Mapping Nature: An artistic kickoff between landscape, form, and perception

With the vernissage Mapping Nature, the Kunst_Raum Weiherhof in Augsburg opens its first exhibition and makes a notable mark in the cultural calendar of the city. Paper works by Henrike Franz and sculptures by Hyojoo Jang will be shown, two positions that question nature not illustratively but as a space for thought and experience. The opening will take place on June 11, 2026, from 7 to 9 PM at Ludwigstraße 26. ([augsburg-city.de](https://www.augsburg-city.de/events/56959-vernissage-mapping-nature/))

A dialogue of line, surface, and plastic density

Henrike Franz develops a precise visual language in her works that directs attention to landscapes, geographical traces, and historical references. Her paper works open a space of quiet concentration, where drawing, rhythm, and materiality create a delicate poetic tension. The exhibition emphasizes an art that does not depict nature but maps it, remembers it, and transforms it into aesthetic experience.

Scuplpture as an encounter of human, production, and nature

Hyojoo Jang, born in 1988 in Busan and based in Munich, combines organic and artificial suggestions in her sculptures into an independent visual language. Her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich with Stephan Huber and Alexandra Bircken, as well as her international exhibitions and presence in collections, underscore her artistic authority in the field of contemporary sculpture. In Augsburg, her works unfold a spatial presence that oscillates between body, matter, and imagination. ([hyojoojang.com](https://hyojoojang.com/info.html?utm_source=openai))

Premiere for the Kunst_Raum Weiherhof

The vernissage has special significance beyond the exhibition: the Kunst_Raum Weiherhof presents itself for the first time with a public art project in Augsburg. The venue aims to become a future cultural center with educational offerings and mediation formats; until the planned opening in 2027, the exhibition remains a rare insight into the creation of a new art space. Access is barrier-free, and registration is not required. During the exhibition period from June 12 to June 25, 2026, opening times are Tuesday and Wednesday from 2 PM to 6 PM and Thursday from 2 PM to 7 PM; additional hours apply for the Theaterviertelfest and Long Art Night.

Curatorial tension and cultural education

Particularly appealing is the dialogue between the two artists: Here the artistically condensed reflection on landscapes, there the sculptural questioning of material and form. The result is an art experience that addresses art-historically interested individuals, families, young visitors, and the audience of cultural education alike. The temporary nature of the exhibition enhances the atmosphere: those attending this vernissage will experience not only artworks but the beginning of a new cultural place.

Conclusion: Mapping Nature promises an inspiring evening of contemporary paper art, sculptural presence, and the emergence of a new art space in Augsburg. Those who want to experience current contemporary art in the interplay of nature, material, and form should attend this premiere live.
