Lines are the aesthetic form that touches us in everyday life. The delicate lines of the eyelashes of a child, the lines in the face of aging people draw the years, but also the curved course of a river, an architectural form or the bare branches in winter looming black against the sky.

Kunsthaus Dresden is devoted to “Lines / Lines” his first show after the facade restoration and artistic transformation of the power house of the current effect of the medium of drawing and the transition zones between the drawn line and real spatial environment, artistic gesture and social action space. Whether in the two-dimensional drawing or their transfer into the room, it is the line with a new ideological as well as material reality is conceivable. With a minimum of means this basic form of artistic expression ensures maximum freedom of thought.

Scene of artistic works, performances and interventions is the house itself, the façade, which was designed by the artist Jozef Legrand Art House Square, including the urban area along the Elbe. The architects of the boiler & Züger redesigned entrance and light installation by artist Sebastian Hempel open the house to the main road.
