In doing so, seminal positions from the 1970s and 1980s are brought into dialogue with contemporary developments. The works on view by Channa Horwitz, Hanne Darboven, Charlotte Posenenske, Sylvie Fleury, and Rosemarie Trockel exemplify a conceptual engagement with structure through serial systems, time-based orders, and a critical reflection on cultural and material codes. Their practices have had a lasting impact on the understanding of structure as both an intellectual and a social principle. Younger artists such as Ruscha Voormann, Hannah Sophie Dunkelberg, Sophie-Luise Passow, Judith Fegerl, and Carola Dertnig further develop these approaches, exploring surfaces, materials, and narrative constellations as open and fragile systems in which body, space, and image enter into dynamic relationships. The exhibition thus brings together works by ten artists from different generations who engage with fundamental questions of order, materiality, and perception. Serial and conceptual methodologies are given equal significance alongside corporeal and material-oriented processes as well as performative approaches.
