Material becomes space: Inge Schmidt at basedonart
With see you then, plastic pieces and drawings, basedonart in Düsseldorf presents an exhibition that develops a precise, concentrated artistic language from seemingly simple materials. Inge Schmidt works with a quiet consistency on form, surface, and spatial presence. The result is an art experience between sculpture, drawing, and object that sharpens perception and intensifies aesthetic experience.
A sculpture of reduction
Inge Schmidt's works arise from a sensitive handling of material and construction. Thin wood, cardboard, corrugated cardboard, glue, tape, string, and wire become plastic pieces that seek no dramatic effect. It is precisely their restraint that creates tension. Lines, edges, surfaces, and spaces engage in an open dialogue that recalls constructive and minimalist ways of thinking, while simultaneously preserving a very personal handwriting.
Drawing as a spatial trace
The drawings not only complement these sculptures but expand them into a second level of work observation. They act like conceptual notations, like precise placements on paper that reorder the relationship between surface and space. Thus, an exhibition is created where drawing is not illustration but its own medium of concentration.
The exhibition atmosphere at basedonart
basedonart, as an artist-run gallery, specializes in international contemporary and pre-modern Asian art as well as antique ceramics and understands curation as a cultural exchange. In this environment, Schmidt's works unfold with a special calmness. The art experience thrives on the closeness to material and structure, on the quiet presence of the objects, and on the openness with which the space invites participation. The exhibition makes visible how a strong artistic form can emerge from the ordinary.
Why a visit is worthwhile
This exhibition is aimed at visitors who appreciate precisely constructed art, reduced formal language, and a reflective engagement with material. Those visiting Düsseldorf in late summer and autumn 2026 for art exhibitions will find a position here that combines intimacy, clarity, and intellectual tension. A visit on site is definitely worthwhile, as the fine spatial relationships and material effects can only be fully realized through direct experience.
