Catalogue Note
“[Schendel] was interested in geometric abstraction, but the abstraction in her work is a different kind. She is offering an alternate paradigm; she establishes an alternative line, to do with being and ontology, through a minimal, precarious gesture - a kind of softness A slight gesture can be powerful.”
