Opening on Friday, November 17th, 2023, 7.30 p.m
Music: Johannes Mössinger – piano
With Simone Rosenow and Jan Douma, two positions of non-representational expression meet. Rosenow’s dynamic drawings meet Douma’s reduced sculptures. Rhythmic drawings, whether with pen or brush, on paper or canvas, in small or large formats, characterize Rosenow’s work. The movement of emergence can always be read, the lines correspond to each other. Whether they are applied delicately or broadly, loosely next to each other, floatingly distributed, flowing towards or against each other, they have the effect of sounds in a wide space. Douma’s abstract sculptures are made of blackened wood, stone or iron. The material is processed in different ways, from being left almost raw with only minimal interventions to being shaped and finely sanded. The works are assembled from several elements or worked out from one piece. The focus is on the intermediate areas, transitions and references between the elements and the interplay between form, material and surface. Movement meets calmness, lightness meets seriousness, narrowness meets wideness, standing next to each other, facing each other or leaning against each other, bumping into each other, crowding, connecting, moving away – sound meets silence.

50 Jahre BFB Landesverband BBK
Regierungspräsidium am Rondellplatz, Karlsruhe
OPENING
Sunday 16 July 2023 11 a.m
GREETINGS Sylvia M. Felder, District President dr Albert Kauflein, Mayor of the City of Karlsruhe

Between artistic creation and cultural politics Dagmar Schmidt, Chair of the BBK Federal Association of Visual Artists
The rascal among the comedians George Schweitzer
The BBK State Association of Visual Artists Baden-Württemberg is celebrating its 50th anniversary with an exhibition in the Karlsruhe Regional Council. It shows the lively and interesting cultural work in the artist houses of the BBK districts of Baden-Württemberg, some of which are much older than the state association, which was only founded as an umbrella organization in 1972. Each of the five BBK district associations – South Baden, Karlsruhe, Heidelberg, Region Mannheim and Ulm – has developed its own concept for this exhibition and presents itself with its own format. The visitor thus experiences the entire spectrum of artistic forms of expression, which also give an insight into the different working methods of the district associations. The BBK Landesverband as the umbrella organization presents its cultural work on an information wall with text and images in a way that is easy to understand historical images and exciting texts. The district association of Karlsruhe, for example, is the oldest association and goes back to an early foundation in 1854.

Jan Douma – Interference
Sculpture and painting
2023. With texts by Antje Lechleiter and Herbert M. Hurka. 88 pages, 50 color illustrations, 23 x 29 cm, Hardcover, thread-stitching. German/ english. ISBN 978-3-86833-325-1 modo Verlag, Freiburg. Will be released spring 2023
Leaning, laying, stacking: the sculptor and painter Jan Douma, in his extremely succinct handling of the respective material, be it that of the sculpture or that of the paint, does not look for the world in the figurative representation and depictability, but he feels it in the forms and form references themselves. It is often a dualistic body and space experience of being in between, of emptiness or instability, which is reflected in the choice of materials (stone, wood, concrete, iron – oil and acrylic) and surface treatment (flamed, roughly hewn, nuanced in color – vertical and striped) specified. A compact granite block delicately touches a towering oak stele at a tiny point, two columnar concrete sculptures make contact with one another, tongue-shaped, grained olive wood rests in partnership on black flamed ash – in the painting, deep vertical layers of paint make their way upwards and create Vibration and transition in the midst of an abstract spatiality.
Antje Lechleiter and Herbert M. Hurka have written two knowledgeable accompanying essays on Jan Douma’s meaningful work.
