This catalog is published on the occasion of the exhibition "Tönend hallt die Jugend" at Kunsthalle Recklinghausen (October 6 - November 18, 2018). Using analog recording media like audio- or videotapes and records, Gregor Hildebrandt has created a work of great visual and haptic intensity for two decades that is as consistent as it is multifaceted. His minimalist paintings, ceiling-height pillars, and monumental tableaux express a wide-raging reflection on time, material, gesture, and form. They deal with the question of how music, film, and poetry can be preserved in a work of art and thus transferred to a second silent and timeless level. Created as a survey, the exhibition at the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen unites early groundbreaking paintings and new works, which create an impressive staging in the three nearly square, box-like spaces of the former high-rise bunker.

The depiction of things – and their secrets, too – has a long visual historical tradition, such as the opulent floral still lifes of Dutch painters, but also the artistic avant-garde of the 20th century or the Neue Sachlichkeit. The »painted pieces« by fifty artists present materiality as the greatest common denominator. The images show tangible things, found objects, and everyday utensils, but also surreal forms and abstract objects, painted »tangibly«. From the classic still life to a random conglomeration of objects, from the cuboid to the smudge: the objects depicted are transformed into painting, and open up a range of pictures celebrating painting in small to very small format: none of the paintings on display are bigger than 50 x 40 cm.

The question concerning the »secret of things« not only directs the gaze to what is necessarily hidden, but also to what is evident: what do we see in things, what allusions, clarifications, and new insights arise in relation to reality? However, some things remain a secret, unexplained and enigmatic. The invitation of this exhibition and this catalog is to trace this, to find the magic in things, as well as the open-mindedness to tolerate the enigmatic. The exhibition was curated by Hartmut Neumann for Beck & Eggeling International Fine Art and for the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen.
