Good Company, 2024
Simon Persson, Rui Suzuki, Thomas Neumann, Zihan Chen, Hannah Stratmann, Ryota Yahagi, Gowoon Lee, Nura Afnan-Samandari.
The MUR BRUT project series has been realized on a white-painted wall in the parking garage of the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf since 2010. Since then, this wall, thus detached from the visual concept of the parking garage, has served as a projection surface for quarterly changing art projects.
In her project Good Company, artist Nura Afnan-Samandari returns the wall to the parking garage by reinstating the original wall design with stripes in blue and black. She swaps the area intended for her work for smaller areas that she has repurposed, which are distributed across both parking decks and the outside space: Glass boxes and aluminum frames that are normally intended for advertising posters for the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf and the Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen.
In her artistic work, the artist herself says that it is important to her to give others space, including space for their own ideas. She developed the Good Company project in conversation with the exhibiting artist friends, thus creating a collaborative space on an abstract and concrete level.
At the same time, she gives visitors the opportunity to experience the architecture of the parking garage and its surroundings spatially by visiting the works distributed in and around the building.
