Claudia Wieser: Poems of the Right Angle November 3, 2010

The Drawing Center will present the first solo museum exhibition in North America of work by the Berlin-based artist Claudia Wieser (b. 1973, Freilassing, Germany). On view in the Drawing Room, 'Claudia Wieser: Poems of the Right Angle' will feature a site-specific installation of optical and spatial illusions that foregrounds Wieser's distinctive approach to abstraction. Wieser will juxtapose a nine-foot prismatic wall relief constructed of glazed ceramic tile and mirrored facets with a new series of line drawings in colored pencil on paper. A geometrically patterned wallpaper, produced by scanning and enlarging handmade translucent paper collages, will serve as a backdrop for the drawings and mirror, creating the dizzying sensation of immersion in a Futurist painting.
