AMARIE BERGMAN hi-fi: no.2
September 11th – October 3rd, 2026
“I entertain visibility and invisibility via materials and ideas. Although I make art objects, it is the immaterial sourcing and even a kind of sorcery that are the attraction.”1
“Almost mystical in their effect, nevertheless anchored in the minutae of the everyday world…”2
“To be an artist is not a matter of making paintings or objects at all. What we are really dealing with is our state of consciousness and the shape of our perceptions.”3
By flipping the standard ‘background’ context within Five Walls Project Space 4 to an integral presence, its interior architecture becomes a spatial accomplice for geometric minimalism. Through this intervention, a deliberate entanglement appears to be logical, yet Amarie Bergman interprets “high fidelity” to this site-specific location as intuitively experimental. Because the site is responded to like this, and redefined through simplicity of non-objective work, then some unusual things happen, including a synchronous space-time and a poetic streamlining.
hi-fi: no.2 honours the architecture in this unique space with an engagement that accentuates experiential reality.
