Tobias Kaspar’s “The Estate / Autumn”

The exhibition space turns into an architectural maze without walls, turning its focus on de-acquisition. The collection contains furniture from the summer house and new works realized on site during the SUMMER edition exhibition – here they have been placed inside of a dystopic installation, endowing the collection with a slightly grotesque background. Looking at the displayed artworks, it becomes clear that the collection or taste of our “collector” is far from what one would call “blue chip”, that is, a collection in which “signature style” and key works” prevail; instead, it contains many by-products and leftovers. Smaller, earlier works provide an image of a rather dirty but engaged collection, one in which the artworks form part of what could be described as a “conversation piece”, to quote both the eponymous 18th-century English portraiture style and the 1974 Luchino Visconti film.
