Kim Gordon transforms empty apartments and offices across Kriens and Lucerne into galleries for her Real Estate Paintings series. Working with photographer Josephine Pryde, Gordon places her canvases within these abandoned spaces, creating unexpected encounters between art and vacancy. Pryde captures each installation using analog photography techniques, documenting how Gordon's paintings interact with the sterile corporate environments and hollow residential spaces. The vacant rooms become stages where Gordon's artistic vision confronts the reality of empty real estate. Through this collaboration, Gordon explores the relationship between artistic creation and the spaces we inhabit, finding beauty in the tension between presence and absence. The project reveals how art can activate forgotten places, transforming corporate emptiness into something meaningful. Gordon's paintings breathe life into these hollow spaces while the spaces themselves become part of the artistic statement.
