Eröffnung: Embracing the Fold. Kinke Kooi und Roland Schimmel

In the organizer's words:

With a spatial concept by Astrid Kajsa Nylander and Pål Rodenius

Kinke Kooi and Roland Schimmel's studios have been located next to each other for almost 40 years. Despite their longstanding partnership and shared living and working space, they have not yet exhibited together. This may come as a surprise, as many of their artistic approaches, their visual worlds and perspectives are close to each other, complement or depend on each other, turn into each other, emerge from each other and, as they themselves describe it, were created in close harmony with each other.

In the Temporary Gallery, they are now coming together for the first time in a joint exhibition. This includes paintings, drawings, computer animations and collages from the last decades to the present day, as well as a new mural conceived for the space.

Artist Astrid Kajsa Nylander and exhibition designer Pål Rodenius have collaborated on a furniture and spatial concept that weaves the threads between the works even more closely, opening up the space and inviting visitors to spend time and reflect.
