Info: Since 2019, the School of Sculpture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, under the leadership of artist Simon Dybbroe Møller, have examined the relationship between the weightiness of things and the flat logics of the photographic image by looking at the world through specific case studies. Their prism for the last academic year was the Museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach. Designed by Hans Hollein, this labyrinthine structure, entirely embedded in and protruding from its location, with its montage-like combinations of materials that frame its post WWII contents is an icon of postmodern museum architecture. To aid in this investigation, the artist Manuel Graf, himself invested in the space between digits and mud, conducted several workshops and seminars with the students analysing the ways that photography has profoundly influenced its seeming antithesis: sculpture. Contemporary art is dependent on documentation to prove that something did indeed take place in a specific place and time. More than simply replacing the need for art to faithfully represent, photography has radically changed how art is conceived, made, and apprehended. (…) Opening Hours: Saturdays from 2 pm to 6 pm.
