Breitseite - Im Fokus: Raum
Opening on 6 November 2011, 11 a.m.

The Breitseite – Im Fokus: Raum (Broadside – In focus: space) exhibition addresses artistic positions concerned with both the interior of space – especially exhibition spaces – and also the externals of spatial structure. The view of the exterior of a spatial structure and seeing the interior are driven by various artistic approaches. The rooms in the Villa Merkel are analysed, processed and changed. New forms of perception emerge, concrete and applied experience come to light.

Breitseite – Im Fokus: Raum features sculptures that create an individual spatial structure and transform the exhibition space itself.

Breitseite – Im Fokus: Raum features photographs that reinterpret spatial structures from the outside and explore the interior of a space.

The exhibition includes sculptures, installations and photographs by: Benjamin Appel, Martin Boyce, Ruth Hommelsheim, Daniel Robert Hunziker, Stefan Jeske, Nikolay Kazakov, Hans Georg Merkel, Claudio Moser, Peter Neusser, Eva Rothschild, Raïssa Venables, curator: Maria Wäsch
