Between Memory and Present: Gregor Hildebrandt in Bochum
With Between A and w, Ruttkowski;68 in Bochum presents the first solo exhibition of Gregor Hildebrandt at this location. The exhibition opens a concentrated space for an art experience, where painting, sculpture, and installation merge into a dense exhibition atmosphere.
A Work Between Sound, Image, and Material
Gregor Hildebrandt has been working for years with analog storage media such as audio cassettes, magnetic tape, and vinyl. From these carriers, images and sculptural works emerge, which never deny their origin from music and pop culture yet transcend far beyond it. His art connects memory, time, and form into a poetic contemplation of works that sharpens the view of the seemingly everyday.
Poetic References, Clear Form
The exhibition, accompanied by curator Gregor Jansen, leads into a universe of allusions: between the poles of beginning and end, black and white, music history and art history. The exhibition text describes paintings made of magnetic tape or audio cassettes, vinyl sculptures, mosaics made from broken records, and presentations inspired by chess pieces. This creates a reduced yet sensual aesthetic with strong tactile presence.
Nouveau Réalisme in the Mirror of the Present
Hildebrandt's works can be read as a contemporary reflection of Nouveau Réalisme: the revolution of the everyday, translated into a precise, almost architectural visual language. The works bundle pop aesthetics, minimal strictness, and cultural education into an exhibition that does not present itself loudly but resonates with quiet intensity. This mixture of concentration and openness makes his artistic approach so convincing.
Place, Space, and Exhibition Experience
Ruttkowski;68 in Bochum considers itself a gallery with a broad view of contemporary art. The location at Schloßstraße 1A offers the perfect framework for a presentation that works with spatial effect and materiality. Those who engage with the exhibition experience art as a thoughtfully and sensually condensed encounter.
Conclusion: Between A and w promises a demanding exhibition visit full of visual tranquility, material tension, and clever references. Anyone interested in contemporary art, conceptual painting, and the connection between sound and image should experience this exhibition in Bochum live.
