Opening hours

A perennial sculptural project, presenting current editions and pursue sculptural collaborations.

LRRH_ AERIAL is situated right in the historic city center of Düsseldorf in a building made of a spectacular glass and steel construction, which forms the walls and roof of the given space, folding along the building edges of the two neighboring protected heritage sites.

A lofty air space extends up to the entire height of the structure. The impressive interior is filled with light thanks to the all-glass exterior which provides unobstructed views and an exalted spatial quality. A glass elevator brings visitors to the entrance of the gallery located on the upper floor of the adjacent building.

UPCOMING EVENT

PERFORMANCE

Sagí Amir Gross & FRZNTE

Vortex

30 March 2023 at 6 pm

 

Music by T Dönges

On the evening before the Art Düsseldorf opening, the choreographer Sagí Amir Gross shows a second solo performance at LRRH_ AERIAL. It is called Vortex again.
In fluid dynamics, this term stands for a rotational movement of flowing elements around an axis. That is what FRZNTE from Berlin stands for as well. She will perform at the pole after Gross’s Vortex.

The half-hour event takes place in the context of our two current exhibitions: Feeler by EJTECH and Himmelblau by Thomas Lohr. Both installations are part of LRRH_’s ongoing Kite project.

Sagí Amir Gross is a queer Israeli /Dutch theater director, choreographer, filmmaker and dancer. His creation Vortex explores the theme of identity formation and the need of belonging. In it, Gross questions his physical, choreographic signature, which he calls Physical Script.
Gross was educated at The Dutch National Ballet Academy, Amsterdam, Bat-Dor Dance Academy and Tellma Yellin High School for the Arts, Tel-Aviv. Since September of 2021 he has been the artistic director and choreographer of WDTanztheater; since 2012 director of the foundation GrossDanceCompany Amsterdam. Gross has collaborated with international companies and academies such as: Sydney Dance Company PPY, Staatstheater Braunschweig, Grand Rapids Ballet, Michigan, Architanz, Tokyo, The Royal Ballet Conservatory The Hague, Busan Dance Academy, South Korea, to name only a few. His dance film and performance Silent Force received great international attention.

FRZNTE is an East Berlin-born dj, pole performer and cultural producer. She has worked with Transmoderna and Peaches, among others, and occasionally tours with Apex Anima. In her pole performances she combines performative, choreographic and sculptural elements, often referring to the architectural context.
FRZNTE would like to be announced with this quote from Audre Lorde’s The Use of Eroticism: Eroticism as Power: “Recognizing the power of the erotic within our lives can give us the energy to pursue genuine change within our world, rather than merely settling for a shift of characters in the same weary drama. For not only do we touch our most profoundly creative source, but we do that which is female and self-affirming in the face of a racist, patriarchal, and anti-erotic society.”

T Dönges is a visual artist and technically implements the musical concepts of both artists. Usually Dönges spends most of the time participating, and producing techno & notable electronica.
