This information on SCORES is provided as per the required character count and has been edited by Edoardo Bonaspetti, Stefano Cernuschi and Ghislaine Leung. Details are correct as of December 8, 2021 and are subject to change dependent on requirements and resources available.

 

ARCHES, 2021
SCORE: A white inflatable welcome arch in all available rooms.
“Arches consists of an inflatable arch placed in each exhibition room made available to the artist.The arches were produced according to order in Germany and have the same color, size and design. They each occupy a distinct exhibition space that was available for use at the time of set up for the project. Due to their size and design, they are powered by an electric generator that is plugged in and are turned on only during visiting hours.” “The works constitute markings, forcing us to reconsider what constitutes an exhibition space and what are the reasons for such a designation of spaces inside the institution. As the exhibition proceeds Arches will lose their original firmness. Their life is in a literal sense dependent on the institution.” Text by Haris Giannouras for Ghislaine Leung, Portraits, Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach, Germany, June 3 – November 21, 2021.

 

GATES, 2019
SCORE: All thresholds to be gated with child safety gates.
“Gates, similarly confrontational, makes spatial circulation and questions of accessibility apparent and relatable. As the artist evokes the stratification of domestic space between adult and child, aesthetic space is perversely posited as a site as much heavily reliant on changing governance and dramaturgy (who are the bodies that are kept from entering these spaces, and what are they narrated as?).” Text by Kathrin Bentele for The Making of Husbands: Christina Ramberg in Dialogue, KW, Berlin, September 14, 2019 – January 5, 2020.

 

SHROOMS, 2016
SCORE: All available electrical outlets filled with a mushroom night light and adapter.
“Shrooms highlights all unoccupied electrical sockets of the gallery through mushroom-shaped night- lights and adapters. A population to light up the vital and fertile components of the institutional body, they also add a touch of domestic mysticism or perhaps a moment of hazy, stoned psychedelia to
the default format of aesthetic space, pointing to the brinks of what rules govern it as opposed to others.” Text by Kathrin Bentele for The Making of Husbands: Christina Ramberg in Dialogue, KW, Berlin, September 14, 2019 – January 5, 2020.

 

VIOLETS 3, 2019
SCORE: All exhibition partners to provide a minimum of one object for display.
