Hidden Memories: Wentrup Gallery in Venice Explores the Screen as Threshold
At Wentrup Gallery's location in Venice, the exhibition titled 'Hidden Memories' highlights the paravent (folding screen) through the works of four artists: Gregor Hildebrandt, John McAllister, Claudia Wieser, and Thomas Grünfeld. Hildebrandt (born in Bad Homburg, 1974) features an impressive installation made of turquoise vinyl records, crafting a unique auditory and visual experience. McAllister (born in Slidell, 1973) presents a dynamic triptych that merges painting with sculpture. Wieser (born in Freilassing, 1973) adds a screen adorned with marbled patterns and collage, showcasing Bauhaus inspirations. Grünfeld (born in Opladen, 1956) offers 'Doggy,' a felt and wood screen that challenges traditional notions of functionality. The exhibition explores the screen as a surface, body, or threshold, echoing the concealed spaces of Venice.
