JACQUELINE HUMPHRIES in Between Pixel and Pigment: Hybrid Painting in Post-Digital Times

July 7 – Nov 10, 2024
Kunsthalle Bielefeld and MARTa Herford

Jacqueline Humphries is included in the group exhibition Between Pixel and Pigment, held concurrently at Kunsthalle Bielefeld and MARTta Herford in Germany.

The exhibition brings together 25 artists and artist duos who deal with materiality, aesthetics and the influence of the digital and virtual on painting and transform them into their own hybrid visuality. The focus is on positions in painting that draw on both traditional and computer-generated technologies in creating their works: image processing and digital drawing programs, printing techniques, virtual and augmented reality, AI, animation and 3D software, as well as algorithmic programs and codes are examined with the means of painting and become artistic means themselves.

Supplemented by early examples from the 1950s, the exhibition establishes a connection ranging from computer-based painting of the 1980s all the way to recent examples of AI applications. The artists largely dissolve classic categories and expand the concept of painting based on our post-digital present.

The exhibition will be complemented by an international, public symposium in cooperation with the Kunstakademie Münster on July 19 and 20, 2024. The symposium will provide insights into the history, developments and potential of post-digital painting.
