16th Triennial Exhibition of Small Sculptures24.05. - 28.09.2025
Alte Kelter Fellbach

Terms such as cohabitation and equality, empathy and care also highlight the struggle for new collective narratives that could describe a possible change. The exhibition therefore also negotiates approaches to a new understanding of nature, not in the sense of naturalising humans or anthropomorphising nature, but in the sense of an equal community of survival.

During the exhibition, the Alte Kelter in Fellbach itself becomes a habitat. The exhibition can be experienced as a sensual, aesthetic landscape. The artistic positions are embedded in it, while at the same time creating spaces for lingering and exchange. The range of artworks extends from traditional small sculptures to aluminium and tin casts, 3D scans, architectural models, hybrid objects made of natural and artificial materials, and design objects such as shoes made of organic materials. In addition, the artists make invisible phenomena such as air pollution from fine dust or the impact of radioactive particles on the earth visible. Experimental artistic arrangements take a speculative look at possible futures.

The curator is Claudia Emmert, director and managing director of the Zeppelin Museum for Technology and Art in Friedrichshafen, and the co-curator is Ina Neddermeyer, director of the Museum Giersch at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main.
