Jürgen Partenheimer

Press release

In the exhibition dekohärenz – nelle vene del mondo, Jürgen Partenheimerunfolds an open system between lyrical visual spaces and the conceptual realm of scientific thought. Through artistic interpretation, the title brings together theoretical insight from quantum physics and a poetic perception of the world. In physics, the concept of decoherence describes the dynamic correlation between object and environment as an inevitable interaction through which stable relations dissolve. The poetic line of verse by Eugenio Montale, “nelle vene del mondo” (Italian for “in the veins of the world”), evokes the idea of a movement of natural forces that is at once directed and open, permeating the world. Within Partenheimer’s work – which understands perception as an open process – analytical insight and lyrical sensibility emerge as bearer of an abstract order. The exhibition brings together works from different periods of production (from 1985 to 2026), which stand in open correlation with one another. In their juxtaposition, a field of tension emerges, comparable to the notion of decoherence as a productive yet indeterminate state: a condition that allows meaning to be continually reoriented.
