The exhibition series Made on Föhr, a result of the museum’s artist in residence programme, continues with the presentation "Rune Guneriussen – Lights go out".
As artist of residence of the Museum Kunst der Westküste, the Norwegian artist Rune Guneriussen (b. 1977) was on Föhr in 2018 where he laid the groundwork for his new series of works titled Lights go out: in different locations on the island, he created the first three works of the series. Additional works were created in Norway and in the Danish coastal town of Skagen. |

| Guneriussen’s artistic practice spans installation art and photography. In his Lights go out series, abstract light installations enter into a ‘dialogue’ with nature. The combination gives rise to powerful, atmospheric images which are as idyllic as they are irritating. Upon closer inspection, a web of subtle contradictions unfolds between nature, installation and light, conveying the artist’s personal perception of the changing coexistence of man and nature, which vacillates between dependence and alienation. The Lights go out series may be understood as Guneriussen’s commentary on a globally exacerbating environmental crisis and reflects his growing focus on what may be one of the most pressing issues of our time. |

| To date, the Lights go out series includes 29 large-scale photographic works. A selection of those works is now presented in what is the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition in Germany. A catalogue in German and English is published in conjunction with the exhibition. |
