The cleaned KloHäuschen – space as/without an object

at KloHäuschen before the exhibition’s installation

For the 4th KloHäuschen Biennial the Munich based architect Matthias Castorph transforms Das KloHäuschen into an exhibition space – referring to Brian O’Doherty’s book „Inside the White Cube“ (Berkely, Los Angeles, London 1986).

Looking for connections to Piet M.’s „Salon de Madame B.“ and relying on its inner structure – the grid. Hygienic aesthetics „inside the white cube“. Reminiscence of meaning through spatial volume – an attempt at volumetry without meaning. A piece of space – space generated by culling and cutting off (…)“.
