POSITIONS Berlin Art Fair 2024 – Abi Spendlove

12.09.2024–15.09.2024

Multi Authored Poem

The Olivier von Schulthess Collection was collaborating with British artist Abi Spendlove for the eleventh edition of the art fair. Abi Spendlove’s work is characterized by its focus on the process of melting colored ice, which is particularly evident in her so-called Ice Drawings. These works reflect not only her deep fascination with the different materials and their constant, fluid changes, but also her fundamental interest in the dimension of time and the subtle but powerful effect it can have. By combining these elements, Spendlove creates artworks that are both visually stunning and intellectually profound, inviting us to reflect on the transience and transformative power of time.
