Space, Material and Perception in the Art Space Kesselhaus
With the exhibition Space Research, Kathrin Hubl opens a precisely composed cosmos of wood, rubber, cardboard, and plastic in the Kesselhaus Bamberg. The solo exhibition connects sculptural works, large-format material images, and spatial installations into an art experience that not only plays with architecture but also includes it in the contemplation of the works.
When Material Becomes Movement
Kathrin Hubl works with a rare sensitivity to texture and form. Narrow wooden slats condense into airy objects that are up to two meters high, processed tire tubes take on organically graceful contours, and a long band made from plastic trays stretches through the Kesselhaus like a spatial sign. The result is an exhibition atmosphere where lightness and density, order and organic dynamics are in a poised balance.
The Kesselhaus as Part of the Work
The title Space Research refers to the central theme of the exhibition: the interplay of art and architecture. The high, light-filled industrial architecture with its distinctive shed roof construction is not merely a backdrop, but an active resonance space for the works. This is where the aesthetic experience of this exhibition lies: sculpture, material image, and space form an open structure that sharpens perception and makes the familiar appear anew.
Visual Arts as a School of Seeing
The works of Kathrin Hubl connect to a traditional yet contemporary language of plastic art. Here, wood does not appear as a rigid material, but as a moldable medium with an almost textile character. The material images made of corrugated cardboard and smaller works from packaging materials extend this approach towards collage, assemblage, and object art. Thus, an exhibition emerges that translates art historical questions about material, perception, and space into a directly sensual form.
Accompanying Program for Young Art Discoverers
The exhibition includes a workshop for children aged 8 and older on 14.08.2026 at 16:00: Making Animals from Wood, Air, and Strings. The cost is 10 euros. This makes the exhibition a place for cultural education where artistic techniques can be playfully experienced.
Conclusion: An Exhibition for Everyone Who Wants to See Spaces with New Eyes
Space Research promises a dense, experimental, and simultaneously sensual encounter with contemporary sculpture. Anyone wanting to experience the relationship between material, architecture, and perception anew should definitely visit this exhibition live at the Kesselhaus Bamberg. Here, art is not explained but made spatially tangible.
