AUF FALSCHER SEITE IN DIE FALSCHE RICHTUNG

Almine Rech London is pleased to present 'AUF FALSCHER SEITE IN DIE FALSCHE RICHTUNG', Gregor Hildebrandt's ninth solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from 6 June to 26 July 2025. German artist Gregor Hildebrandt's paintings, sculptures and installations draw on music, cinema and underground cultures, arranging and combining visual elements of sound recordings and various recording media such as magnetic tapes, vinyl records or compact disks.

Gregor Hildebrandt's (b.1974, Bad Homburg, Germany) signature media are cassette tape and vinyl, which he collages and assembles into apparently minimalist yet latently romantic paintings, sculptures, and installations.

Resting in silence behind the glossy surface of his analog aesthetics, which verges on black and white monochrome, music and cinema haunt his practice. Whether pictorial or sculptural, all of his works contain prerecorded materials, which he references in the titles. These pop-cultural sources, usually a single song, are meant to trigger both collective and personal memories.

Further relating to architectural Gesamtkunstwerk, Hildebrandt's monumental sonic barriers made of stacked, bowl-shaped records and his sensual wall curtains made of unreeled tapes create paths for the visitors of his shows.
