グループ展 「Biome」

HECTARE is pleased to present the group exhibition Biome, featuring works by Majalis Group (August Hugo and Theodor Nymark),  Fukuda Shuhei, Oh Hyunseog, and Theodor Nymark.
This exhibition brings together four artists from Japan and abroad to explore the complex relationship between nature and artificiality through a post-anthropocentric perspective on time and scale.

*Opening reception 8.8 (Fri) 18:00 - 21:00

The photographic series is a recent continuation of a body of work influenced by the Pictorialist movement of the late 19th century. This movement explored not only photography’s role in art at the time but also the ‘blurry’ or unsharp image and its relationship to themes of ecology, industry, and spirituality. The methodology of blurring the content is an intent to resist direct representation, shifting meaning from the rational toward abstraction.  The framed works at Hectare for the Biome exhibition are iPhone photographs with digitally applied Gaussian blur, created during a residency at the Danish Institute in Rome. Most depict Piazza Campo de’ Fiori—literally “Field of Flowers”—which was once a meadow in ancient Rome. Although its name recalls this floral past, the square gradually evolved into a public space known for executions, commerce, and daily life.

The wall text is an excerpt from the poem A Carcass in Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil), Charles Baudelaire’s seminal 1857 collection.  In A Carcass (Une Charogne), the speaker recalls walking with his lover when they encounter the decomposing body of an animal. Described in vivid, almost grotesque detail, the carcass becomes a memento mori—a reminder that the lover, too, will decay. Yet her beauty and essence will live on through his poetry.

On the first floor and in the basement of the Eck Museum of Art (formerly known as Stadtmuseum Bruneck), artists Theodor Nymark (b. 1997, DK) and Raphael Pohl (b.1998, IT) present a joint exhibition shaped by an ongoing dialogue between two friends and colleagues. Their practices unfold and intertwine through gestural reassemblies of archival material, personal belongings, and repurposed objects found within the museum and beyond. Both artists show new individual works as well as collaborative pieces, spanning various intersecting interests and media. These include urban development, landscape, spirituality, authorship, video, sound, objects, light, sensors, behavioural movement, art history, and site specificity.

Danish Institute in Rome
2025

During my month-long residency in May 2025 at the Danish Institute in Rome, I have been interested in investigating, through writing, photography, video, sculpture and gestural arrangements installed in and around the institute by Kay Fisker, how Arte Povera meets ecological and post-human theory, and how questions of ephemerality, authorship, economic instability and cultural precarity thread through both. I read the city itself as a living archive: a palimpsest where myth, ruin, and behavioural patterns overlap. Following Aldo Rossi’s idea of urban artefacts, façades, arcades, and demolition scars become active agents that keep identity in motion, mediating between innovation and authenticity.

Through the prism of Pier Paolo Calzolari’s work La Casa Ideale (1968), I seek to develop the notion of an “ecological object”: a sort of materialised spherical mirror that reflects the spiritual, cultural, political, and environmental strata of its surroundings. Field trips to industrial zones and heritage sites—along with conversations with important figures such as curator and L’Attico founder Fabio Sargentini—test this concept against Arte Povera’s material poetics and current debates on agency, materiality, and place. Whether I point the focus towards the ornamental flourish of a façade or the blunt violence of demolition, I am interested in showcasing how both infrastructure and narrative might script the conditions of life in the city.
