When material, memory, and space meet

With Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, VAN HORN in Düsseldorf presents an exhibition that brings two different artistic temperaments into a concentrated dialogue: Pip Culbert and Gerhard Hoehme. The title refers to an English saying that symbolizes luck, memory, and new beginnings – and this range exactly characterizes the art experience between post-war modernism, material experimentation, and an open conception of images.

A dialogue between image, object, and space

Gerhard Hoehme is considered one of the defining voices in German post-war art. His work liberates the canvas from a closed form and opens it into space. Strings, collage elements, industrial materials, and free image edges create an exhibition atmosphere where painting, sculpture, and installation merge into one another. The examination of the works here becomes a movement: The eye follows lines, surfaces, and tensions that not only interact with the space but also conceptually expand it.

Pip Culbert and the poetry of material

Pip Culbert presents an artistic attitude that transforms the everyday into a precise, quiet form. Her works are characterized by reduced gestures, material-conscious arrangements, and a fine sensitivity to textile, spatial, and serial structures. In juxtaposition with Hoehme, an aesthetic experience arises that does not rely on volume but on nuances: on transitions, on layers, on the subtle relationship between closeness and distance.

Post-war modernism as a contemporary experience

The exhibition brings together two positions that view art history not as a closed chapter but as an open field. Hoehme's attitude towards painting as an energetic space and Culbert's interest in materiality and formal reduction make visible how alive the questions of post-war modernism remain. Especially in a gallery like VAN HORN, this curatorial placement unfolds as a concentrated form of cultural education: understandable for the curious, stimulating for experts, and rich in art-historical references.

Why a visit is worthwhile

Anyone who appreciates contemporary exhibition practices, informal art, material art, and the poetic power of open forms will find an exhibition here with depth and resonance. The spaces of VAN HORN provide the appropriate setting for a precise, sensual, and intellectually dense examination of the works. Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed promises no loud spectacle, but a quiet, sustainable art experience that lingers long after. A visit is definitely worthwhile – especially for those who want to experience art as an aesthetic experience and as a space for thought.
