Raphael Pohl & Theodor Nymark
On the first floor and in the basement of the Eck Museum of Art (formerly known as Stadtmuseum Bruneck), artists Theodor Nymark (b. 1997, DK) and Raphael Pohl (b.1998, IT) present a joint exhibition shaped by an ongoing dialogue between two friends and colleagues. Their practices unfold and intertwine through gestural reassemblies of archival material, personal belongings, and repurposed objects found within the museum and beyond. Both artists show new individual works as well as collaborative pieces, spanning various intersecting interests and media. These include urban development, landscape, spirituality, authorship, video, sound, objects, light, sensors, behavioural movement, art history, and site specificity.

late summer 97, the road to the house is overgrown. gas lines hang above, the metal turned pale. the football field behind it swallowed by grass, goalposts rusted. the stairs to the house covered in plums. water pools on the veranda, it runs into the floor below. achi, the neighbor’s kid, is in the city. i was meant to look for birds
the dog at the gate no longer barks. one window flickers in the house by the river. the blue bus stop, bare flat land, come back to the garden, the baker is gone. the leaves haven’t fallen. i am not from here but i wish i were.
