BEYOND<\/strong> This third solo exhibition of Erinna K\u00f6nigs \u00fcberpolitical sculptural paintings forms the climax of the series exhibiting previously unseen work spanning four decades.<\/p>\n BEYOND\u00a0spurs the viewer to look further, feel deeper, be transported \u2018beyond\u2019 by K\u00f6nig\u2019s masterful compositions, boldly composed with wit and finesse.<\/p>\n Erinna K\u00f6nig charges found objects with innuendo combining the personal with the political, the individial with the universal, purposefully proposing profound perspectives.<\/p>\n Inserting, collaging, chiseling, nailing, painting, hammering, sawing or sewing \u2013 in limitless variations infuses Erinna K\u00f6nig her compositions with deep meaning. E<\/span>loquently she merges contrasts and paradoxes into one idiomatic language both abstract and figurative. <\/span><\/p>\n With playful easy she weaves narratives from seemingly random points of departure. A shadow, plywood, scaffolding plank, brick, asbestos cladding, household furniture, her own body or an ironing board, with a twist they tell a new tale. Nothing is left to chance, every minute detail carefully considered. Aesthetic values weigh as much as symbolic references, cut angles, choices of colour or paint, artisanal proficiency or a piece\u2019s provenance.<\/p>\n With singular drive young Erinna K\u00f6nig enters the D\u00fcsseldorf art academy in 1967 to study scenography under Teo Otto, graphics under <\/span>Dieter Roth, then joins Joseph Beuys\u2019 master class and in 1974 creates the first ever moving image in the first film class under Ole John Povlsen. Elected president of the first D\u00fcsseldorf Academy student parliament, she also reads comparative languages and religious studies \/ Judaism at the universities of Cologne and Bonn.<\/p>\n Following a decade of political activism, in 1982 Erinna K\u00f6nig reengages with her early work at the academy to create her distinctive mature work beautiful and strong, perplexing and thoughtprovoking. Her enigmatic symbolism poses personal and political puzzles in stylish conjugations evoking questions irking mankind.<\/p>\n Uscha Pohl<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=“2_5″ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_image src=“https:\/\/erinnakoenig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/byond_s.png“ title_text=“byond_s“ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_margin=“60px||||false|false“ custom_margin_tablet=“0px||||false|false“ custom_margin_phone=“0px||||false|false“ custom_margin_last_edited=“on|desktop“ global_colors_info=“{}“][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=“1_5,1_5,1_5,1_5,1_5″ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_column type=“1_5″ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_video src=“https:\/\/erinnakoenig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Beyond1_Insta6.mp4″ src_webm=“https:\/\/erinnakoenig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Beyond1_Insta6.webm“ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=“1_5″ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_video src=“https:\/\/erinnakoenig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Beyond1_Insta1.mp4″ src_webm=“https:\/\/erinnakoenig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Beyond1_Insta1.webm“ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=“1_5″ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_video src=“https:\/\/erinnakoenig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Beyond1_Insta2.mp4″ src_webm=“https:\/\/erinnakoenig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Beyond1_Insta2.webm“ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=“1_5″ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_video src=“https:\/\/erinnakoenig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Beyond1_Insta3.mp4″ src_webm=“https:\/\/erinnakoenig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Beyond1_Insta3.webm“ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=“1_5″ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_video src=“https:\/\/erinnakoenig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Beyond1_Insta4.mp4″ src_webm=“https:\/\/erinnakoenig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Beyond1_Insta4.webm“ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_column type=“4_4″ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=“878,877,879,880,881,882,883,884,885,886,887,888,889,890,891,892,894,893,895,896,897,898,899,900,901,902,903,904,905,906,907,908″ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_column type=“4_4″ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=“862,861,866,865,864,863,867,868,869,870,871,872,874,873,875,876″ _builder_version=“4.27.5″ _module_preset=“default“ hover_enabled=“0″ global_colors_info=“{}“ sticky_enabled=“0″][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BEYONDERINNA K\u00d6NIG This third solo exhibition of Erinna K\u00f6nigs \u00fcberpolitical sculptural paintings forms the climax of the series exhibiting previously unseen work spanning four decades.
