And To Make You Toe The Line
2 June - 29 July 2012
Seen in a long shot, the exhibition space has a precise structure: The green floor, the white walls and the brown wooden ceiling create a clear triad. But the further we step into the room, the more our contemplative viewing is intensified by the circulating air, the noise of the train station’s daily routines and the movement of the trains.
For his installation And To Make You Toe The Line at the Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof, in the former waiting room for first and second class travellers, Adrian Lohmüller establishes an extensive, artificial space that is both open and refers to its own limits. We are reminded of parks laid out in urban space as consciously constructed and geometrically structured open spaces.
And To Make You Toe The Line signifies the imperative of moving along a line, or stepping up to it. As such, it means being directed down a certain path and adapting oneself.
