In autumn 2015 the exhibition Scheinbar Abstrakte Kunst (Seemingly Abstract Art) by KP Brehmer was shown in the very building in which he himself had co-founded a producers gallery almost thirty years earlier (now long closed). The show took place during a refurbishment of the building in a two-week gap between the gutting of the spaces and their restoration.
As a construction site is not necessarily an ideal habitat for paintings, we installed a quasi sterile backdrop behind and under each of the paintings. These surfaces on the floor and walls joined into virtual spaces around each of the paintings, three-dimensional passe-partouts carved out of the raw site around them: seemingly abstract and generic, but actually tailored precisely to the different wall and floor conditions.
