Opening: Come Closer
The exhibition has been organized by the students of the workshop “Production and Project Management in Exhibitions - Practice”, Liudmilla Aneshenkova, Flora Frank, Djoana Gueorguieva, Hans Patrick Kjaer-Hansen, Artem Konevskikh, Andrea Kozuchova, Chien-Yu Lin, Tzu-Yu Lin, Buket Özalevli and Lou von der Heyde.
Come closer, for only in proximity do these realms reveal themselves.
What at first glance seems hushed and suspended in abstraction, unfolds in time, in nearness; waiting to be drawn out by attention. Through exploration, narratives emerge – minute details, intricate structures, shifts in scale, quiet revelations. Meaning surfaces in the silence, in the unnoticed, in the gaps between.
As artists become increasingly mobile, the works adapt – shifting toward smaller, more flexible formats that can exist beyond fixed locations and travel with ease. Though in some pieces, smallness is not merely a question of scale but a concept that extends into sustainability, shifting notions of value, bodily awareness, and mindfulness.
The works gathered in this group exhibition are grounded in observation, material sensitivity and time-intensive processes. Each work – whether carved, printed, or collected makes a case for attention as a practice. Some invite the visitor to peep, some to read, some to touch; all to come closer.
