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.

Annett Zinsmeister
In 2020, Annett Zinsmeister received a research grant to document Spreepark Berlin, the wasteland that became known as the “lost place” of the first and only amusement park in the GDR and the city of Berlin, and explored the park photographically over three years in search of traces of a bygone amusement culture. She is showing these to accompany the exhibition of her installation at Spreepark Art Space Berlin: experimental transformations of her documentation show the remains of rides, traces, fragments, ruins and their successive disappearance in the impenetrability of a natural-artificial jungle that has developed over the years.

LH2 contemporary is located in a former bathhouse from the 19th Century that was used during decades for sports and movement therapy. In 2016 the building was sold and has been transformed into a living and working space for artists. During the running modification of the building in 2017 this exciting project was slightly changed and offered as a design task to Master students of Architecture at Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences in Frankfurt / Main. The six best projects got he opportunity to represent in a first show in the exhibition space. A highlight of the show was a huge changeable model M 1:50 made by Maurice Kube and Marian Möller.
