Project: Hammershøi in the Light of Dreyer, Barcelona / Spanien
For the exhibition of the Danish artists Hammershøi and Dreyer, which took place at the Centre for Contemporary Art in Barcelona, an exhibition design based on a "space-within-a-space" concept was evolved. A labyrinthine sequence of spaces with small, intimate rooms leads the visitor through the artworks of the two Danish artists, which depict their initial contact and their developing relationship as well as their collaborative work. To create the different moods required, the design team used graduated shades of grey and simulated moving images in the various spaces, together with soft textiles - rather than hard walls - to delimit each space.

The jury's verdict: "The jury was impressed by the unusual and highly individual interpretation and conception of this exhibition architecture."
