November 11th – December 7th Opening reception Friday, November 11th, 18:30 – 20:30h, in collaboration with Loop Video Art Festival. The project Deferred space is a video-installation made up of closed circuits of webcams and screens. It explores the mediation of interconnected screens, reviewing the way in which individuals relate to their impulses, their own image and the experience of space. “When a machine works efficiently […] one only needs to concentrate on the benefits it generates and not its inner complexity. Thus, paradoxically, it happens that science and technology the more successful they become the more opaque they become” Bruno Latour

Opening reception Friday, September 9th, 18:30 – 20:30h, video performance by Ivy Ma 19h CET, live streamed from Mexico City Under•Line (Barcelona edition) is the 8th edition of this nomadic series by nProjekt. The project began in 2018 and exhibitions have travelled to Hagen, Tokyo, Rotterdam, Sydney and Trondheim, and of course its home city, Hong Kong. Under•Line is not only an exhibition series, but also an expedition to territories of different artistic creation, production and geographical locations. The project takes different forms responding to the available elements and evolving conditions from different occasions and cultures – from fine artworks, to virtual installations and streamed happenings, to performances and engagement activities, to artist-run spaces, artist residencies and art festivals. As participating artists explore their living and creative territories, it tests its limits, as well as the subtleties of inherent undercurrents.

Kallirroi Ioannidou Markus Jäntti-Tuominen Oscar Veyrunes Carolin Bernhofer 12.08 – 21.08.2022 Opening: Friday, 12.08.2022, 6-10pm To take reference, to offer, to deny. To play with references, to lay tracks or to solve traps. Four artistic positions gather around something that could be described as a sounding out of referencing, as a permanent locating in the change of being and world. The individual artistic positions do not correspond to each other in approach, materiality or narrative. Nevertheless, they create a multi-layered network of relationships and references, of mutual questioning and reinforcement. Ultimately, it is a dynamic that emerges from the compilation of these four positions. All artists live and work mainly in Berlin. Partly they are also active and at home in other European countries. The HilbertRaum as an open space, expecting the unexpected, is ideal to give this dynamic and the resulting exhibition Vague a new home. A general reference can arise through materiality, given locality, or familiar narratives. Things picked up from the street and other found objects enable a transition from the outside to the inside, from the general to the particular. Lines also transition, from one thing to another, from black to white. Colors mix […]

Colors have their own symbolism in cultures, religions, politics, and history. Black and white are, strictly speaking, not colors. However, light and dark play a major role in art and design and have various symbolic meanings. Colors are wavelengths reflected by objects to the human eye. White is pure light and black is the absence of light. One of the reasons we are attracted to black is indeed its dichotomies. It is sophisticated and primitive, emotional and intellectual, it is a color that everyone responds strongly to, in one way or another. To further explore this characteristic of the color black — the fact that no two black colors are alike — Reinhardt said, “There is a black which is old and a black which is fresh. Lustrous black and dull black, black in sunlight and black in shadow.” In 2016, the Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor provoked the fury of artists by securing the exclusive rights to use the blackest black color, known as Vantablack. Kapoor has been experimenting with the “super black” paint since 2014 and recently announced he will unveil a series of his first Vantablack sculptures during the Venice Biennale. Liberal and the radical idea of […]
