Exhibition Schere Stein Papier (Eng.: Paper, Scissors, Rock) concentrates on matter how contemporary artists deal with the abstraction and the medium of paper. The exhibition oscillates around these two subjects and diverse artistic approaches towards them. Among the artists two different approaches could be recognised. The first one has been created by the artists who have consciously decided to deal with the abstraction, developed in this direction and found their own way of expression. For the others, abstraction is only one of the artistic mediums with which they present their ideas. Paper is an element, which connects all the artists and builds a common field of dialogue. For once, paper as a medium is one of the most popular. Furthermore it requires discipline, creativity and innovation to work with. The artists’ works with these attitudes and within them they reach outside of the limits of this medium and present new ways of the artistic development. Schere Stein Papier exhibition displays works of different artists presented together, despite different approaches towards abstraction and paper. The curatorial concept is based on confrontation, similarities or oppositions and surprises. With a help of such tools the exhibition has made different interpretations possible. Its aesthetic display stimulates recipients to find their own ways of narration. At the same time it presents various ways of understanding contemporary art.
