Space, Material, and Perception: Kathrin Hubl in the Art Space Kesselhaus

With “Spatial Research”, an exhibition opens at the Art Space Kesselhaus in Bamberg that places sculpture, material aesthetics, and architecture in a precise dialogue. From August 8, 2026 to September 20, 2026, the BBK Oberfranken e.V. presents plastic works by Kathrin Hubl, whose works condense wood, rubber, cardboard, plastic, and packaging materials into an intense artwork contemplation. The exhibition connects contemporary art with the unique spatial effect of the Kesselhaus and makes the exhibition atmosphere itself part of the art experience.

Material as an Artistic Language

Kathrin Hubl works with a sculptural approach that consistently shifts the familiar. Narrow wooden strips grow into airy objects up to two meters high, bicycle inner tubes appear organic, and plastic trays unfold as space-consuming ribbons. Her work questions the materiality of things and what we see before we truly recognize it. Art portals and expert articles describe this practice as a poetic inquiry into the material, where wood becomes not only a material but also a space of thought.

The Kesselhaus as a Resonance Space

The Art Space Kesselhaus is one of the prominent places for contemporary art in Bamberg. The Bamberg Art Association sees itself as a mediator between art and the audience and shows changing exhibitions of painting, graphics, sculpture, photography, installation, and performance. This is why Hubl's spatial intervention appears so convincing here: The architecture becomes not just a backdrop but a collaborator in an aesthetic experience where lines of sight, volume, and material tension mutually enhance each other.

Education, Encounter, and Supplementary Offers

The exhibition includes a workshop for children aged 8 and up on August 14, 2026 at 4 PM: Crafting Animals from Wood, Air, and Strings. The participation fee is 10 Euros. Thus, the exhibition expands its profile to include cultural education and museum pedagogical mediation, which playfully introduces younger visitors to material, form, and construction.
