For several years now, artists Christel Dillbohner and Susanne Schossig have maintained a dialogue about their work-sharing a curiosity about path- not goal-oriented process; about individual perception as it relates to artistic creation; about infinite rather than finite textures and topologies; about perceived abundance and emptiness.

In 2009 Schossig and Dillbohner created a joint installation at the Hafen Museum in Bremen, Germany. Now, in San Francisco, they are mounting an exhibition at Don Soker Gallery, which last year relocated to a 10, 300 square-foot light-flooded space on the 14th floor of 100 Montgomery. The artists will work with this site, amplifying its spatial rhythms, choreographing an interaction of space and artwork, artist and visitor; continuing the conversation about path, process, perception, the finite and infinite, abundance and emptiness.

Dillbohner and Schossig will begin work two weeks before the opening of the exhibition, re-envisioning the vast Soker Gallery space with strategic placements of translucent paper columns in combination with new works on paper and canvas. Through a pairing of artistic visions-- listening to the space, tracking light and shadow, coming to an understanding of the space and their work as one, anticipating the presence of the viewer/participant-- Schossig and Dillbohner will effectively transform the gallery space, their artwork, and perhaps the viewer.
