The shared medium of Katharina Hinsberg and Monika Gryzmala is drawing. The exploration of the
line is central to both of their work. Many of their artworks transcend the traditional
boundaries of the genre and in their dynamic reach take on an almost sculptural quality.
While Katharina Hinsberg's lines dissect space with precision clarity Monika Grzymala's
imposing bundles of lines penetrate the space with an eruptive power. The two artistic
approaches are being shown together for the first time in the joint exhibition Between a Line
at the Kunsthalle Mannheim. The accompanying catalog was created through an ongoing dialogue
between the two artists. Two sketchbooks formed the basis the artists worked in these
alternately each visually "interrupting" one another constantly striving to confront their
colleague's preliminary drawing work with their own understanding of the line and exploring
their artistic potential through a collaborative practice.
