Annette Senneby: Attic at Kunstverein Braunschweig

With Attic, Kunstverein Braunschweig opens the first institutional solo exhibition by Annette Senneby in Germany. The exhibition leads into an artistic practice where painting and sculpture do not oppose each other but shift into one another. Pigment, material, and physical forces create an exhibition experience between condensation, flowing, and dissolution.

A space that makes thinking visible

On the upper floor of Villa Salve Hospes, an art experience unfolds that regards the pictorial space as a starting point. Senneby's works do not open closed compositions but spatial situations where gravity, movement, and boundary drawing are constantly renegotiated. This creates a quiet yet intense exhibition atmosphere that intertwines artwork reflection and perception.

Painting as material, sculpture as process

The artistic handwriting navigates in the tension field between painting and sculpture. It is not the smooth surface that is at the center but the process: color bodies, interventions, and site-specific interventions turn images into spatial events. The aesthetic experience of this exhibition lies precisely in this: It shows how contemporary art connects physical presence and mental openness.

Art historical context and curatorial strength

Curated by Emily Fahlén in dialogue with Cathrin Mayer, the presentation aligns with the distinctive programming of Kunstverein Braunschweig, which has been a place for current contemporary art, mediation, and artistic production since 1832. Senneby's first institutional solo exhibition in Germany thus receives a clear framework: a historically sensitive yet contemporary inquiry into images, space, and materiality.

Education, tours, and cultural education

Kunstverein Braunschweig accompanies the exhibition with a diverse mediation program. This includes a talk with the artist, a children's tour, a director's tour, as well as further events around the opening. For visitors, this creates not just an exhibition visit, but a lively access to art history, curation, and museum education.

What visitors can expect

Attic promises a concentrated encounter with a position that thoughtfully considers material, space, and perception. Those seeking contemporary art that impacts deeply rather than loudly will find an exhibition of great clarity and poetic tension here. A visit is definitely worthwhile live in Braunschweig.
