Jårg Geismar
The work of Jårg Geismar (1958 – 2019) is characterised by frequent alternation between ambiguity of thought and literalness in physical outcomes. In Geismar’s work, the meanings of familiar concepts of art criticism and theory, such as drawing in space and relational aesthetics, have always teetered between over-saturation and complete looseness: a state in which all interrelationships threaten to snap like ropes stretched beyond measure, and points of contact become loose. The endless networking across architectural space, social groups and artistic media gave the name to the subtitle of his monographic book The Red Line.
