Shifting Continuities: Christoph Dahlhausen & David Thomas, Heide Museum of Modern Art, Bulleen/Melbourne, Australia

Christoph Dahlhausen, Study for intervention, 2010

July 31 – October 31, 2010

Curator: Lesley Harding

This project by Christoph Dahlhausen (Germany) and David Thomas (Australia), their second collaboration, takes the form of a series of minimalist and subtle interventions in the transitory spaces and often overlooked zones at Heide.

Employing a range of materials—paint, mirror, reflective metals, vinyl, colour and light—within the site and architecture of the Museum, the artists encourage active looking and engagement and connect experiences of the exterior and interior, nature and culture, macro and micro. They also pose questions about how perception is affected by time, space, light, movement and materiality.
