Volksbank Halle Saale

From Halle into the world! My concept for the design of the staircase in the Volksbank Halle deals with the perception of places. with the perception of places. STEP BY STEP - step by step, the users of the staircase have new opportunities to travel up and down the stairs every day, to make spontaneous discoveries and to combine the chance encounters with the intense drawings in combination on paper and directly on the wall, as a source of inspiration. Travelling from floor to floor on foot to another country. Starting from the ground floor as the starting point of each journey forms drawings from the city of Halle. The journey then continues literally from floor to floor on a journey around the world. All the selected locations in Cuba, Armenia, Denmark and the Czech Republic are in relation to history with the city of Halle. As an artist I have realised projects in the countries and realised numerous drawings and sketches. For each floor I plan a collage of drawings in picture frames on the wall in combination with drawings directly on the wall. The complete staircase as an experiential space of the world.

Within the framework of a scholarship from the state of Saxony-Anhalt, Stefan Schwarzer lived and worked for three months at Hundisburg Castle. With a drawing board, chair, charcoal, pastel chalk, crayons and paper, he roams the extensive parks of the castle in search of interesting motifs for drawing. In a playful process between recognition, interpretation, improvisation, blurring, abstraction and new construction, an image of the respective location was created over hours. Over a period of three months, the historical landscape park was transformed page by page into a panorama of the artist's perception.

In October 2019 Stefan Schwarzer travelled by the Tharangambadi Scholarship of the Art Foundation of the State of Saxony-Anhalt and the Francke Foundations for a several-week research to South India. In Tharangambadi he went daily out with a plastic chair, drawing board, paper and colored pencils to draw houses from the inhabitants. While drawing, he also documented the surrounding soundscape with an audio recorder. After finish the drawing, Stefan Schwarzer asked the residents of the houses with the help of a local translator about their lives and the building.

An intense spiritual experience while drawing at a Hindu ceremony in the Sri Abhirami Temple in Thirukadaiyur was the starting point for the creation of a series of large-format abstract drawings. Stefan Schwarzer subsequently visited various Hindu temples in Tharangambadi, in order to transfer colours, forms and fragments in a process lasting several hours, as if in a trance, onto large-format paper with coloured pencils.

In October 2019, 300 years after Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg, Stefan Schwarzer set off on a search for traces of his life in southern India. Starting from the former places of the mission, the artist from Halle, like Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg once did, searched a dialogue with the people. In the interplay between his own daily experiences and "Hallesche Berichte" he build a dialogue with contemporary history. In the field of tension of this exchange between Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg, Stefan Schwarzer and the inhabitants of Tharangambadi, this book was created as an investigation of one's own perception and its transformation over the centuries into the present day.

Havana is a magic place with a unique architecture. Despite efforts to protect the old buildings from the tropical climate or personal conversions of the inhabitants there are almost daily house crashes in the city. To protect the buildings from their possible disappearance Stefan Schwarzer document them with intensive, colored pencil drawings on the street.

To explore the city Stefan Schwarzer walked for one week daily with a modified shopping cart trough the streets of Jyderup. With the noisy shopping cart he crossed the streets and made stops in front of buildings to draw them. During the documentation the public life took influence in the working process. Every drawing contains a history with spontaneous conversations with the people in Jyderup.

During his trip to Armenia, drawing in public space took center stage for Stefan Schwarzer. For several weeks he walked seemingly aimlessly through the public space of Yerevan, to document spontaneously his perceptions. As a result of this work, Stefan Schwarzer developed the 40-part series of colored pencil drawings »Yerevan to go«, in which the Armenian capital dissects into components and presented as composition recomposed to the viewer. Based on these drawings, in Yerevan, the artist developed for the exhibition a large-size colored pencil mural that he combined with drawings from the series »Yerevan to go«.

The concept for the art festival Begehungen Nr. 8 in a former prison in Chemnitz, was to create a fictional story with connection of the real place to the person Victor Zangief from the computer game Street Fighter II. Stefan Schwarzers intention was to give the observer various indications from the life of the fictional person Victor Zangief, through the creation of a complete prison cell with furniture, objects, drawings, diaries and letters. Each individual fragments in the prison cell was a reference to the past of the real place as secret police prision in the GDR and the real but fictitious figure from the computergame Victor Zangief.

These elements were arrenged in three video collages with the titles Fighter, Background and Word and Number. They Video sequences recall of puzzle pieces and became reassembled in every collage with different views. Three types of devices formed from the starting material, which are summarized in a Triptychon.

Over a period of 20 days Stefan Schwarzer made daily at least 10 drawings of fighters of the computer game Street Fighter II. The game was stopped at different positions and the frozen movements of the fighter were copied from the screen. By this concept the work Groggy emerged with 204 drawings.

Stefan Schwarzer copied the fighter - portraits from the computer game Street Fighter II Turbo - from the screen with quick gestures and sporadic views during the emerging drawing. The configuration of the single portraits are exactly similar to the template of the computer game menu.
