Curator’s notes

Katherina Hinsberg's work is always concerned with drawing: sometimes on paper, sometimes with space sometimes in space, sometimes with pencil, sometimes with cloth, and this time with thread and with space. Kandinsky said »A line is a point hurled into space«, the exhibition space was once the Spinning Room where the spun line of thread was projected into the production process; Hinsberg is inking that line to the moment when textile production ceased at Salts Mill. Kandinsky's line was essentially expressing the sensation of space and what Hinsberg has done is to use the concept of the line as a way of determining the contained space. The line of thread with which she measured the perimeter of the room has been transformed into thread drawing, made from the encompassing of the space. A red thread drawing that contains this vast space within its edges.
