When Sound Meets Collection: Alexander Tillegreen at the Kunsthalle Mannheim
With Pieces for Works, the Kunsthalle Mannheim opens an unusually poetic dialogue between contemporary sound art and the works of the museum collection. The Danish artist and composer Alexander Brix Tillegreen, born in 1991 in Taarbæk, combines space, architecture, and perception into an art experience that can not only be seen but also physically experienced.
Sound Installations as Aesthetic Experience
Tillegreen has developed ten new sound works for the exhibition that respond to selected works from the collection. Sculptures, works on paper, and paintings are not viewed in isolation but are placed into a multifaceted interplay of sound, silence, and resonance. The exhibition unfolds its impact through listening as well as seeing and sharpens the perception of materiality, rhythm, and spatial effect.
A Museum as a Resonance Space
The Kunsthalle Mannheim is one of the early citizen collections of modernity, combining historical holdings with contemporary art. In this context, Tillegreen's project gains special strength: sound meets architecture, curatorial order meets artistic intervention, collection meets contemporary art. This creates an exhibition that does not explain art-historical references but makes them audible and experienceable.
Between Collection and Composition
The reference works include pieces by Auguste Rodin, Rosemarie Trockel, László Moholy-Nagy, Anna Mahler, Francis Bacon, Edvard Munch, Isa Genzken, Édouard Vuillard, and Louise Nevelson. This selection spans a wide arc from modernity to the present day and opens a concentrated examination of works where formal tension, iconic handwriting, and historical depths intersect. Tillegreen focuses not on illustration but on a compositional dialogue.
For Whom the Visit is Especially Worthwhile
Those interested in media art, sound installation, curation, and museum education will find an exhibition with high intellectual and sensual density. Also, for visitors who want to experience the collection of the Kunsthalle Mannheim anew, this project offers a fresh approach: the familiar appears in a changed perception, and art history becomes an acoustic experience space.
Conclusion
Pieces for Works is an exhibition for all who want to experience art not just visually but as a space of vibration, memory, and presence. Alexander Tillegreen transforms the Kunsthalle Mannheim into a place of intense perception. A visit promises an aesthetic experience that is both intellectually stimulating and moving.
