9. Printing 6 1973 - 1975

Curator: Gerd Winner's "9. Printing 6" presents a stark, seemingly monochromatic street scene. The composition hinges on the interplay of geometric forms. Editor: It feels bleached, almost ethereal. I wonder about the printing process itself – the types of inks, the layering... what choices were made in its production? Curator: The muted palette and flattened perspective contribute to its enigmatic quality. Note how the textures seem simplified, almost diagrammatic. Editor: Right, I'm thinking about the labor involved in creating the screenprint, the industrial context that enables this level of reproduction and dissemination. Curator: Ultimately, it's a study in line and form. The road's curve against the wall establishes a dynamic visual rhythm. Editor: Indeed, and considering its materiality really shifts my understanding; I see it less as a mere image and more as an object produced within a specific socio-economic system. Curator: I appreciate how this singular vision of form and line generates such a multiplicity of readings. Editor: And I find it remarkable how the printing process imprints the image with a sense of its own making, highlighting labor.
