What was once an empty gatehouse is now a station for contemporary art. A building that is normally used for access control or the management of entrances and exits is becoming a symbol of openness and cultural interaction. A concept that marks the transition from a functional, inconspicuous building to a space for creativity and art.
By inviting artists to install sculptures in the interior and exterior space at regular intervals, the historic space is revitalized and contributes to the creation of a place for creative interaction. The surroundings of Ledeburg in Herrenhausen, especially in connection with the Eilers Werke, offer an interesting cultural context.
The artist Sven-Julien Kanclerski realizes the first artistic intervention in the Kunst Station: Like an architectural echo of the former gatehouse, Sven-Julien Kanclerski's large-format sculpture Insight Outside rises up on the flat roof of today's Kunst Station. A sculptural construction made of zinc segments, infused with the aesthetics of functional building elements, opens the view upwards with a classic skylight as its central moment, while the body of this work itself is reminiscent of a disused control room: once a threshold between inside and outside, between access and demarcation.
The object translates the motif of the former gatehouse into a new, abstract form. As an isolated shelter, detached from the ground, it is both an observation point and a place of retreat. On the one hand, the capsule appears deserted, on the other, strangely animated by the light shining from within. Insight Outside plays with the duality between inside and outside and opens another hatch to the imaginary world inside the viewer.
Sven-Julien Kanclerski deliberately transforms industrial materials and uses them to create hybrid sculptures that also act as reflections of their designed surroundings. With an eye for the everyday and a sense of subtle misappropriation, he lends infrastructural, iconic objects new levels of meaning - often with an ironic undertone, always with conceptual and sculptural precision.
Hanover-based artist Sven-Julien Kanclerski was born in Langenhagen in 1988 and studied at the Braunschweig University of Art. In 2020, he was awarded the Kunstverein Hannover Prize, and the following year he received a scholarship from the Art Encounters Foundation in Timişoara, Romania. In 2025, he received the prestigious Sprengel Prize for Fine Arts. As part of the associated project, Kanclerski is currently working on a new work that will be created at the Sprengel Museum Hannover.
