Upcoming exhibitions

Spaces that resonate, colours that breathe: this exhibition presents a multi-layered chapter of Ingeborg Kuhler’s oeuvre, bringing together travel sketches, watercolours and technical drawings to create a dialogue that renders architecture tangible as visual poetry. Her most famous building, the towering, wedge-shaped Technoseum in Mannheim, already demonstrated the architect’s consistent merging of space and movement into a single, dynamic narrative.

Born in Dachau in 1943, Ingeborg Kuhler shaped German building culture since the 1980s – as a designer, pioneer, and the first female design professor at a West German architecture faculty, today’s Berlin University of the Arts. Drawing on her academic and practical experience, she now creates art in a medium lighter than concrete yet equally powerful: watercolours on paper.

Kuhler’s works on paper are often created in series. Bold colours overlap and interlock like the supporting layers of a building, while lines direct the eye and open up intermediate spaces, allowing light to penetrate. Each picture is a lyrical dedication to place, to space; each colour tone an invitation to measure your own perception.

The exhibition is divided into two rooms, arranged according an atmospheric rather than chronological principle. The first room presents the architect’s painterly work; the second is dedicated to the Technoseum project. Here, the building is revealed not only through Kuhler’s drawings but also through Ivan Němec’s artistic photography.

Poems of Spaces and Colours invites you not only to see architecture, but also to hear it, to feel it – indeed, to read it like a poem. Between line and surface, mass and light, Ingeborg Kuhler reveals the silent music of our built world.

A catalogue will be published to accompany the exhibition.
