Hedvig Greiffenberg
Breaches

Those metal rods floating green above darker shadowing teal. Windows return here as fragments, thresholds unsuspended. Removed from their walls, bon not no longer promised a view, but holding space for something else. A hollow, a pause, an opening that frames without the need for air. Gleam. Greiffenberg’s works hover between the inside and the outside, between what belongs to us and what slips away.

Glass surfaces carry gestures—delicate marks that ask to be read—while at the same time scattering the room, multiplying the presence of whoever stands before them. They are both sign and reflection, surface and depth, insisting on a double attention. What is drawn and to what is mirrored back. Spatial negotiations and questions of readability, volume, and material are central to Hedvig Greiffenberg’s practice. Licking red isn’t in the room. Lil Kim yellow is also not present. A sea shell rebound is telling brown.

What matters is not only the marks, but the intervals between them. Like a beep-boom-bap, the pause becomes a form in itself. Relations outweighs isolated parts. On the floor, smaller constellations extend inquires. Objects lean against each other, shifting their meanings through adjacency, like words in a poem. Placed side by side, sculptures stain one another with new territories, opening spaces for the unexpected.

Hedvig Greiffenberg’s exhibition unfolds as an exploration of thresholds, framings, and the fragile expansions of meaning. There is a bubble that we want to burst. Amain how we encounter the world—through reflection and through interruption. I two was intolerant once.

Hedvig Greiffenberg (b. 1994) is a sculptor based in Copenhagen, Denmark. She received an MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2024. Spatial negotiations and questions on readability, volume, and material are central to Hedvig Greiffenberg’s practice. Working with both castings and found or readymade objects, Greiffenberg's installations investigate the semantics of the material itself, seeking to challenge habitual modes of meaning-making and to question how the gaze shapes the world as we know it. Her work has most recently been exhibited in Berlin, Copenhagen, Odense, Thisted, and Offenbach am Main.
