SHIFT OF VISION in Augsburg: See abstraction anew, think color anew
The Kunsthalle Augsburg in the Glaspalast opens with SHIFT OF VISION, a focused exhibition on contemporary abstract painting. Three independent positions – Jutta Haeckel, Peter Krauskopf, and Moritz Neuhoff – unfold an intense art experience between color, material, and perception. The exhibition atmosphere of the historic industrial building frames the viewing of the works impressively.
Color as an Event: Painting between Skin, Depth, and Light
Haeckel, Krauskopf, and Neuhoff explore how surfaces charge in painting and image carriers: Layering, prints, cuts, and glazes create vibrating spatial effects. The sensual quality of the materials – pasty traces, delicate veils, polished sections – makes abstraction physically tangible and transforms the aesthetic experience into a question of our own perception.
Curatorial Precision: Three Handwritings, One Discourse
The curation focuses on clear contrasts and thematic axes. Questions about image carriers, process, and time condense: Painting as a trace, as an intervention, as a sedimented history. The exhibition opens up art-historical references to painting since the post-war modern era, without losing contemporary access – a compact panorama of New Ways of Abstraction.
Industrial Architecture as a Resonance Space
The Glaspalast, completed in 1910 according to plans by Philipp Jakob Manz, offers large halls with ideal sightlines. Daylight, clear grids, and supporting columns enhance the spatial effect of the installations and series of images – the architecture becomes a silent player of the works and sharpens the view for color, form, and image surface.
Voices of the Visitors
The reactions of the visitors are clear: SHIFT OF VISION delights art enthusiasts. On Facebook, a visitor writes: 'Rarely experienced an exhibition where surface and depth find such clever harmony.' Another comment praises the curation: 'Three strong positions that give each other space – this is how contemporary art is done in Augsburg.'
Conclusion: Learning to See in the Rhythm of Color
SHIFT OF VISION promises a dense viewing of works and a pleasantly precise curation. Those who want to experience the poetic power of abstract painting will find a school of seeing here: Color becomes an event, material becomes meaning. Recommendation: Definitely visit live – for a sustainable art experience in the Kunsthalle Augsburg in the Glaspalast.
