Desire – perfect world

Joint Exhibition

The longing for an ideal world moves people, especially in times of personal and social shocks and challenges. On September 15, 2023 at 7 p.m., the exhibition on the topic "Longing - ideal world" will open in the Kunstraum Backstube. As part of the vernissage, the artists introduce themselves to one another and take the audience into the creation of the individual works. Ulrike E Sticher will paint live and show part I of her performance "Desire - perfect world".

But what is the desire for a perfect world all about? Is the desire for a perfect world a phantom; just an idea that gives hope, combined with the desire to be able to experience it now and today? Is this desire something that drives people internally to search in order to find and is it perhaps a deep, never-satisfied need of people in the hunt for harmony and peace? What does a perfect world mean? What does it look like and where can we find it? Can we create one or will it remain just a sweet dream?

Diversity in a Square – Diversity in Togetherness

group exhibition

The "Artists Night" organized by "K im Fluss" has been taking place in the Orangery Darmstadt since 2014. The exhibition "Vielfalt im Quadrat – Vielfalt im Miteinander" (Diversity in a Square – Diversity in Togetherness) provides an insight into the highlights of previous events, into the joint creation of art and the solidarity between artists.

The artists involved come from Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg and Cyprus. The exhibition shows, on one hand, the diversity of the participants in their expression and level of development as artists and, on the other hand, how collaboration can be possible in this diversity and can lead to great results.

Ulrike E Sticher and Manuel Steinhoff

“Der Klang von Farben" (The Sound of Colors) is an exhibition of object images and a room-filling, walk-in installation by the artist Ulrike E Sticher, which enter into a dialogue in the invisible space with sounds composed by the musician Manuel Steinhoff. The exhibition can still be seen until November 24, 2021.

Guided by questions like “How does a color sound?” “What sound could it have?” Manuel Steinhoff and Ulrike E Sticher set out to sound out three colors and find the appropriate sounds. The exhibition takes visitors into a unique color and sound experience for seeing and hearing.

The creation process up to the presentation of the impressive result was accompanied by the photographer and filmmaker Sergej Falk.
