Empty Rooms The Beauty of Emptiness

28. February 2016 to 19. June 2016

A living space or a room can be a place that bears witness to how people have lived in it. Eleven international contemporary artists present their individual exploration of this multi-layered phenomenon. The photographers Ahland, Lützen, Søndergaard and Wrede as well as the painter Rothmund lend unusual, deserted found spaces pictorial dignity; they play with light and shade and search for traces of one-time use. Mackie and Matton, on the other hand, configure and stage new spaces with their objects. The reflection on time and light in space is also central to the video installations of Astala, Kruse Jensen, Veldhoen and Viola.
