About the exhibition
The attic – a room full of stories, memories and secrets. Dark, dusty and often forgotten, yet always imbued with a strange magic that awakens curiosity and perhaps also a little fear in us. Attics harbour traces of the past, whispering stories that linger between dust and darkness. A space of transformation, where things disappear or take on a new meaning. In literature, the attic has always served as a setting for mysterious revelations as a place that connects the visible with the hidden. Attics represent the hidden chapters in family stories – the forgotten suitcase, the old letters, the secret diaries. They are places of retreat, sometimes places of refuge – thinking of Anne Frank, whose moving diary made an attic world-famous, or the characters in novels by Virginia Woolf and Charlotte Brontë, whose attics came to symbolise inner conflicts and hidden identities. At the same time, attics are places of fantasy and creativity: they invite us to confront the darkness with light, to see the past anew and to explore the uncanny artistically.
The exhibition ‘Whispers in the Attic’ picks up on these themes and brings together seven artists who work with a wide variety of media and interpret the theme in very different ways – through installations, sculptures, paintings or objects. The ambivalence of the attic as a place between dream and nightmare, memory and forgetting, repression and discovery is thus explored from different perspectives. The attic becomes not only a physical but also a metaphorical space: it stands for the unconscious and the hidden within ourselves, which we are often reluctant to enter.
