Madeleine Boschan: Claiming space, without ever taking space away from space

A line from Rilke's poem "The Rose Bowl", which he wrote on Capri in 1907, provides the title for Madeleine Boschan's solo exhibition at the Kebbel Villa. It is the last poem in the first part of the "New Poems". It is Rilke's new view of things, experienced with Rodin, that charges the object with a special meaning, as it were, and detaches it from conventional references to space and time.

Madeleine Boschan (*1979, lives and works in Berlin) studied at the Braunschweig University of Fine Arts and the École Supérieure d'Art et Design du Havre. Her works have been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally, including at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, the Mercedes-Benz Museum, Stuttgart, the Kunsthalle Erfurt, the Neue Galerie Gladbeck, the Galerie Bernd Kugler, Innsbruck, the Stedelijk Museum, Ypres, the Weserburg - Museum für Moderne Kunst and the Kunstverein Friedrichshafen.
