The Hidden Treasures of the New World

F.A.Z. · Niklas Maak
One of the best stands is that of David Nolan, who is dedicated solely to the work of Jorinde Voigt. Starting with the lineargraphic graphic and gestural approaches of the learned musician to Beethoven's sonatas, the small retrospective extends to the golden and midnight blue shimmering images of 2018 and a cycle of works, the Roland Barthes "fragments of a language of love" in ciphers, patterns, Dynamograms, transmits things and signs: One sees in these works the emergence of a very own, eigenwelt language, from which one can only read fragments, whose forms one still understands as pictures of order, dissolution, hesitation, Accelerate, shrink, calculate, attractiveness. The beauty of harmonious parallel lines meets the beauty of a completely knotted chaos, heating the form to break-ins of deadly coldness, expeditionary troops of figures and drawings and notes marching through mental landscapes, diagrams turn into hilly landscapes, half-spoken words disappear in a stream of lines and numbers in particular, lines run as high-voltage lines over threedimensional shapes reminiscent of extraterrestrial body parts.
