Gregor Hildebrandt: A Blink of an Eye and the Years are Behind Us – A Retrospective at Kunsthalle Praha

This exhibition showcases Gregor Hildebrandt's largest retrospective to date, spanning over 20 years of his artistic practice. Working primarily with analogue sound storage mediums, Hildebrandt creates sculptures, installations, and paintings that reference Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism, drawing inspiration from various cultural sources to evoke collective and personal memories.

Gregor Hildebrandt’s largest exhibition to date, 'A Blink of an Eye and the Years are Behind Us,' inaugurates a programme of solo exhibitions by major living artists at Kunsthalle Praha. The German artist is known for his distinctive use of analogue sound storage mediums, transforming materials such as vinyl records, audiotapes, and cassette shells into sculptures, installations, and paintings. His work draws formal references to Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism, while being deeply nourished by literary, cinematographic, musical, and architectural inspirations that trigger both collective and personal memories. The exhibition includes iconic works, lesser-known pieces, and site-specific installations, aiming to immerse visitors in Hildebrandt's universe. With a performative character, the spaces will host concerts and events, reflecting Hildebrandt's practice of collage and his facilitation of a broader artistic network through his 'Grzegorzki Shows' concept, which is also reproduced within the exhibition. Hildebrandt conceives his exhibitions like collages, creating enveloping environments where objects and architectural elements merge, drawing the viewer into his idiosyncratic world.
