Florian Baudrexel

For his solo exhibition in the ground floor space at the Kunstverein, Florian Baudrexel (born 1968 in Munich, lives in Berlin) develops 2 different spatial concepts: a space of emptiness allowing only little possibility to grasp – speaking in terms of physical perception and phenomenal viewing -, and a space of abundance that moves towards its own centre and dissolves the distinction between space and its surrounding borders. An inside and an outside, emptiness and density, chill and supposedly warmth – a dialectics based on an emphasis on form. The exterior contains itself in seemingly unobtrusive forms whereas the interior puts itself centre-stage as sculpture. But this oppositional moment should not hide the fact that both have been carefully conceived to shape this opposition.

The exhibition is funded by Hamburgische Kulturstiftung.

The exhibition is part of Hamburger Architektur Sommer 2012.
