AUSSTELLUNGSERÖFFNUNG ,,THOMAS RENTMEISTER. d23"

Every year, the Lower Saxony Foundation honors a personality from the Lower Saxony art scene with an edition of the "Kunst der Gegenwart" book series. The books are a recognition and tribute to the artists, most of whom can look back on a remarkable career and an extensive body of work. Each artist is given the opportunity to design the monograph according to their own wishes. The respective new publications will be accompanied by an exhibition at the Sprengel Museum Hannover. 2024 Thomas Rentmeister, born in 1964, has been selected for the established monograph series.

d23 stands for Dorfstraße 23 in Klein-Reken, the address of the parental home of Thomas Rentmeister, sculptor and professor of sculpture at the Braunschweig University of Art. Rentmeister took his mother's move to a residential care home and the associated dissolution of the household as an opportunity to reflect on his own history. In his exhibition at the Sprengel Museum in Hanover, he has processed all the mobile objects that were still in the house at the end - household goods, furniture and many personal items - into an extensive spatial installation.

The exhibition is sponsored by and takes place in cooperation with the Stiftung Niedersachsen.
