The exhibition had the goal of investigating the intersection between the fields of architecture, sculpture and models in recent contemporary art.
All seven of the artists chosen for the exhibition utilized architectural elements and matters in their work. This architecturally inspired art based of "real" models does not, however, resolve in functional architecture. Thus, the representation of apparently functional architectural elements as well as completely built, but unlivable living spaces in the exhibition appear to be artistic reflections on a new orientation of the perception of architecture and sculpture. | Archisculptures | | 10.11.2001 – 06.01.2002 | | Catalogue: | More Information | | sponsors: | Nord/LB, Land Niedersachsen, Werkheim e.V. |

Preis des Kunstvereins Hannover 1999-2001
Hannes Kater: Der Zeichnungsgenerator
Björn Melhus: PRIMETIME
The two winners of the Prize of the Kunstverein Hannover, Hannes Kater and Björn Melhus, showed their latest works und large-scale installations to coincide with the end of their stipendiums in the eight galleries in the Kunstverein. The artists, who both studied at the HBK in Braunschweig, developed an exhibition concept that took the spatial conditions of the galleries into consideration. The artists set up their works in alternating galleries, allowing each work not only to be viewed individually, but also as part of a affined dialogue with the work in the adjacent rooms.
During the past few years, Hannes Kater (born 1965) has developed a complex drawing and sign system. The starting point for his individual cosmologies are drawings and diagram-like interlacing lines. In the Kunstverein, he applied them directly onto the wall, presenting them with overhead projectors as well as on paper.
The video artist Björn Melhus (born 1966) filled four rooms with his filmed short stories. Images and sounds from television entertainment programs and newscasts, daily talk shows and religious programming as well as movies and pop music mixed visual and thematic elements together, offered commentaries on each other and served to form a complete whole.
The Prize of the Kunstverein Hannover, devoted to the advancement of especially talented artists, is awarded every two years to two artists from the State of Lower Saxony. It encompasses a studio in the Villa Minimo for two years free of charge as well as a monthly cash grant. The prize is made possible through the generous support of the Gundlach GmBH & Co. group in Hannover as well the Niedersächsische Lottostiftung (Lower Saxon Lotto Foundation) and the State of Lower Saxony.

31. March - 3rd. June 2001
Stephan Huber (* 1952), participant in the documenta 8 and Venice Biennale (1999), refers in most of his works to the context of his biographic and geographic origin.
Especially for the exhibition at the Kunstverein Hannover Stephan Huber has designed new, extensive works. The complete exhibition parcours seems to be a walk through a house or an apartment. The interior is a “psycho structure of rooms” (Huber), made of specially designed rooms with doors in different sizes, snow white models of the famous alpine mountains Aiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, photos, video installations, and a labyrinth of fictive maps. Huber intends with his work a synthesis between architecture, installation, and object. It deals with the place and identity of artist and art piece, of the relationship between inside and outside, between the self and the world.

On the staging of close ups and surfaces:
With the exhibition CLOSE UP, Dr. Stephan Berg, who assumed the direction of the Kunstverein Hannover on January 1, 2001, opened the program of activities for the year 2001. CLOSE UP was conceived as a joint exhibition project in association with the Kunstverein Freiburg and the Kunsthaus Baselland, and was modified especially for the architectural situation of the Kunstverein Hannover. At the center of the works by 24 international artists shown in the Kunstverein was the observation that artistic preparatory designs since the nineteen eighties are less concerned with the classical dialectic between surface and content, but rather with the textualization, visualization of the surface itself. As today's artists work more-and-more with visual practices stemming from the fields of film, design and advertisements, the surface has a new status. It becomes visible to the core and creates its own iconography, one that is not concerned with the contrast between being and appearance, between the packaging and the deeper meaning. The exhibition encompassing more than 80 works attempted to demonstrate ideas about the discovery of new artistic narrative possibilities relying on historical types without, however, being hierarchically chained to them.
