Group show. A line can be very anarchic. It can be found in every spatial structure: for without a line to link them, A and B are just two useless dots.

If an object is ideal, no further change is necessary and no further improvement possible. The optimal goal of all development:
be it intellectual, emotional or artistic. The ideal is an idea that always represents the best conceivable – or the conceivable best.
Artists always seek to attain this end. And on the way there, they design and realise without knowing exactly whether the result
really does correspond to the original projection and is, therefore, ideal. For in both phases – the planning and the execution –
every unwanted deviation could result in a project‘s downfall. Even the best idea can ultimately be ruined if it is implemented
inattentively. A poor idea, on the contrary, can never be steered onto the ideal lane, not even if its realization is perfect.
Every ideal obviously arises from an individual notion, however, and cannot be generalised. What one person finds ideal might
leave another completely cold. Hence, the only promising approach is to pursue one’s own path. Often, however, there is a very
painful realisation that one is not up to it. But with perseverance those very patterns of behaviour may arise from which – in the
course of time – a thread unravels to create a line of its own.
The unique thing about lines is that they always have a starting point, but not necessarily an end. Lines can be endless – or at
least seem to be so. From a geometrical perspective, a line is the shortest distance between two points. Lines are most frequently
drawn on sheets of paper: from A to B, or anywhere, in fact. When it departs from the domain of mathematical exactitude, a line
can be very anarchic, intertwined and wild – and quite content to be alone. It can be found in every spatial structure: for without
a line to link them, A and B are just two useless dots.
