Exhibition summary

This exhibition features a site-specific installation by artist duo Gabriele Fulterer and Christine Scherrer in the museum's Kabinett space. The work centers on a suspended aluminum and steel cage, transformed through lighting and atmosphere into an abstract form that explores the boundary between painting and sculpture.

Curatorial context

In the Kabinett space, artists Gabriele Fulterer and Christine Scherrer have created an immersive environment, stripping the area of its usual access and windows to form a constrained, lightless chamber. Heavy wooden beams overhead further emphasize the gloomy, intense atmosphere of this space, which they transform into a setting for a singular sculptural intervention. At the center of this environment hangs a cage constructed from industrial aluminum and steel, held together with heavy-duty latches. Illuminated by ultraviolet light, the structure floats in a grey zone between sculpture and painting. Its fluorescent appearance gives the piece an abstract quality, as if it were a component of a 'darkroom ensemble,' challenging the viewer's perception of both the object and the surrounding space.
