UTOPIA - KATHARINA GROSSE

Katharina Grosse pulls the painting out of the frame and lets us step into it. Colorful clouds of paint, a 200 cubic meter mound of earth and arced paintings 12 meters high fill the Art Axis, making up an all-encompassing three-dimensional painting.
 
Paint strokes flow across the floor and the walls, merging the architectural surfaces. The whole room changes shape, creating a new, potential space – a utopian “no-place” inspiring us to think beyond our existing circumstances to a new and better world.
