Discover Robert Irwin's "Double Blind": A Site-Conditioned Installation at Secession

The Secession presents 'Double Blind', a new installation by American artist Robert Irwin that responds to the specific conditions of the gallery space. This site-conditioned work engages with Irwin's ongoing exploration of perception, reality, and illusion through light and form.

The Secession's main room hosts 'Double Blind,' a significant installation by American artist Robert Irwin, a pioneer of the Californian 'Light and Space' movement. This work is 'site-conditioned,' meaning it derives its appearance and meaning intrinsically from the specific environment it occupies, in this case, the gallery's unique spatial characteristics. Irwin's practice consistently questions our perception of reality, utilizing materials like translucent fabrics, reflective surfaces, and light itself to create experiences that are both subtle and profound. 'Double Blind' is composed of 30 floor-to-ceiling frames covered in translucent fabric, meticulously arranged to follow the gallery's inherent grid structure, forming three distinct volumes. The installation's appearance dynamically shifts based on the viewer's position, the angle of light, and its intensity, blurring the lines between the artwork, the space, and the external environment. The open door to the garden further integrates the outside world, both visually and acoustically, reinforcing Irwin's concept of art that transcends traditional boundaries and engages directly with phenomena.

The page mentions 'tickets' with a link to an external ticketing platform, suggesting that admission may require a ticket, though specific pricing or booking details are not provided directly on this exhibition page. Visitors are directed to the 'Informationen & Tickets' section for further details, which is not available in the provided content. The general opening hours are di-so / 10-18 uhr, and 'heute geöffnet' indicates it is currently open during those hours, assuming the exhibition is active at the time of viewing this page's context on page load, which is not the case here as it's an archived exhibition. The provided text does not offer clear, current ticketing information for this specific exhibition as it is from 2013, but implies a ticketing process exists through the link and mention of 'Informationen & Tickets'. Given the exhibition date, specific ticketing information is not relevant for current visitor use but indicates a past ticketing policy existed and was linked from the page. I will leave this field empty as it is an archival exhibition and current ticketing info is not provided or relevant, and historical details are too fragmented to be useful in a visitor-facing context of today. The 'tickets' link leads to a general ticketing page for the Secession and not specific to this past exhibition, making the 'ticketsInfo' field inappropriate for an archival exhibition. Therefore, it will be an empty string.
