Fragments of a Method

View ‘Fragments of a Method’, a new exhibition by Elke Finkenauer.

Between 2020 and 2023 Elke Finkenauer drew and described 5,279 things from her studio, guided by three rules: 1) embrace mistakes, 2) avoid new purchases, 3) bypass value-judgements and quantifiable information. Her gestural, fast drawings are captured on repurposed and cast-off paper. They are presented in 19 handmade books alongside descriptions noting subtle variations in these seemingly inconsequential objects.
