Its of measurements
Museum fur Konkrete Kunst, 2019

Units of Measurements celebrates the aesthetics of minimal forms, of rhythm and repetition. Given his recent series of works, "Units of Measurement," the parallel, horizontal, single- or multi-colored stripes appear at first glance to be a minimalist wall piece structuring space. This type of work has"an Agnes Martin-like presence, both in color and grid pattern." A closer look, however, reveals that the artist has nailed a series of wooden folding rulers to the walls at regular intervals.... Indeed, Jacob Dahlgren's serially staged objects lose their original function. But through the strategy of quantity they also gain a new quality.
