Curating art, narrating reality.
A place where creativity and research meet.
Here are our projects:
Metronom inaugurates its new exhibition space with the group show From My Point of View, featuring works by Olaf Breuning, Kenta Cobayashi, Mark Dorf, and Thomas Kuijpers.
From My Point of View presents the research of four artists who, in different ways, reflect on and explore the possibilities for contemporary artists to interpret their own ‘role.’
Since February, with the opening of its new space in the historic center of Modena, Metronom has expanded its activities: alongside its exhibition program, it will also focus on editorial projects, supporting its commitment to promoting contemporary art.
Olaf Breuning (Switzerland, 1970) lives between New York and Zurich.
After exhibiting at important international institutions, in 2016 he had a retrospective at the NRW-Forum in Düsseldorf. His solo exhibitions have been held at Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2011); Kunsthall Stavanger, Norway (2015); Paul Klee Museum, Bern (2013). Public art projects commissioned by the Public Art Fund include “Clouds” at Doris C. Freedman Plaza, Central Park (New York) and “Lightness of Being” at City Hall Park, New York.
Kenta Cobayashi (Japan, 1992) lives in Shibuya, Tokyo.
After studying at Tokyo Zokei University, he has held solo exhibitions at G/P Gallery (Tokyo, 2017 and 2016). His work has been included in major group exhibitions such as GIVE ME YESTERDAY at Fondazione Prada (Milan, 2016); New Rube Goldberg Machine at KAYOKO YUKI·KOMAGOME SOKO (Tokyo, 2016); and New Material at Casemore Kirkeby (San Francisco, 2016).
Mark Dorf (New York, 1988) lives in Brooklyn, NY.
Mark Dorf’s practice involves photography, digital media, and sculpture, used in a hybrid manner. Interested in scientific research and technological development, Dorf analyzes the ‘Information Age’ in a lucid and accurate way, aiming to understand the relationship between humans and their surrounding environment. He was selected as a FOAM Talent in 2017. He has exhibited at international institutions such as IFP Media Center, New York (2017); Postmasters Gallery, New York (2017 and 2015).
Thomas Kuijpers (Netherlands, 1985) lives in Ghent, Belgium.
Kuijpers explores the roles of contemporary media narratives within our perception of the current world, with a particular focus on the representation and communication of the concept of truth. He has presented his work at international institutions such as MASP, São Paulo (2013), Kunsthal, Rotterdam (2011), Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2014), Foam Museum, Amsterdam (2015 and 2017), and Museum Arnhem, Netherlands (2016).
