REGINE SCHUMANN - WHO’S AFRAID OF MIRRORS? March 16 until April 30 2016

„What mainly excites me is when art does not only appear object-like at the wall, but positioned in space.“ (Regine Schumann)

In the solo exhibition WHO’S AFRAID OF MIRRORS? Galerie Judith Andreae presents works of Regine Schumann (born 1961 in /Germany). The Leo Breuer Prize-winner (2006) works with materials made of fluorescent acrylic glass. The created objects shine from within themselves, however their full luminosity is being developed through the irradiation with black light. Through the different light sources in daylight and nightlight, her work is able to reach constantly changing surface effects. Schumanns work does not only show a sculptural spatial awareness, but at the same time has a pictorial deep-space, which is created through its surface structure. The emphasis of this exhibition is placed on acrylic glass objects with reflected surfaces, which interact in a particular way with both space and viewer. Works such as color Rainbow /Berlin, color rainbow unna and tower MUC enter a dialogue with a site specific surrounding and immerge spaces in the darkness in a completely new light. For the first time there will also be shown large sized, fluoroscent drawings of the artist, which are set against her objects. With her installation jump! the based artist is currently to be seen within the group exhibition ‚dark’ at Zentrum für internationale Lichtkunst Unna. Numerous works of Regine Schumanns 25 years-long creative period are located in international, both private and public collections and museums, among others at Kunstmuseum Celle, Stroom Foundation Den Haag, Staatliches Museum Schwerin, European Central Bank , Kunsthalle Dominikanerkirche Osnabrück, Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn and Museum Ritter.
