And just as archetypal,<br \/>how paradise nevertheless seems familiar to us, who think we do not know it, is the<br \/>primitive structure of this ancient city, which is no longer known in our modern world.<br \/>intuitively graspable: as a memory, as a place of longing, as a model and as a wish.<br \/>One cannot think of Damascus without projecting.<br \/>After a study stay in the Syrian metropolis, the Munich sculptor Nele Str\u00f6bel has<br \/>developed the project for a spatial work dealing with the highly complex urban organism,<br \/>The artist&#8217;s work is a phenomenological-artistic exploration of his private, public, and imaginary spaces.<br \/>Nele Str\u00f6bel thereby opens up the field of tension between the different meanings and<br \/>levels of interpretation of a city that is as real and alive as it is mystical, in that it deals with<br \/>simultaneous artistic reflections, formed in different media, and<br \/>analyses approaches the topic.<br \/>Thus, the most tangible, three-dimensional components of the &#8220;narrative space,&#8221; as Str\u00f6bel calls her<br \/>Installation project names, 52 terracotta objects, shape and space variations, based on<br \/>different folds always of the same surface pattern. From different colored clays<br \/>fired and partly provided with contrasting stripes, the variety of the resulting<br \/>small spatial structures as astounding as they are illuminating; they invite as spatial signs and gestures<br \/>The pictures are an invitation to explore the spatial structure explored by Str\u00f6bel.<br \/>In addition, in a further step of abstraction, there are four large-format plan drawings on clay paper.<br \/>and opera foil. The felt-tip pen drawings, which on the one hand the road network and building outlines,<br \/>on the other hand isometrics of individual buildings, grouped around them, become the almost<br \/>ornamental plafond of the clay models, beyond that they serve as projection surfaces. In<br \/>their, measured against modern city plans, deliberate inaccuracy in dealing with a consistent<br \/>cartographic point of view, these drawings stand in contrast to historical plans with their through<br \/>the human perception weighted perspective changes and emphasis close. At<br \/>the surfaces of these plan drawings, creating a maximum of atmospheric density,<br \/>documentary photos of streets, architecture and life in Damascus projected.<br \/>About twenty works on paper with further plan drawings deal with special city districts<br \/>and lead the viewer deeper into the details. With felt pen and neon afterglow paint<br \/>the depicted city squares shine in the semi-darkness of the projection room and the<br \/>add another level of the wall that both thematizes and dissolves the surrounding wall.<br \/>Acquisition of the city population. As the most immediate reflection of the impressions, the exhibition project<br \/>supplemented by numerous hand drawings and photographs with views of the city, which the artist<br \/>made during her study visit on site.<br \/>In an increasingly globalized world with uniform large cities, confusingly similar to each other<br \/>sensually experienceable and tangible (living) space to an ever rarer, human<br \/>needs and longings, but also a necessary place of reassurance.<br \/>of oneself, counteracting the progressive de-localization and digital isolation of the individual.<br \/>Nele Str\u00f6bel&#8217;s DAMASKUS PROJECT makes it directly tangible how important such places are.<br \/>from very immediate experiences such as the touching of an ancient wall to the<br \/>to the literary reflections on a human-made, to a kind of second<br \/>nature or even an earthly paradise.<br \/><em>Dagmar Schott M.A., art historian, Munich<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                \n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Info A modular spatial work consisting of terracottas, plan drawings with night luminescent paints, urban space views as hand drawings and beamer projections.The terracottas are individually up to 50 centimeters high, respectively wide and made of different coloredClays built.
