Space Making
Hanne Borchgrevink, Robert Burnier, Miyoko Ito, Atta Kwami, Julia Rommel, Gerda Scheepers, Vivian Suter, Vegard VindenesSpace Making is an exhibition addressing depth and spatiality in painting. It features the work of eight artists, who span generations and bridge contemporary positions with historical context.
The modernist notion of painting as a medium of flatness and two-dimensionality has always also implied its ability to create a sense of space and depth. The artists presented here employ the language of painting as a vehicle for spatial construction: on canvas, in architecture, and as a conceptual tool.
