Das Material der Werke erweckt den Anschein von Lebendigkeit und Tiefe, besonders im Kontrast zu den sauberen, einfach gefertigten Sockeln.<\/p>\n The parallels between the book and the human body are important to the artist, who regularly devotes herself to drawing nudes. Even the feel and coloring of the paper is reminiscent of human skin. Man and book share their spatiotemporal presence and vulnerability. Even beyond this, the works can awaken associations and reveal parallels, for example with regard to how unity arises and disintegrates, thus spanning a wide arc through cultural history from \u201ccoincidence\u201d to \u201cAltamira\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=“1″ admin_label=“Sektion Wei\u00df“ module_id=“Teilnahme“ _builder_version=“4.16″ background_color=“#ffffff“ height=“100%“ custom_margin=“||0px|||“ custom_padding=“90px|0px|90px|0px||“ saved_tabs=“all“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_row column_structure=“1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=“4.16″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_padding=“||3px|||“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_column type=“1_2″ _builder_version=“4.16″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_image src=“https:\/\/www.mse-kunsthalle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/papierarbeit_popp-scaled.jpg“ alt=“Die K\u00fcnstlerin zeigt ungew\u00f6hnlich gefertigte B\u00fccher.“ title_text=“papierarbeit_popp“ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=“1_2″ _builder_version=“4.16″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.27.4″ custom_margin=“2px||0px||false|false“ custom_padding=“||20px|||“ inline_fonts=“Open Sans“ global_colors_info=“{}“]<\/p>\n The \u201cTriangular Ring Book\u201d does without right angles - only its cover returns the work to the usual grid \u2013 and emphasizes the status of the book as a spatial object that arches over the base like a caterpillar. The rings could give rise to the question of how the connection \u2013 both of its pages and its history of transmission \u2013 is created.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=“1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=“4.16″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_padding=“||3px|||“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_column type=“1_2″ _builder_version=“4.16″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_image src=“https:\/\/www.mse-kunsthalle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/popp_sterbender_niobide-scaled.jpg“ alt=“Die Papierarbeit von Maria Popp zeigt Skizzen einer Skulptur.“ title_text=“popp_sterbender_niobide“ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=“1_2″ _builder_version=“4.16″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.27.4″ custom_margin=“2px||0px||false|false“ custom_padding=“||20px|||“ inline_fonts=“Open Sans“ global_colors_info=“{}“]<\/p>\n The \u00bbDying Niobid\u00ab is a late classical sculpture depicting a son of Niobe in his last moments of agony. The artist has examined the marble sculpture in the Munich Glyptothek again and again in sketches. In her leporello, the sketches once again gain life-size plasticity through staggering and superimposition and at the same time make it clear that the book is also a temporal medium.<\/p>\n (Picture by the artist)<\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=“1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=“4.16″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_padding=“||3px|||“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_column type=“1_2″ _builder_version=“4.16″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_image src=“https:\/\/www.mse-kunsthalle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/popp_aufloesung.jpg“ alt=“Die Papierarbeit von Maria Popp scheint in Aufl\u00f6sung begriffen.“ title_text=“popp_aufloesung“ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=“1_2″ _builder_version=“4.16″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.27.4″ custom_margin=“2px||0px||false|false“ custom_padding=“||20px|||“ inline_fonts=“Open Sans“ global_colors_info=“{}“]<\/p>\n The leporello seems to be in the process of \u00bbdisintegration\u00ab, layering slips of paper in various states of decay on one side, while the writing on the reverse seems to be fighting against oblivion and the ravages of time. Apparently, the precious slipcase will soon only contain individual leaves. The book is no less threatened by decay than the human being.<\/p>\n (Picture by the artist)<\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=“1″ admin_label=“Seiten Titel“ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ background_color=“rgba(170,145,188,0.24)“ background_color_gradient_direction=“15deg“ background_enable_image=“off“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_row _builder_version=“4.16″ custom_padding=“||2px|||“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_column type=“4_4″ _builder_version=“4.16″ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.16″ custom_margin=“2px||0px||false|false“ custom_padding=“||20px|||“ inline_fonts=“Open Sans“ global_colors_info=“{}“]<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Do you write a diary?<\/em><\/p>\n Yes, I write in my diary, not regularly, but a lot at times.<\/p>\n Is that connected to the artistic creative process? Only indirectly: Diaries are about the topic of perception itself, which flows into the artistic creation.<\/span><\/p>\n Do you re-read your old diaries? Rarely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Your works clearly show a long creative process: Is that more important than the result? You can't really say that. Neither is conceivable without the other, both are roughly equal. One reacts to intermediate results, which in turn influence the work process. On the other hand, if it was clear from the outset that nothing would be left, you wouldn't start. But it also happens that I discard the result. That doesn't necessarily mean that the project has failed. For me, it's about developing perception and realization.<\/p>\n You regularly devote yourself to nude drawing, where the process and repetition also seem to be at the center, not the production of a thing: art as practice?<\/em><\/p>\n I find it difficult to describe myself as an artist. Practicing and processing are the decisive factors for me.<\/span><\/p>\n The book \u00bbDying Niobid\u00ab collages sketches of a late classical Greek sculpture depicting a figure from even older mythology \u2013 how does one deal with the legacy? <\/em><\/p>\n This motif in particular has been the subject of much work in art history. Every person can deal with the legacy in a new way from their own perspective. The figure looks to me like a film still: it captures a movement in the body tension of the figure, the last moment of dying. I see a great deal of technical skill in how this is achieved.<\/p>\n Is this your favorite figure in the Glyptothek?<\/em><\/p>\n Yes.<\/p>\n It inspires you to see the old mastery anew through the eyes of cinema? <\/em><\/p>\n Yes.<\/p>\n Do your works capture book culture's last moment of dying?<\/em><\/p>\n Oh ...<\/p>\n In bookshops, the corner where books for self-writing are sold seems to be growing in proportion.<\/em><\/p>\n Creative or experimental writing definitely has its place, even the biography or poetry albums that interview your grandmother have a value where personal relationships in families are concerned. On the other hand, writing a literary work over many years is a special achievement, the passion, the talent, the suffering involved. The appreciation for this may be softened by the impulse \u201cI can do that too\u201d. This may have to do with the loss of role models and the traditional claim to education as an end in itself. As a cultural educator, I experience in my work that there is a deep enthusiasm, not only for creating, but also for discovering, for which we constantly revisit tradition.<\/p>\n One reason often given for why few books are read is that you can only do it quietly and alone. With this in mind, what does your working process look like? <\/em><\/p>\n Creative work, painting, drawing, has a lot to do with being alone and in silence and requires long periods of time, hours that can pass without any results. I cope better than average with solitude and silence.<\/p>\n \n Texte und Fragen Andreas Pawlitschko<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=“1″ admin_label=“Sektion Wei\u00df“ module_id=“Teilnahme“ _builder_version=“4.16″ background_color=“#ce1b18″ height=“100%“ custom_padding=“0px|0px|0px|0px||“ saved_tabs=“all“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_row admin_label=“Zeile“ _builder_version=“4.16″ background_size=“initial“ background_position=“top_left“ background_repeat=“repeat“ custom_padding=“0px|0px|31px|0px||“ custom_width_px=“710px“ locked=“off“ global_colors_info=“{}“][et_pb_column type=“4_4″ _builder_version=“4.16″ background_position=“top_left“ custom_padding=“|||“ global_colors_info=“{}“ custom_padding__hover=“|||“][et_pb_divider divider_weight=“3px“ disabled_on=“off|off|off“ admin_label=“Trenner“ _builder_version=“4.16″ background_color_gradient_direction=“90deg“ width=“33px“ max_width=“100px“ module_alignment=“center“ height=“5px“ custom_margin=“||20px|“ custom_padding=“||8px||false|false“ animation_style=“slide“ animation_direction=“bottom“ locked=“off“ global_colors_info=“{}“][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_button button_url=“https:\/\/www.mse-kunsthalle.de\/“ button_text=“Zur\u00fcck zur Startseite“ _builder_version=“4.16″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_button=“on“ button_text_size=“14px“ button_text_color=“#ffffff“ global_colors_info=“{}“][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Papierarbeiten von Maria PoppIm Sommer 2025 zeigte die mSE Kunsthalle drei Papierarbeiten der K\u00fcnstlerin und Kulturp\u00e4dagogin Maria Popp. Die Werke weisen den Entstehungsprozess als Schichtung beschriebener, bemalter, \u00fcberarbeiteter Lagen auf und erinnern an die Geschichte des Mediums Buch, das auch als auratisches Objekt an die Rezipienten herantritt.
