Archives & Orbits
26.04. - 07.06.2025
Opening on April 26, from 3 p.m. The exhibition will be on view from April 26 to June 6, 2025.

Both Archives and Orbits hold fragments of knowledge, history, and the unseen forces that shape them. Just as a piece of rock can be a simple object or something more profound, the artist's studio often documents personal archives that form an intricate topography of lived experiences and material explorations. These are never fixed but spin a delicate dance where information and interpretation trace elliptical paths through time. What distinguishes an archive from a simple collection of things is the deliberate act of selection, arrangement, and preservation—the way we inscribe and map a constellation of things, ideas and forms before they fade. An archive is often a site where meaning is continually reinterpreted, dynamic yet haunted by what it does not contain. Not only a record of the past but also a tool for the future.


This exhibition brings together five artists who reflect very differently on ideas of order, preservation, memory and time. Through painting, sculpture and photographic works, this group exhibition shows that we are both archivists and archives, moving in perpetual orbits, arranging fragments of experience, leaving deliberate traces and erasing others.
