Press Release
The exhibition at the Fridericianum features new works, some developed especially for Kassel, which are complemented by site-specifically staged older works. It promotes a heightened awareness of the dualities that are so pivotal for Auerbach. Alluding to the Fridericianum’s architectural symmetry, the show juxtaposes works that have different relationships to one another – in the northwestern wing through the common reference to “particles,” in the southeastern wing through a shared allusion to “waves”. On closer inspection, however, the works also display links to each other’s properties, an allusion to quantum physics. The artist uses such phenomena, to facilitate new perspectives on our world and its nature.
