We are pleased to announce the inaugural exhibition of kammer, a new gallery in Hamburg, run by Gustav Kammer.
An arrangement of two dozen small-scale objects reminiscent of a domestic genre painting, ‚Stillleben‘, wich transaltes to stillifes embodies the gallery’s vision of exploring the nuanced boundaries between art and design.
The exhibition presents a diverse array of objects—a framed picture, assemblage, bowl, flask, cup, plate, box, lamps, sculptures, candle holders, candles, cord covers, essential oil burner, and tissue boxes—crafted from materials like wood, ceramics, aluminum, plastic, rubber, silicone, Tyvek, textile, glass, wax, silver, colored foil, Dr. Pepper reduction, and pressed hemp. While some pieces reflect a commitment to craftsmanship, others prioritize a conceptual approach or experimental use of materials, inviting viewers to reconsider the potential and meanings of everyday objects.
Featuring unique works and artisanally crafted editions by twenty-four international contributors, ‚Stillleben‘ highlights the functional and decorative possibilities of artworks while celebrating the aesthetic virtues of design. By bridging art and design, the gallery fosters interaction between these neighbouring domains of visual cultural production, offering a platform for emerging talents from both fields.
