Rhizome as an Art Experience: Torben Laib Transforms Project Space K2 into a Sonic Nerve Network
With Rhizome, Torben Laib invites you to an exhibition at Project Space K2 of the General Consumers' Association e. V. that closely intertwines space, sound, and perception. The work responds to the unique architecture of the location and makes the exhibition atmosphere itself part of the installation. Admission is free.

A Space like a Thinking Organ
Project Space K2 possesses a distinctive presence: tall windows, visible pipework, and an echo that acoustically charges the space. It is precisely this specific situation that Torben Laib utilizes to develop a sound-light space installation in which the architecture behaves like a resonating body. The art space becomes a thinking space where lines, impulses, and connections overlap. ([konsumverein.de](https://www.konsumverein.de/?utm_source=openai))
Between Amygdala and Rhizome
The thematic tension between the Amygdala Complex and Rhizome opens up an art-historical and cultural-theoretical intriguing perspective. The image of the rhizome refers to entanglement, growth, and non-linear order; the amygdala, on the other hand, relates to emotional evaluation, decision, and perception. In this constellation, an installation arises that is not merely observed but physically experienced. The contemplation of the work becomes an aesthetic experience that connects sound, space, and imagination. ([konsumverein.de](https://www.konsumverein.de/?utm_source=openai))
The Exhibition Atmosphere at the General Consumers' Association
The General Consumers' Association is one of the prominent art venues in Braunschweig, showcasing art, sculptures, installations, pictures, performances, as well as music evenings, readings, and discussions. For this exhibition, Project Space opens up as an experimental field where raw architecture, sound, and lighting create a concentrated exhibition experience. Opening hours during the exhibition: Thursday and Friday 4 to 8 PM, Saturday and Sunday 2 to 6 PM. ([konsumverein.de](https://www.konsumverein.de/verein/))
Education and Visit
The General Consumers' Association sees itself as a place for contemporary art and cultural education. The program combines exhibition, education, and artistic production. This creates an art experience for visitors that showcases not just a single work but also considers the place, its history, and its acoustic conditions. The visit is particularly worthwhile for those who wish to experience installation, sound art, and contemporary art in space. ([konsumverein.de](https://www.konsumverein.de/verein/))
Conclusion: Rhizome is a precisely set exhibition about perception, entanglement, and spatial intensity. Those who appreciate sound art and installative contemporary art should experience this free presentation live in Braunschweig. ([konsumverein.de](https://www.konsumverein.de/?utm_source=openai))
