Compression or condensation can be achieved through a variety of techniques: superimposition, linking, duplication, collage, etc. Whether condensation leads to thematic depth, an insight or relevant statements, or merely creates confusion through chaos, depends on the components and their composition. Annett Zinsmeister is a master of condensation, creating expressive yet subtle works of aesthetic and thematic depth through complexity, thanks to her research and experimentation with representational techniques.

The notion informal refers to formless and easy and in Art history to a unique style with free, expressive compositions and experimental, gestural painting, developed as a counterposition to rational geometric abstraction in Paris and gained importance in Germany from the 1950s. In addition to works by important representatives of the Informel, this exhibition also shows that there are two personalities behind the collection, each of whom sets different and even contradictory accents but knows how to unite them harmoniously under one roof.

The human relationship with nature is existential, even if this understanding seems to be increasingly lost sight of. We see nature as life and a resource, as beauty but also as a threat, as an ever-surprising wonder but unfortunately also as a mere product. The artists in the exhibition show a very different view of nature—fascinated, observant, inquiring, material… But they all share a respect for nature and a careful approach to it.

Color pigments dissolved in water are at the beginning of art, and it is time to dedicate an exhibition to this increasingly rare technique. Working with watercolors is challenging, and their material-specific expression is unique: the representation of transparencies and layers, the flow of color that evaporates or condenses at the edges, the delicacy and/or power of the colors… The multifaceted use of the works on display from the 20th and 21st centuries is astonishing.

Hans Kotter
The innovative spectrum of the light artist Hans Kotter seems inexhaustible in its diversity of expression and form: in recent years he has increasingly explored the combination of sculpture and light and has developed spectacular free-standing sculptures as well as mysterious relief works that seem to spread out and emerge from the wall.

On the occasion of the European Month of Photography in March 2025, we are therefore showing a selection of photographs from the collection from the 20th and 21st centuries with a focus on space and structure.

The artist group ZERO (1958-66) was looking for a new artistic beginning, a “zero hour” after the horror, destruction and atrocities committed by Germany in particular during the Second World War. “ZERO referred to a phase of silence and stillness, an intermediate zone in which an old state changes into a new one”. This explains the use of light, air, movement and fire.

Paper is one of the oldest drawing media, but it is also a wonderful material for sculptural design. The exhibition brings together works that use and transform paper artistically in a wide variety of ways.

Radiation, reflection, refraction,… With and through light, many exciting effects can be observed and artistically processed. The four selected artists deal with the medium of light and its phenomena in very different ways. This makes the synopsis all the more exciting.

We know of the first glass objects from around 3500 B.C. Since then, the material has developed into its own art form
and some glassblowing companies have achieved world fame, such as Costa, Orrefors in the so-called glass kingdom of southern Sweden.
In the exhibition we show contemporary glass objects from glassblowing workshops in this region of Sweden.
