Annette Senneby: Attic at Kunstverein Braunschweig
With Attic, Kunstverein Braunschweig presents the first institutional solo exhibition of Annette Senneby in Germany from 27.06. to 27.09.2026. The presentation on the upper floor of Villa Salve Hospes offers a focused look at an artistic practice where painting and sculpture do not appear separately, but as a moving field of material, space, and perception.

An artistic experience between surface and space
Senneby's works unfold where image and object merge. Pigment, material, and physical forces create density, flow, and dissolution. This generates an exhibition atmosphere where gravity, boundary, and movement are not explained but become sensually experienceable. The contemplation of the works demands closeness: color here does not act decoratively, but as a carrier of tension and spatial energy.

Art historical perspective on an open visual language
Annette Senneby, born in 1951 in Gothenburg and living and working in Stockholm, combines a long-standing artistic practice with a clear interest in expanding the painting into space. According to the curator Emily Fahlén, in dialogue with Cathrin Mayer, this attitude is precisely readable in Braunschweig: The image appears as a spatial starting point, not as a conclusion. Thus, the exhibition fits into current debates about installation, site-specific intervention, and the materiality of contemporary art.

Why the visit is worthwhile
Particularly appealing is the quiet intensity of this project. Those who engage in the artistic experience encounter an exhibition that works with reduction and derives its strength precisely from that. The result is not a loud staging but a precisely choreographed encounter with contemporary art, space, and perception. Children's tours, artists' discussions, and director's tours complement the program and open access to in-depth cultural education.

Conclusion: Attic invites an aesthetic experience that connects painting, sculpture, and spatial thinking in an extraordinarily concentrated way. Those seeking contemporary art with intellectual depth and sensual presence should definitely experience this exhibition live in Braunschweig.
