About the exhibition:
Between February 18, 2022, and February 18, 2024, the group exhibition Something New, Something Old, Something Desired takes place in the Hamburger Kunsthalle, Germany. The exhibition places the Kunsthalle’s important collection of contemporary art in an exciting dialogue with recent acquisitions of the latest works. The themes that come to the fore spotlight the urgent issues of our day: questions of understanding and communication, isolation and marginalisation, power and protest, utopia and structure. At the same time, the show explores (virtual) worlds and realities on the basis of architectural designs while addressing the tension between form and dissolution and focusing attention on the potential for interconnecting material and language. Vandenberg is represented by five works spanning the years 2000-2005.
