Contemporary Art

As you enter the brutalist former bank complex, the lobby opens up as a carefully curated gallery space. The white marble sculpture Mar Whispering by Jaume Plensa dominates the staircase, while Tacita Dean’s photo-engraving is placed discreetly behind the reception desk.

Throughout your stay at At Six, original works by Olafur Eliasson, Julian Opie, Sol LeWitt, Spencer Finch, Richard Long, Marijke van Warmerdam, and Kristina Matousch are integrated into corridors and suites in a deliberate and cohesive arrangement. The collection, curated by Sune Nordgren, creates a refined dialogue between architecture and contemporary art.

Marijke
Warmerdam

Marijke van Warmerdam (b. 1959) is a Dutch artist working in photography, film, and installation. Her works often centre on simple motifs and repeated movements, creating a quiet and almost meditative rhythm. Through subtle shifts in image and time, she reveals a sense of motion within the seemingly everyday.

Olafur Eliasson

Olafur Eliasson is occupied with optical and visual phenomenona, very often with astonishing results. His wall-sized colour spectrum is scientific in its immediate presence but captures the spectator and gives a nature-like experience. Danish artist Olafur Eliasson (b. 1967) lives and works in Berlin.
