Five artists address the subjects space, architecture and their media-based perception and construction of today. In architecture the notion "cubature" denotes the volume of a building thereby revealing its spacial opposites, its inside and outside.

Karina Nimmerfall annihilates this opposition. Yet the insights into her architectural models do not provide the observer with the expected orientation, the initial overview getting lost in her media landscapes. By means of video projections, computer simulations, photographs and drawings the artist creates model-like installations.

Josef Schulz (photography) and Thomas Woll (object), two artists from Duesseldorf are exploring the outside. In his photographic work Schulz traces buildings to their idea of construction and augments them by virtual spatiality. The found footage is digitally separated, modified and combined to the point where an expanded architectural aesthetic is created.

Woll's installative objects made from wood, plaster and tubes are channeling trough the room, creating a realtion with the spatial situation. The artist uses the spatial arrangement to quote locations and non-locations that appear familiar and are yet oddly replaceable and lacking a function. The intrinsic harmless materials are thus transformed into some kind of sci-fi threat.

In her series "annaehernd" (approximate) Kalinka Gieseler develops a playful way of dealing with object and image. A consequent, formal boundary is leading to disorientation that can only be dissolved by carefully analyzing and comparing the respective images.
