An ‘entrechambre’ is a transitional space between two rooms. At GUTS, Entrechambre connects two generations, two practices, and two eras. Aribert von Ostrowski’s works, chosen out of series which span decades, fill the space with layered media references and whimsical undertone that resists easy reading. Jonas von Ostrowski erects a massive wall element, presented here as a sculpture before arriving at its permanent place as a corner in the barn of Los Angeles, an art residency created by the artist in Günsterode, Germany.
Together, the works open a conversation between father and son, between the construction of a collage and the building of a house, between the freedoms of one era and the constraints of another, between a practice rooted in fantasy and one grounded in practicality. They are held together by a shared refusal of hierarchies and a belief that art and life need not be separate things.
