SEARCHING PERFECT SHAPES | MyVR_Planet.DA Michelle Adolfs & Beate Gärtner
20.08.2023, 14:45 24.03.2024, ca.18:00
DA, Kunsthaus Kloster Gravenhorst, Hörstel
Exhibition

Under the title "SEARCHING PERFECT SHAPES", the two artists Beate Gärtner and Michelle Adolfs invite you to a special exhibition from 2.45 p.m. that opens up new aesthetic spaces by means of virtual reality and augmented reality. Throughout the Klosterpark, 3D sculptures can be experienced digitally, entering into a new relationship with architectural features and the natural space. Using a smartphone or tablet, the artworks can be brought onto the screen, superimposed on the live camera image. The result is a game with visual axes and concrete forms that open up an expanded world in motion. The artists sound out digital in-between worlds and show a creative rethinking of sculpture - weightless and interactive.


The project "MyVR_Planet.DA" - part of this year's KunstKommunikation project scholarship - finds its first work conclusion here. The basic principle is a reduction with an abstract language of forms; they are small interventions in our field of vision - everyone controls their own experience. The artists have worked with the works in the tradition of Heinrich Neuy's Bauhaus. In autumn, another exhibition will follow at the Heinrich Neuy Bauhaus Museum in Borghorst, where the digital objects can be experienced haptically with the help of 3D printing.

ARIADNE'S NAAIKUSSEN Historical needlework and sewing utensils
15.10.2023), ca.11:00 28.04.2024, 17:00
Draiflessen Collection, Mettingen
Exhibition

Since 2018, the Draiflessen Collection has owned the "Stichting Ariadne's Naaikussen". This collection of almost 2,000 historical needlework and sewing utensils, a collection of textile samples and a specialist library was assembled over several decades by Clementine Kuttschrütter, née Brenninkmeijer. The treasures date predominantly from the 18th and 19th centuries and are artistically crafted from precious materials. In addition to items still in use today such as needles, scissors, thimbles or elaborate sewing boxes, they also include such items as yarn balls, sewing clamps or shuttles for frivolity work, whose practical significance and aesthetics we can experience anew.
The first presentation of "Ariadne's Naaikussen" in the rooms of the Draiflessen Collection introduces highlights and marks the start of the scholarly treatment of this outstanding collection. It is also a tribute to the passionate collector, who would have turned 90 this year.

STORYTELLING The Narrative Power of Printmaking
15.10.2023), ca.11:00 28.04.2024, 17:00
Draiflessen Collection, Mettingen
Exhibition

The advent of printmaking in the 15th century revolutionised the dissemination of images. Whereas earlier, for example, altarpieces and paintings were only accessible to a select audience, the new media of woodcut and copperplate engraving suddenly made it possible to produce images relatively quickly, cheaply and in large editions.

The exhibition shows how printmaking, with its special narrative form, helped to make images and the stories they contained accessible to a wider public. At the same time, the motifs and depictions were increasingly devoted to profane themes, although the artists and art of the time were still strongly influenced by religion. What purpose did these secular images serve, what zeitgeist did they reflect and how did the artists manage to convey not only an image but also a message to the contemporary viewer on just a few square centimetres of paper? However, while the viewers of the time understood all the hints in the pictorial language very well, this knowing seeing is often lacking today.

STORYTELLING therefore invites visitors to (re)discover the answers to these questions.

Nudes. Art from the TATE, London
10.11.2023, 10:00 14.04.2024, 18:00
LWL Museum for Art and Culture, Münster
Organiser: LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur
Exhibition

The nude is a timeless art motif that fascinates, outrages, excites and inspires through its diversity and possibilities of representation. In the exhibition, ways of interpreting the nude and its art-historical development from the 19th to the 21st century are illuminated. Themes such as the male gaze on the female body and the question of gender and identity are addressed. The works from Tate London are presented in groups, ranging from historical depictions of the nude to politically charged and fragile representations. They are complemented by works by artists such as Edvard Munch and August Macke from the Münster collection.
