Press Release
The paravent separates – and connects. It creates intimacy without enclosing, structures space without fixing it. Foldable, mobile, permeable, it becomes an instrument of spatial in-between. The paravent has long stood for thresholds, transitions and possibilities – in architecture as much as in art history. As a mobile, permeable element, it undermines the idea of a fixed, closed space and brings processes of dividing, shifting and reordering into focus. It operates through transparency and suggestion: it conceals and reveals simultaneously, arouses curiosity about what lies behind it, and opens up associations between intimacy and staging.
Kunstverein Siegen presents with The Paravent is an Object of the In-Between an exhibition that departs from a simple, everyday object. The paravent points not only to architectural but also to art-historical strategies of spatial organisation, making visible that space is not a given structure but something that can be interpreted anew.
