„Das Quadrat muss den Raum beherrschen!“ Aurélie Nemours und Zeitgenossen

In the organizer's words:

The square is at the center of concrete art. In contrast to other geometric shapes such as the circle, it does not refer to recognizable objects in nature, but is a pure construction of four equal sides and four equal angles. Its simplicity, clarity and tranquillity make the square as timeless as it is fascinating.
The French painter Aurélie Nemours (1910-2005) came to the conclusion while working on her major work Le long chemin for the Wandel-Hallen in Reutlingen in 1989: "The square must dominate the room!"
Now you might ask: hasn't it already been doing so for a long time? After all, squares are everywhere in our everyday world: squares, floors and walls are paved or tiled in squares, entire cities are laid out in grids and the square meter is the basic measure for measuring an area. We see squares with rounded corners every day in traffic and information signs, in countless logos and app icons, in tiled walls on Instagram and in QR codes. We also often imagine the pixel as the smallest digital element of an image as a square.
