Katja Pudor_Anonyme Zeichner_2024

Kunstraum Kreuzberg, Berlin, 15. November 2024 - 12. January 2025

ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS + LINES FICTION
Opening: Friday, 15. November, 5-11pm
How are our judgements about art affected by our knowledge of the artists name and background? How is the value of a drawing determined? Where is the boundary between art and non-art? Around 1000 drawings by 1000 international artists will be presented as part of the exhibition ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS 2024 at Kunstraum Kreuzberg, Berlin. The works will be exhibited with no mention of authorship or title and offered for sale at a symbolic unit price of 250 Euro. The identity of the artist is revealed only after the work is sold: Sold drawings will be taken right off the wall. The empty space left behind will be marked with the artist‘s full name and place of origin. The given unit sales price should not be seen as a real market price, but as a conceptual place holder for any conceivable amount of money in the art market. The exhibition was preceded by an international open call for entries. Everyone was eligible. There were no requirements in terms of content or form. The only requirement was that the submitted drawing is no bigger than A3. Age, biography or gender of the artists were not requested and did not play any role in the anonymous selection process. The exhibited drawings were selected from over 4400 submissions by the artist and project founder Anke Becker. All the drawings were put together in collaboration with the artists Veronike Hinsberg and Inken Reinert to create a collective work of art.
ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS is conceptual art and exhibition project all in one: Each and every artist becomes part of a collective work of art where hierarchies are entirely absent.
Parallel to the exhibition of ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS, LINES FICTION will present an extensive series of animated films.

Performance Weekend at Kleine Orangerie, Schloss Charlottenburg, Berlin, 8.-10. September 2023
Draw the lines, lines buzzing
Katja Pudor with Hilary Jeffery and Elena Kakaliagou
Sunday, 10. September, 5pm

In the performance Sounds draw the lines, lines buzzing Katja Pudor, Hilary Jeffery and Elena Kakaliagou work together for the first time.
In the performance, which lasts about an hour, something common develops equally in the process, as in a petri dish. Each influences the emerging
work with her/his personality and her/his specific working context. On a white sheet of paper measuring 4.50 m x 10 m, a draftswoman and two
musicians enter into resonance. In order to be able to react to the sound emerging from different sources, the attention of the players is focused
on "hearing" and "perceiving" each other. Hilary Jeffery is a brass player and composer active in improvisation, electronic and contemporary music.
Elena Kakaliagou, horn player in the field of contemporary, improvised and free music, working in Berlin since 2010 and always with pleasure
open for new encounters on stage.

ODRADEK, Brussels, 15. July - 17. August 2023
outside and inside at the same time

Transfer and resonance
Upon her arrival in residence at the beginning of July, Katja Pudor, immediately occupied her territory by covering the walls with sheets of paper more than three meters high.
The first exhibition room facing the street was thus wrapped from the walls to the floor included. In the whiteness of the paper and the space that has become receptacle,
the artist places herself in position to trigger the action of drawing-writing while playing her instruments, brushes-prostheses extending his body. The body is an integral part
of the arranged space, integrated in order to function as a sounding board. Katja Pudor, like the musician, plays with her instruments, composes a writing-signs that extends
into the space by a particular presence to herself. The artist, transformed into a dancer, displays on the paper a written-danced account of the movements dictated to her by
her inner sound. The writing then spreads, expands, amplifies in the inscribed space that become vibrant. These signs that radiate through their presence and transfer their energy
allow a rebound to the other side of writing, that of music, of choreography, of stage arts or other multiple possibilities. This actualization and materialization can then serve
as a reading grid and be interpreted by choreographers and musicians. Everything happens as if in the wake of the body that gives itself and reflects upon itself, the graphic
arrangement of the walls from the inside opened to the outside. Katia Pudor aims to overcome our most tenacious separations, namely: writing-vs-signs, writing-vs-dance-vs-music.
Katja Pudor is a body that is prolonged, that folds and unfolds from the inside to the outside to the rhythm of standing up and lying down.

Architecture considered to be the oldest of all arts always stood the most important and pragmatic role of them all. One of architecture′s duties
is to stand as a platform for exhibiting other art mediums. In "Enclosed Space" artists reverse its role. In the neutral space of white cube artists
explore its fundamental elements and tasks by creating their own vision of them. Some exhibited artworks modify elements hidden in the building′s flesh,
other works present ready–made building elements that change their meaning and give a new perspective in the white cube space. Part of the exhibition is
created by new forms that by material and form connect themselves to architecture, but by their composition and malfunctioning form present rather
its opposition. Some of the presented artworks get the inspiration from architecture′s repetitiveness and reproducibility by using its elements as geometrical
decorative patterns which could be placed close to Bauhaus aesthetics. Presented forms include sound installation, sculpture, 3D architectural models,
digital painting space intervention, ready–made, photographs and site specific temporal architecture sculpture that question defined ways of architecture.

Opening hours: Saturday and Sunday 11am - 5pm, or by appointment kunstraumbrauer@googlemail.com

I Feel Like A Dancer, A Choreographer, A Pianist
Opening 12. Oktober 2022, 7 pm

In her solo exhibition "I feel like a dancer, a choreographer, a pianist", Katja Pudor shows a complex of drawings that are the result
of an intensive examination of complex processes of reception and transfer and see themselves as seismographic traces of these
processes. For Pudor, drawing is the medium that makes visible the condensation of experienced time, the recording of the momentary
present, which is passing and has become the past, in the sense of setting traces on paper.

Curated by Matthias Beckmann and Katja Pudor

The exhibition Über die Zeichnung hinaus shows the abundance of current drawing positions in Berlin: exuberant pictorial narrative and strict reduction, figuration and abstraction, documentation and site inspection, illusion and its suspension, the microscopic and the generous, drawing as performance, in books, in space or in animation film. Whether on paper or in combination with other media, drawing goes beyond itself and crosses borders. The Berlin drawing scene also includes project spaces, magazines, networks and websites that deal with drawing and its expansion. Exemplarily, some of these projects present themselves in the exhibition.

Without a space for ourselves we are not able to be ourselves, a simple and profound observation, formulated by the writer Virginia Woolf
and adopted by Katja Pudor as the starting idea for her installation. A sacred space, a cell of creative seclusion. Pudor imagines herself in this
space of reflection and production, drawing on large-format sheets that hang from the ceiling here like fragile protective covers, skins or walls
of a fragile dwelling, a space in space emerges, mobile and fragile. A spiritual space, with traces of physical presence.
