The point of departure for the exhibition All at Once is the schism between the open and absolute perception of time on one side, and the structured linear one on the other. The exhibition functions as a platform where the invited artists can question the perception of time with their artworks.

Even though our society is built upon a logical understanding of time as linear, often, as individuals, we have an intuitive feeling that time can be understood differently — in a more open way. The scientific understanding of light and its speed also influences our understanding of time by making it a relative phenomenon.

The exhibition is curated as a total installation built up as a site-specific scenography with three different spaces, simulating respectively the past, the present and the future. The theatre-like art installation is created on location by the Danish artist Nina Wengel, with artworks carrying strong references to furniture and interior design objects. Simon Hehemann participates with a cable car installation which moves across and connects the three time-divisions in the staging of the exhibition space. Anna Lena Grau and Julia Frankenberg bring a sculpture focusing on the notions of process, performance and metamorphosis. Guest artists Sophie Dupont and Thierry Geoffroy / COLONEL each contribute with an artwork displayed as part of Nina Wengel’s installation.
