Keeping ideas in motion while the outside world is standing still. Overwriting the walls of your private space.Download preskit (EN/DE)Exhibition archive↓ Scroll to read moreReawakening cultural life beyond social distancingGrowth is a fundamental aspect of human nature. We are used to increasing the space around us, to crossing borders, to thinking of and discovering unexpected grounds.In this fertile environment of constant change, shutdown confronts us with new levels of restriction and limitation. Country borders are closed, private life reduced to a minimum and cultural life locked in silence. The question "What's new?" is increasingly left unanswered and so are the contents that used to stimulate our thoughts and conversations.Presskit (EN/DE) ↗ Contact us ↗SCurrent and past exhibitionsWeek 6Paulina KubiakSeventeenView exhibition ↗Week 5180 global artistsRecycle(d)View exhibition ↗Week 4Students BURGBinary MatterView exhibition ↗Week 3Various ArtistsPositive NegativeView exhibition ↗Week 2Evangelos RodoulisQuarantine DiaryView exhibition ↗Week 1Tim RodenbrökerProgramming PostersView exhibition ↗In absence of new impressions, SHUTDOWN.gallery appears as a contemporary place of visual experience that intends to reawaken cultural life beyond social distancing and to literally overwrite the walls of our private space.Based on the idea to use limitation as a creative tool instead of declaring it as constraint, SHUTDOWN.gallery aims to rethink existing concepts and to reestablish focus in a world of distraction. Every week, there will be a new exhibition with an artist whose work moves the world of art and design and thus maintains the fertile environment of constant change.Follow us on Instagram ↗SHUTDOWN.gallery was founded by Patrik Hübner, an interdisciplinary designer who specializes in telling fresh and meaningful stories at the intersection of design, technology and art. He researches and applies novel forms of visual and interactive communication for brands, agencies and cultural institutions.Patrik is driven by the question how the mixture of data, human interaction, artificial intelligence and storytelling can transform the impact of communication design. Drawing from a rich background of 10+ years as a Creative Director for leading national and international brands, he nowadays constantly crosses the boundaries of design, technology and art.Impressum DatenschutzCopyright © 2020 Patrik HübnerGallery version: Currently loading the interactive gallery.0%Click to enter the galleryPress these keys on your keyboard to move aroundMove your mouseto look aroundRotate your deviceto look aroundPress these keys on your keyboard to move aroundPress the ESC-key toleave the galleryRotate your deviceto look around↓Click to visit another exhibitionXCloseWeek 6Paulina KubiakSeventeenThe exhibition 17seventeen describes the climax of an experimental creative period of Paulina Kubiak's work in 2020 on the rigorous path to finding a characteristic expression and an artistically recognizable formal language.17 works on the path to adulthood, which knows no date and yet for Paulina Kubiak begins in the spring of 2021.Week 5180 global artistsRecycle(d)Recycling is all about taking a material and turning it back into itself, but newer, different.And as we emerge from the old normal into a new one, it's an opportunity to look at how we do things - how we can improve, change and adapt.Take the old ways and make them the better ways.Week 4Students Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule HalleBinary MatterDuring this summer term students of the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle developed positions on computational design and disseminated its impacts on aesthetics and society. Due to Corona restrictions the discourse was held mostly online and non-physical. Everybody gained insight into digital design strategies by delving into Grasshopper, a Rhino 3D tool for parametric design.Within a short design sprint the students created a series of objects that have one thing in common: holes. When is a hole a hole? How holey can an object be? The results are exhibited in the Shutdown Gallery.Week 3Various ArtistsPositive NegativeA virus cannot discriminate. It cannot be racist or homophobic or classist or ableist.Queer and trans people survive not as individuals, but as a community. That community is represented on this flag and on these walls. Those identities are art. Their pride is a revolution.Week 2Evangelos RodoulisQuarantine DiaryPhotography creates distance, alienates and at the same time allows us to forever preserve a brief moment of our present through the lens of nostalgia. As a means of intentional limitation, the viewfinder allows us to change perspective. To escape into the role of the observer and take on a mediated confrontation with the world.Regaining control over what’s happening and opening our eyes to a different present is what comes along with a decreasing density of experience.Week 1Tim RodenbrökerProgramming PostersThe „Poster 2.0“ is much more than a surface with type, colors and images on it: It is an interactive application, animated, audible, data driven and intermedial.Our world is changing at a breathtaking pace. New technologies cause fundamental transformations. Now is the time to get creative! To find new ways to deal with change and disruption. To discover, evaluate and develop new, valuable opportunities.
