Durch den Winter
Paul Niedermayer
Exhibition
10. Apr – 11. Nov 2021
ongoing series
Already situated in the most awkward of all neighborhoods, the winter marks a season of intensified absence and abandonment for the physical site of the Klosterruine. For the next 6 months, the artist Paul Niedermayer will regularly visit the Klosterruine and explore what is there and what is not. Reminiscent of Steve McQueens video work “Giardini” from 2009, the series focuses on an exhibition space during the temporary suspension of its prescribed function, and thus serves to trouble our understanding of urban environments with the human, working agent at its imaginary center. „Durch den Winter mit Paul Niedermayer“ aims to complicate our perception of Klosterruine and reveal its messy nature aka as a site of chance encounters, neglect and troubled beauty.
