Hans Schabus
Secession
"The exhibition project by Hans Schabus at the Secession comprises several elements that treat the possibilities arising from various perspectives of "empty space" as sculptural material." - also see DmGaps
"Inside, Schabus blocks the entrance to the exhibition space with a wall, with unplastered traces of work showing in the entrance space, whereas the other side is invisible as part of the wall of the building. The only entrance to the main room that is available to visitors is a tunnel leading through the branching cellar and side rooms of the Secession. In the main room, Schabus has built a true-to-scale model of his atelier out of cardboard and squared timbers. It is not until one leaves the windowless installation that the construction and positioning of the "atelier" become apparent to the gaze from the outside."
