16 December 2023 ‒ 4 February 2024: Exhibition
Tuesday ‒ Saturday, 2 ‒ 6 pm; Sunday and holidays, 10 am ‒ 6 pm
The light installation in the garden can be seen on the opening days until 10 pm.
The title of the exhibition references a light art installation recently created by Hartung | Trenz for the Art Forum's sculpture garden. The gallery will also be showing two other installations by the artist duo as well as photographs and videos of earlier projects.
The light installation LEAVE draws directly on the location and season of its presentation at the Schafhof at the turn of the year. Like autumn leavey, thickly packed and layered in some parts, loosely scattered in others, acarpet of text consisting of thousands of words, syllables, morphemes, acronyms and interjections, each one no longer than three letters, covers parts of the facade of the Kunstforum, the parklike premises, and the trees and bushes, already devoid of leaves.
The lush but bare vegetation of the garden evokes the remnants of a complex, previously perfect text. The viewers' personal associative reading generates new texts and meanings in this walkable natural and cultural space.
