Flat Finish was the title of a solo show by MICHAEL KREBBER. The exhibition consisted in two simultaneous presentations at Galerie Buchholz in Berlin and Cologne this autumn. Both spaces featured each a series of 50 works on paper impeccably framed and exactly hung in the same way. This new body of work consists exclusively of small drawings in pencil and pen. They are minimal lines drawn by hand on ruled sheets of paper. The lines are loose and inaccurate as if the artist had failed at the simple exercise of following the printed lines as well as at the impossible task of thwarting them.

The exhibitions at Buchholz galleries are now closed. Please note that KREBBER‘s work is currently the subject of a survey show titled The Living Wedge at Museo Serralves in Porto, Portugal on view through January 15, 2017. This exhibition will travel to the Kunsthalle Bern from February 18 to April 30, 2017.
