The exhibition “Schalen” [“shells”] shows the human effect on natural environments by combining building materials with organic substances. The origin of the works lies in a garden project in which an overgrown plot of land was extensively cut back and structurally altered. What remains are the relics and findings of this intervention, which can be experienced as an expansive installation.

Larissa Heim is studying at the Academie of Fine Arts in Stuttgart with Prof. Alisa Margolis
(among others) .

The exhibition ends with a Finissage on December 6, 2024 from 7 pm.

Water is not only one of the most important resources and a prerequisite for all life, it is also a connecting element. Wet Relations (concept and design by Beatrice Bucher and Sonja Schwarz) establishes an intimate and direct connection between us and the Neckar river with its interactive installation and reports on different relationships between human and non-human bodies of water in a lecture performance (read by Jana Rzehak).

The project is a format of  the neckarinsel e.V. In addition to the exhibition, the association will be presenting its work.

Opening on Friday, April 19, 2024 at 7:30pm with a performance and introduction by Luzi Gross (Cultural scientist, Art educator, Curator). The exhibition is on until May 17, 2024.

The artist starts the thread winder at 11 am, the process of the falling stones can be seen until 11 pm. Introduction by Dr. Verena Jendrus at 5 pm.The exhibition can be seen until April 5, 2024.

An installation with floating stones can be seen in the exhibition with the title La Caida. All the stones are connected to each other by a thread, which is released by a thread winder. The stones gradually fall onto a metal plate. The falling of the stones is reminiscent of the ticking of a clock; time seems to pass, to run out, possibly even the time we have available to us to herald a change for our climate. What remains is the sound of the stones, which can be heard in the space as a sound installation.

Another work developed by the artist especially for the art space is a drawing created by drops of water. In this case Viviana González Méndez extends her personal space from Baden, her home in Switzerland, to Stuttgart to the river Neckar.

In the exhibition blühen (blossom), each monument is created only for a single moment. Each item is found in everyday environments, especially plants in the green spaces of Stuttgart. The exhibited pieces will be borrowed, assembled for the exhibition show and then afterwards returned, if possible, otherwise recycled. The exhibition will change its appearance constantly over the period of the four weeks.

The exhibition ends on June 16, 2023 on 7 pm with an introduction of Enno Lehmann.
A publication will accompany the exhibition.

With many thanks to the sponsoring of the 
Cultural Office Stuttgart and Ritter-Sport Waldenbuch.

Introduction by Dr Verena Jendrus, art historian.

The exhibition ends on 21 April with a finissage starting at 7 pm. 

The video work Lost Waters and Found Stairs deals with the effects of man-made advance on fish in rivers. Poetic moments are combined with documentary film sequences. Among other things, the artist duo explores the question of how and whether humans can intervene in nature without completely upsetting it. Other pieces of the group of works are also on display. For example, a sculpture made of fired clay and concrete reliefs.
On the Long Night of Museums on 25 March 2023, the exhibition will be open from 6 to 1 pm. The artist duo will be present and will give guided tours of the exhibition at 7 and 9 pm.
