From 2017, the Dominikanerkirche in the heart of the old town of Krems will be used by Kunsthalle Krems as an additional exhibition venue in the summer season. The first exhibition project is implemented by Sébastien de Ganay with an installation as a work in situ. In the centre of his exploration of the site is the transformation of the purpose of the space, from church to profane event and exhibition venue. Now-disappeared components of liturgy like light, sound, word and image are made to come to life again. To do so, de Ganay appropriates existing elements which he translates into a mostly abstractminimalist visual language.

The exhibition «Transposition and Reproduction» is accompanied by a comprehensive publication with texts by Max Henry, Jeanette Zwingenberger, Florian Steiniger and an interview by Benedict Ledebur.
