On the ocassion of Various Others 2024, Britta Rettberg presents a collaborative exhibition project by Lennart Lahuis and Paul Valentin in cooperation with Dürst Britt & Mayhew, The Hague.
In archaeology, past civilizations are studied based on their material remains. The carefully recovered artifacts are measured, mapped, and documented. This scientific approach aims to reconstruct a comprehensive picture of past civilizations and to understand how they contributed to the development of today’s society. However, challenges arise when excavated items cannot be easily classified and when the found objects seem to be out of place in time. In their first joint exhibition, “Solid Currents,” Dutch artist Lennart Lahuis and Munich-based artist Paul Valentin explore questions of temporality and examine the recontextualization of objects.
On show between September 6 and October 19, 2024.
