Thomas Schulte

At Galerie Thomas Schulte, Franka Hörnschemeyer presents her walk-in sculptural installation Blindtext (2009), alongside a selection of drawings in the gallery’s Corner Space. Composed of aluminum honeycomb panels on top of a raised platform, the labyrinthine structure takes the form of a hexagon. Echoed by the gallery’s exterior architecture, its presence is foregrounded as a space within a space. The tall display windows and the work’s vertical, reflective metal panels interact with one another, with viewers, and with passersby on the street outside – in an oscillation between obstructed views and moments of seeing through different structural layers. Within this system of relations, spaces are opened up in between, offering an experiential engagement with how our built environment is shaped and the ways that it, in turn, shapes us.

Opening Friday, 22 November
7 to 9 PM
