Interhorizontal Nexus III (Kiev 3), 2010ink, oilstick, graphite on paper101 1/2 x 81 7/8 in (258 x 208 cm)The series of seven drawings entitled Interhorizontal Nexus I to VII (Kiev 1-7) (2010) represents a complex configuration of themes that Voigt has developed in single works, studies and series...The series of seven drawings entitled Interhorizontal Nexus I to VII (Kiev 1-7) (2010) represents a complex configuration of themes that Voigt has developed in single works, studies and series since 2008: Position, Geographical Direction, Melody, Caesura, External Center, Rotation, Territory, Center, Oil, Water, Construction, Deconstruction, Countup, Airport, Continental Border, Vortex, Loop, Boeing 747, Speed (o km/h-max km/h), Duration of Event (in seconds), Direction N, Direction of Movement, Repetition per Day, and Grammar. Using a method similar to the one she used in the eleven-part series STATE/Random I to XI (2008), Voigt collects together the widest range of elements, which progress rhythmically over the sheet of paper in a complex composition. This dynamic character is intensified by Voigt's performative working method. The artist draws on oversized paper, deploying her whole body in the process. Despite her strict, systematic approach, she also allows for spontaneous gestures to reoccur throughout the drawing process.
The main element of the Nexus series is the notation of the "Horizon," which stands out because of its coloring. As reference points for every type of visual perception, the horizon lines may be read as perceptual studies: "The trace of movement may adopt any kind of line, ranging from standstill to pirouette, that a moving body can complete in space...Because light includes all colors, in theory every color is possible." In this way, a spectrum of color possibilities emerges within every drawing, a spectrum that can be continued indefinitely.Exhibitions
