With the group exhibition Pointe, Gerlind Zeilner brings together a series of artistic positions that explore the boundaries between abstract and figurative forms of representation. An exploration of visibility, recognizability and processes of alienation islocated at the blank spaces of verbal definability. What the individual positions have incommon is not only the formal possibilities offered by colors on media, but also theinterweaving of motifs of everyday experience, traces and legacies. The Pointe, understoodhere as a system of a sudden meaningful realization, examines in a loose, almost anecdotalway culmination points and connections of initially unrelated elements. In this, the worksalso prove to be continuous layerings of existential and seemingly lightly conceivedcontent. Somewhere in the supposed contrasts between form and content, the conditions of (painterly) representation intermingle, oscillating between forms of non-verbalizable connotations and also enabling contradictory levels of meaning.
