A Quiet Material Poem Between Sculpture and Drawing
With Inge Schmidt: see you soon, plastic pieces and drawings, basedonart in Düsseldorf presents an exhibition that sharpens the focus on the seemingly trivial. Inge Schmidt, born in 1944 in Bonn, lives and works in Cologne; her artistic career is shaped by a sculpture study at Städel in Frankfurt, a guest scholarship at Villa Romana in Florence, and the August Macke Medal from the city of Bonn. The presentation at boa-basedonart starts exactly where material, form, and spatial presence transition into a concentrated aesthetic experience.

Material as a Thinking Space
Schmidt's works unfold their effect not through loud effects but through precision. According to the exhibition notice, she works with thin wood, cardboard, corrugated cardboard, adhesive tape, string, or wire and calls these materials unremarkable. This is precisely where her strength lies: from simple means arise plastic pieces that reveal their inner order and make relationships between surface, line, space, and balance visible. This examination of the works is both sensual and analytical. ([artjunk.de](https://www.artjunk.de/upcoming/))
Between Spatial Tension and Drawing Density
The exhibition promises an art experience in which sculpture and drawing do not stand separately next to each other but penetrate each other. The curatorial approach of basedonart, as an artist-led gallery to present international contemporary art and cross-cultural dialogues, frames Schmidt's position particularly well. This creates an exhibition atmosphere where reduction becomes the poetic principle, and every formal setting demands attention.

Why This Exhibition is Important
For art enthusiasts, this opens up an encounter with a sculpture that understands material not merely as substance but as a bearer of meaning. The exhibition is both an educational offering and an invitation to concentrated perception: those who take the time will discover nuances in construction, rhythm, and spatial impact. The opening takes place on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM at basedonart in Düsseldorf; according to available information, admission is free. ([artjunk.de](https://www.artjunk.de/upcoming/))
Conclusion: This exhibition impressively demonstrates how much expression can lie in quiet materials. Anyone interested in contemporary sculpture, drawing, and precise curation should definitely experience Inge Schmidt live at basedonart. ([artjunk.de](https://www.artjunk.de/upcoming/))
