    Current: "Die Intensität der Orte – Strömung und Abstraktion" / - 15.9.2024 / Opening hours: Friday / Saturday 2-5pm | 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 is 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.

    Preview: Jürgen Paas “STRANGE KIND OF COLOURS”, Opening Reception on Sunday, September 22nd, 11 am - 4 pm  | Duration: 22.9.-26.10.24


    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.


    At the same time fotodiskurs opens the exhibition “nameless” with works by Jeff Cohen and Werner Knaupp diagonally opposite (Bergstr. 12), greeting: Jürgen Enninger, Cultural Officer of the City of Augsburg.

    Upcoming: augsburg contemporary will be showing new works by Anja Behrens, Isabelle Dyckerhoff, Florian Ecker, Inge Gutbrod, Reiner Heidorn and Bettina Hutschek from October 17th to 20th, 2024 at the 9th Art Salon in the Museum Villa Rot in Burgrieden near Ulm. Taking up the tradition of the Parisian salon culture of the 17th century, the Red Art Salon, now in its ninth edition, offers an attractive meeting place for professional and social exchange. In the historic rooms of the villa and in the modern art hall, thirteen renowned galleries from Germany and abroad will be showing current trends in the art market. A primary concern of the art fair is to show the breadth and diversity of current trends and to present works by both established, renowned and young, up-and-coming artists.  


    You will find us in room 8 of Villa Rot, in the hallway of the villa with an installation by Inge Gutbrod and in the entrance area of the museum with a new work by Anja Behrens. Visit us in Burgrieden!


    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.
