The exhibition takes as its starting point the question of how colour manifests itself: not as a surface or a property,
but as something that takes shape through light, material and movement.
Here, colour is revealed as an unstable state that unfolds at the moment of perception and simultaneously eludes us.
The exhibition unfolds as a tapestry of diverse approaches, in which historical and contemporary perspectives intertwine.
Here, colour is not merely described, but made tangible as something that constantly shifts as one looks, walks
and interacts with the space.
Jean Miotte (1926–2016)
Drawing on gestural abstraction, Jean Miotte presents painting as a direct expression of energy and rhythm.
Günther Uecker (1930–2025)
In Günther Uecker’s watercolours, colour coalesces into a minimalist, atmospheric quality that lies somewhere between landscape and movement.
David Fried (* 1962)
David Fried’s reflective sculptures create an ever-changing play of colours in interaction with their surroundings.
Georg Olliges (* 1953)
Georg Olliges’s informal works present colour as an immediate, physical gesture that balances control and openness.
Anica Hauswald (* 1985)
Anica Hauswald’s gestural paintings treat colour as an action and, through movement, develop open, ever-changing pictorial structures.
