Verseidag_U1

The collages in this book were pasted together on photographs the artist Karin Karrenberg had taken in two thousand and twelve in the large factory hall of the old foundry Diepenbrock and Reigers iron foundry (DRU) from the eighteenth century in Ulft in the Netherlands. She captured the traces of the past photographically. Pictures were created which, in the sense of Max Ernst's definition, create absurd, surreal pictorial situations. They pose Hieronymus-Bosch-like riddles or visualize thoughts or play on words. Many of the images have complex contents that could evoke ideas of plays or stage sets, or provide inspiration for a novel. The contents remain in the realm of allusions. The viewer gets involved in contingencies, double-meanings and indeterminacies.

Verseidag_U1

The artist Karin Karrenberg takes the motifs of her works of art from everyday life and transfers them into a sphere between pop art and surrealism that attracts attention. Strong colour, irritation of size and spatial references as well as naturalism characterise her oil painting. In addition, she is engaged in printmaking, collage, watercolour and photography. "Between pop and surreal" was the title of the exhibition in Düsseldorf City Hall, where Karin Karrenberg retrospectively presented excerpts from fifty years of her artistic activity in Düsseldorf. This monograph traces a special aspect of her art. More than 85 reproductions are accompanied by short texts by the artist in German, English and French. They provide an introduction to the various themes of her work. The brilliant colour reproduction and generous image size delight the beholder´s eye.

Verseidag_U1

After a long period of disuse, the silk factory in Krefeld, built by Mies van der Rohe and formerly known as "VerSeidAG", was being restored according to the principles of the Bauhaus and at the same time put to new use after two thousand. During a visit in two thousand and seventeen, the author and artist Karin Karrenberg captured this phase of conversion in pictures. The photographs in this book show pictures like independent painting or compositions as they could only be found in that place at that time. The special view accentuates individual aspects, such as graphic, contrast, play of strong colour or perfect constellation of randomly adjoining elements.

Dangast
The multi-coloured, vivid, Pop Art style serigraphs by Karin Karrenberg go back to an art event that took place in the small East Frisian village Dangast, situated at the Jadebusen gulf on the German North Sea coast, in 1975.
Over the whole weekend of the event Karin Karrenberg watched the sculptor Anatol, one of Josef Beuys' most skilful students, as he produced a sculpture, "Die Jade", and she took documentary photos. "Die Jade" was named after the small inflow of the North Sea in Lower Saxony and was later positioned in the mud-flats of the bay before Dangast. The book makes us experience how Karin Karrenberg produced the serigraphs from her photos and at the same time easily introduces us into the technique of screen printing.

Roule Tour
The humorous collages by Karin Karrenberg in this book were created at the foot of the Mont Ventoux. The cycling race of the "Tour de France" often fell into the period of her summer stay in Vaucluse. Around this sporting event she created individual funny postcards with everything that was in some way funny, witty, colourful, typical, stereotyped, contradictory or in other ways useful to convey an amusing picture of her stay at the Ventoux and flat enough to be sticked on a piece of paper and dropped into a postbox.

Olde Hut 2
In this book Karin Karrenberg goes exploring on the factory grounds around the old foundry “Olde Hut“ in Ulft in the Netherlands. During the years of transformation of the factory grounds into a building complex that meets contemporary requirements she found interesting views and subjects, which reflect the encounter of historical construction and modern design and material. Her special view on architecture creates unusual, but harmonious compositions that often surprise the observer.

Olde Hut 1
In this book the Fine Art teacher Karin Karrenberg goes exploring in the old foundry “Olde Hut“ in Ulft in the Netherlands. She finds and takes photos of details from an age in which technology was still something visible. The colour photos, which are shown in full format and technically unchanged, reflect her specific view on the things. Through nearness and the special angle of view she creates unique pictures that sometimes have an abstract or surreal character. They all appear in a very individual range of bright and cheerful colors.
