Anne Pöhlmann’s exhibition Japanraum is based on the experiences and impressions of a three-month residency in Kyoto. The resulting mixed media works are photographs printed on textiles, which were taken in Japan, and then sewn onto various other fabrics.

The “photography schools” in the Rhineland have been and still are, of international significance. In the Rhineland, the engagement with photography as a conceptual medium is closely linked with the names of Bernd and Hilla Becher.

The material composition of the pieces themselves follows the same path, unraveling an almost analytical, yet also synthetic, complexity. “Framing fabrics“, Patchwork textile pieces, printed designs and architectural sketches come together in what seems to be an overlapping illusionistic game of impressions, where depiction, materiality and meaning clash with each other in an otherwise gentle dialogue.
Skulptur im Foto – über die fotografische Dokumentation hinaus, Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl
In komplett verschiedener, ebenfalls sehr eigenständiger künstlerischer Annäherung hat sich Anne Pöhlmann mit den Skulpturen aus der Sammlung des Marler Museums beschäftigt und auf großformatige Stoffbahnen übertragen. Jedoch lassen alle motivischen Drehungen, filmische Reihungen und Überlagerungen den dokumentarischen Aussagewert der Abbildungen niemals gänzlich verschwinden.

Anne Pöhlmann’s most recent work consists of photographs of basic geometric forms printed on fabric. In this series of large format works, sheets of fabric are printed with repeating imagery and presented on primed white canvases.

The camera provided a stoppage to reality, whereas we had other ways of seeing where perception was embedded into the process – most obviously painting. But a generation of Photoshop users… Continue reading Blur as a filter
Kurven, Clages Gallery
In the Light of the Manipulator by Oliver Tepel The darkroom once held alchemical secrets, an image appeared on pale paper out of nothing. Its developing process was subject to many uncertainties, and the result proved intractable as a marble sculpture. Photographers liked to stress that their medium was no more than reflected and filtered… Continue reading Kurven, Clages Gallery
