Sculpture as Space: Experience Dierk Berthel at the Kesselhaus Art Space
On April 19, 2026, the guided tour of unfinished spaces, volume II will offer an in-depth look at the exhibition by Dierk Berthel at the Kesselhaus art space in Bamberg. Art historian Dr. Barbara Kahle will guide visitors through works that consider material, form, and space not as separate entities but as a living connection. The exhibition is part of a project by the Bamberg Art Association, which brings together sculptural processes, spatial perception, and contemporary art education.

Between Metal, Stone, and Wood
According to the Bamberg Art Association, Dierk Berthel primarily works with metal, stone, and wood. His sculptures have recently been dissolving more strongly, incorporating architectural elements and considering space as an active participant. This is precisely where the appeal of this artistic observation lies: the objects not only exist in the space, but they also transform it.

An Artistic Experience with Art Historical Depth
Dr. Barbara Kahle focuses on both the craftsmanship and material aspects as well as art historical references and contemporary positions in sculpture. The tour thus opens up an aesthetic experience that goes beyond mere seeing: Those who look closely will recognize in Berthel's works the tension between mass and dissolution, between construction and openness.

The Kesselhaus Art Space as a Resonance Space
The Kesselhaus art space is regarded as a place for experimentation, discourse, and cultural education. The Bamberg Art Association sees itself as a mediator between art and the audience, presenting contemporary, young, and current art in an atmosphere particularly suited for intensive artistic observation. The address at Untere Sandstraße 42 in Bamberg has thus become a fixed point for art enthusiasts. ([bamberg.info](https://www.bamberg.info/poi/kunstraum_kesselhaus-44157/?utm_source=openai))
