Starting point of the exhibition "Dynamics of (dis)order" is the playful approach to the depot as a storage location for art. No matter how different depots may be, they have one thing in common: every depot has its order, every object has its fixed location, is inventoried and catalogued. There are good reasons for this – after all, it is important to maintain an overview and to be able to find every object fast. But what happens when the logic of the depot is transferred to an exhibition? In "Dynamics of (dis)order", around fourty sculptures and installations of approximately twenty artists are presented mostly in alphabetical order – an order that is in itself arbitrary and unbiased. However, the factor of coincidence creates unexpected and exciting relationships that sometimes take on a surreal character.

The spacious hall invites visitors to stroll around and make new discoveries. In addition to coincidental encounters and artworks in only half-opened boxes, the historical development of sculpture also becomes visible: from the naturalistic representation of the human body in the 19th century to the free sculptural forms of the artistic avant-garde. Movements such as Cubism, Surrealism and Abstraction redefine sculpture. Forms are fragmented, distorted, reassembled, abstracted or conceived as non-representational. The further we move into the present, the more freely and experimentally artists deal with the concept of sculpture. This ultimately raises the question of the artistic view of systems of order. Since Modernism, artists have been consciously breaking with existing orders, conventions and visual habits. This desire for disorder and rule-breaking contrasts with the strict structure of an art warehouse. The result is a dynamic interplay: Order and disorder are constantly questioned and placed in relation to each other.
