Collectors Agenda is bringing together Brigitte Kowanz and Christoph Weber in one exhibition for the first time. The encounter is based on the observation that both use a minimalist mode of expression that is strongly conceived in terms of materiality. In this dialogue, what separates the two positions becomes illuminating.

Christoph Weber’s limited, clearly defined forms meet Brigitte Kowanz’s oscillating lines, whose delimited “material” light expands in space and makes the surfaces of the sculptures with their cracks and smoothness perceptible in the first place. The “divided space” therefore does not allude to a division of space in the sense of separation, but is to be understood more as “shared space”. However, the artists do not only think of the measurable space, but beyond they allow a space of ideas to emerge. Anyone looking into Brigitte Kowanz’s mirrored cubes will gaze into infinity and find themselves confronted with a word. Those who walk around Christoph Weber’s sculptures will find possible associations through their haptic qualities, material properties and form solutions.

The unbounded work of art, which is only completed through the interaction of the audience, demands a resonance space in which it is processed and classified. In the exhibition Geteilter Raum (Divided Space), a paradoxical field of tension of opposites and similarities in terms of materials and concepts opens up, which is capable of filling this resonance space.
