What to paint?
Artist Talk

With students from Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle and Lizza May David (artist and professor of Foundations of Visual Arts/Painting)

Students from Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle are spending a week exploring the Brücke-Museum garden as a biodiverse environment. In doing so, they are developing artistic approaches that may venture beyond the traditional selection of motifs. The starting point of the students’ investigations is the perception of in-between spaces and the transition between indoor and outdoor areas. How are individual approaches transformed into collaborative works? How do these relate to the artworks in the museum? During the talk, the students will outline their creative processes and present the results of their week’s work to the public.

Lizza May David is a painter and multidisciplinary artist interested in gaps and silences in personal and collective archives and experiments with forms of activation or disturbance through abstract painting. David navigates through affects and moments that elude representability, leading to experimental approaches for the very same reason. David does not assume the existing binary simplifications of the world, but rather thinks relationally in crossroads, turning points, overlapping and branching out, finding further expression in collaborations, architectural interventions or installations.
