Current: Jürgen Paas “STRANGE KIND OF COLOURS” | 22.9.-2.11.24

In the new series of works “JUKEBOX” and “TARGET” by Jürgen Paas, the installed wall and floor objects are reduced to the elementary formal language of line, circle and square. Composed on the one hand of spirally wound bands of color, on the other hand added together in vertical stripes, they only reveal their multifaceted visual experience to us as we walk around them or pass by. By comparing the individual objects with one another, the differently arranged strips of color allow the viewer to gain insights based on the selection of colors and their interaction with one another. Optical color mixtures and apparent rotations of the objects are reminiscent of kinetic art, but go far beyond this in the arrangement of various superimposed forms in the wall installations. The complexity of these installations relates to the overall perception of the space they occupy and influences the visual experience through their constellation in relation to each other and the respective viewing angle that the viewer adopts as they walk past.

Preview: Sebastian Bühler “Parking - structures and shapes”, Opening Reception on Sunday, November 10th, 11 am - 4 pm | Duration: 10.11.-14.12.24

Where others go on, Sebastian Bühler stops, looks and discovers the charm of what is no longer perfect. He takes a careful look at the damaged, which we are usually used to negating, and photographs it with care and respect. He reveals what was previously hidden and shows that beauty can also be found in destruction. Sebastian Bühler not only conveys a new view of the surface, but also of what lies behind it and, above all, of ourselves. 

Review: "Die Intensität der Orte – Strömung und Abstraktion" / 28.7.- 15.9.2024 | In their artworks, Anja Behrens and Anna-Maria Kursawe are dealing with the expressive power of landscape under the influence of the respective composition and the site-specific light. They capture the contrasting moods of north and south. On display was a juxtaposition of arctic interpretations of nature and Mediterranean cityscapes. By comparing the two artists' different ways of seeing and expressing themselves - here the Nordic flow, there the southern abstraction - intensity and formative power of places is made visible.
