“I LOVE THE FACT THAT DRAWING AND ITS EMANCIPATORY AND SUBVERSIVE ENERGY ARE UNDERRATED.”—KATRIN STRÖBEL

Drawing is the basis and point of departure of Katrin Ströbel’s (b. Pforzheim, Germany, 1975; lives and works in Marseille, Stuttgart, and Rabat) practice. Without constraints of technique or format, her works unfold in sprawling installations that often integrate large-scale wall drawings. Ströbel harnesses the diversity of her medium, blurring the boundaries between drawing and writing as well as between line and language and transposing drawing into other media such as photography, video, or the digital realm. Sophisticated observations concerning sociocultural and political issues manifest themselves in her works, which revolve around postcolonial and feminist discourses.

The monograph drawings, collages, works on paper is released on occasion of Ströbel’s receipt of the inaugural fellowship for drawing and paper art awarded by the City of Waiblingen. The publication is the first to present over 150 drawings, collages, and works on paper from different bodies of work spanning around eighteen years in the artist’s career. With a foreword by Anja Gerdemann and an essay by Anita Haldemann.
