When sound transforms the museum space
With Pieces for Works, the Kunsthalle Mannheim presents an extraordinary art experience by the Danish artist and composer Alexander Brix Tillegreen. Site-specific sound installations enter into a concentrated dialogue with selected works from the museum collection, opening new paths between seeing, hearing, and spatial perception.
An exhibition between image and sound
Tillegreen's artistic practice moves between painting, printmaking, sculpture, light, video, composition, and sound installation. In Mannheim, the exhibition space becomes a resonating body: Acoustic interventions respond to artworks, architecture, and the movements of the audience. This creates an exhibition atmosphere where visual forms and sonic structures expand each other.
Alexander Tillegreen and the art of perception
Alexander Brix Tillegreen, born in 1991 in Denmark, studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main, at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York, as well as art history, musicology, and sound studies at the University of Copenhagen. At the center of his work are psychoacoustic phenomena, language, voice, and the question of how perception generates meaning. He is particularly concerned with the phantom word illusion, where listeners seemingly recognize words in sounds that are not acoustically present.
Collection as a resonance space
Pieces for Works connects contemporary art with art-historical depth. Sound works like Across Cabinets, Nested, and Around Corners were developed in dialogue with selected works from the Kunsthalle collection. Thus, sculpture, painting, installation, and composition meet in a precise curation that allows familiar artworks to appear from a new, audible perspective.
Aesthetic experience and cultural education
The exhibition invites a slowed-down contemplation of the works. Colors, materials, forms, and spatial effects combine with directed sound fields to create an immersive experience. The audience is not only a viewer but, through movement, attention, and listening, an active co-creator of perception. This is precisely where the cultural education of this exhibition lies: Art reveals itself not only through knowledge but also through body, memory, and sensory presence.
Conclusion: See, hear, and rediscover art
Alexander Tillegreen's Pieces for Works opens an unusual access to the collection at the Kunsthalle Mannheim. Visitors can expect a finely balanced connection of sound art, contemporary composition, and visual art. Anyone wishing to deepen the aesthetic experience of a museum visit and perceive familiar forms anew should definitely experience this exhibition live.
