Bieten wir jemandem die Stirn, zeigen wir Entschlossenheit. Wir präsentieren eine Schauseite, hinter der sich das Eigentliche verbirgt. Wir machen Fassade. Das lateinische Wort facies mit der Bedeutung Angesicht scheint bis heute durch dieses Wort hindurch, ebenso unterliegt es dem französischen en face und dem englischen face to face. Marina Schulzes Gemälde „Ohne Titel (GA VI)“, 2011, ist ein bemerkenswertes Selbstporträt, das über diese Dinge nachdenken lässt. ...

Heiner Scheepers
Blow up
Enlargement is one of the fundamental principles of Marina Schulze’s paintings, therefore BLOW UP is a logical title for a catalogue of a collection of her work done over the last five years. Not navel gazing, but an overview of the complex works in which, at first glance, nothing uniform is suggested. Nevertheless, a veritable, very hairy navel is to be seen.

On Marina Schulzes room paintings
Around 1413 in Florence, a famous experiment took place, which is considered to be origin of central-perspective.

A hole was drilled into the back of the picture through which the viewer could observe. The experiment set-up was as follows: in situ, one had to hold the picture directly in front of the baptistry so that the actual and painted view covered one another and place a mirror in front of the picture with the other hand. ...

Ingmar Lähnemann
Painted Room
A room which was built in a room in order to disappear artistically within the room and yet to represent this room – in area. This absurd description could be continued but is still an apt characterisation of Marina Schulze’s Painted Room.

She portrays the brick walls and the darkened windows.
