Borderline Centre for Foreign Contemporary Art
(2008-2010)



Borderline is an exhibition space located in the border area between the inner walls of the exhibition space Mellanrummet (literally the space in between) and the actual walls of the surrounding architecture. This narrow space has no function other than constituting the walls of Mellanrummet and thereby its white cube characteristics. Redefining this borderline as an actual space with its own value raises the question of inside and outside. Which is which? And who is the one to decide? 

Linking the physical properties of the space with the problematics of identity, dislocation, migrancy and liminality, Borderline becomes a representation of the gray area between separate zones–or the vast gap between undesirable and desirable space for those who happen to be on the wrong side. The gallery sign post, with its allusions to ferry or underground timetable/destination signs, suggests travel into this border zone, which also happens to be a dead end. 

Borderline is a project by Eva Beierheimer (AT) and Anngjerd Rustand (NO)
