Exhibition Dream State
Exhibition
„Who hasn’t woken from a dream in which they have longed to return?“
In our ‘Dream State’ exhibition at Kreuzberghof, we showed the atmospheric works of Australian artist Greg Wood in collaboration with the London based Gallery The Finch Project, which impressed with their unique visual language between reality and dream world.
In the backyard of a former farmhouse from the 1920s on Alte Landstraße, one is immersed in an oasis that one wouldn't expect to see from the street - a garden full of wildflowers that forms a contrast to the hustle and bustle of the neighbouring street. The new buildings, which are reminiscent of a barn typology, form a harmony of natural materials together with the garden. The flowers glow against the dark wooden façade which makes them shine all the more brightly.
While the artworks by Greg Wood are displayed inside together with design objects by Nidus, Carsten in der Elst and Obscure Objects, some people linger in the colourful Acapulco Chairs in the inner courtyard, which form a unity with the colourful garden.
Nidus Kreuzberghof
When you enter the Kreuzberghof, the smell of fresh coniferous wood immediately fills your nose and the cool clay tile floor ensures a pleasant indoor climate on this hot summer's day in August. Inside, people are swarming around, sitting on the furniture on display, lingering at the old country house table or wandering through the upper floors to take a look at Greg Wood's art or the building itself.
The pictures framed in different woods, which depict dream landscapes, form a harmonious whole with the architecture of the Kreuzberghof and the furniture by Nidus displayed there. The greywacke works by Carsten in der Elst interplay with the ungrouted clay bricks and the works by the design duo Obscure Objects contrast to the otherwise natural, earthy materials.
Over the weekend of the Dream State exhibition, the Kreuzberghof came to life for the first time.
