Nosbaum Reding
Presentation of the gallery
Nosbaum Reding gallery was founded in 2001 by Véronique Nosbaum and Alex Reding. Located in the historic centre of Luxembourg, it operates two separate yet adjacent exhibition spaces which allow for simultaneous presentations. Since its inception the gallery has been focussing on young artists from Luxembourg and neighbouring countries, shown alongside internationally established artists. With a strong emphasis on figurative and conceptual painting, its programme of exhibitions embraces a wide range of artistic practices including video, photography, sculpture- and installation-based media. Nosbaum Reding has always been keen to promote emerging artists by producing new work for their exhibitions and supporting them in their exploration of new ideas and concepts. Working from a strong local and regional base, the gallery continuously expands its reach by participating regularly in Europe's main art fairs and frequently collaborates with renowned galleries and museums.
Nosbaum Reding Projects (since 2014) is a programme of exhibitions showcasing young emerging artists from around the world.

Drawing – “„Autonomie der Linie“
The series of works on paper of David Schmitz carries the programmatic title:
“Autonomy of the Line”
Here, the line itself becomes a thinking subject.
It is not a means to an end, but an actor:
independent, attentive, free.
The drawings are direct protocols of inner movement.
They make perception visible before it becomes form.
No illustration, no narrative — but a visual state, an instantaneous thinking articulated through lines, frictions, and precise gestures.
These works form the origin of the entire practice:
micro-archaeological fields in which sensitivity, intuition, and reflection are inscribed directly.
