Time and space cannot be thought of separately. In the eleventh edition of “miteinander gegenüber”, three works that deal with the relationship between temporal and spatial orders are placed in dialog. In her video work “Unfolding Places” (2004) from the Haubrok Collection, Haegue Yang (*1971) traces the timeless atmosphere of foreign places. Also from the Haubrok Collection are three metronomes that the artist Martin Creed (*1968) makes tick at different speeds. They make time acoustically tangible, while Kanako Hayashi (*1981) makes passing time visible in her video work “The Daughter of Time” (2012) from the Kunsthalle’s collection by unwinding a wool thread.

The exhibition is organized in cooperation with the haubrok foundation.

The exhibition series is produced in cooperation with the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 1288 “Practices of Comparison. Arranging and Changing the World” at Bielefeld University.

Face to Face
and Side by Side

The series “face to face and side by side” focuses on a work from the collection of Kunsthalle Bielefeld that addresses central issues in juxtaposition with a selected external work. The focus is always on a concentrated comparison of the selected works.
