A grid promises order. Maria Schumacher Is interested in what happens when this order stumbles. in Clumsy codes Digital image logic meets painted surface. The title captures this beautifully: a system that allows itself its awkwardness.

Pixels, mosaics and cross-stitch are closer together than they initially sound. All of them combine an image from individual units. Schumacher combines such structures with collage, image transfer and painting. The artist, born in Bucharest and living in Leipzig, thus also examines how signs take on and change meaning.

A poster wall extends the exhibition to include the question of the original. When images are repeated, transferred and reworked, their origin is hardly ever cleanly pinned down anymore. When viewing, it is worthwhile to look at small deviations: Where is the hand visible, where does a technical regularity assert itself? The code is welcome to be hooked once. It is precisely there that the image becomes interesting.
