Gregor Hildebrandt in Bochum: Between Memory, Material and Silent Music
With Between A and w, Ruttkowski;68 in Bochum is presenting the first solo exhibition of Gregor Hildebrandt in this space. The exhibition connects the poetic logic of beginning and end, of black and white, with that unmistakable visual language for which the Berlin artist has been known for years: works made from magnetic tape, audio cassettes, and vinyl, in which sound becomes visible, time tangible, and memory almost physical. The exhibition runs in Bochum from June 3 to August 9, 2026; the date on June 20, 2026, at 14:00 refers to a particularly accessible visiting time.

An Art Experience Between Surface and Resonance
Hildebrandt's works thrive on the tension between material presence and inner movement. From sound carriers, painting, sculpture, and installation emerge; from stored music, a quiet but highly condensed aesthetic experience is created. His practice draws on minimalism, abstraction, and conceptual strategies while also opening a space for personal and cultural memory. Especially in Bochum, this method unfolds a special exhibition atmosphere: the works appear as precisely set ciphers of a present that has not yet escaped its analog past.

Material as Memory, Form as Narrative
Gregor Hildebrandt works with the traces of music, film, and everyday life. Cassette tapes, vinyl records, and other analog storage media become image carriers, whose surfaces oscillate between rhythm and tranquility, gesture and order, pop and art history. In this exhibition, it becomes particularly evident how consistently the artist rethinks the relationship between work and perception: not the loud event is at the center, but the quiet shift, the afterimage, the inner movement when viewing. His works invite contemplation, which unfolds through materiality, light effects, and spatial feelings.
