Sculpture in Dialogue: The Association of Freelance Sculptors Baden-Württemberg in Aalen

At the Ostalbkreis District Office, a multifaceted artistic experience unfolds: A curated selection of contemporary sculpture from Baden-Württemberg showcases the range of current positions – from reliefs close to classical painting to plastic form findings and expansive installations. The exhibition is free to access and invites contemplation of the works in a serene exhibition atmosphere.

Form, Material, Space: Aesthetic Experience in the Foyer

Between light and architecture, stone, wood, metal, and mixed media enter into a sensory dialogue. Polished surfaces reflect daylight, while matte patina absorbs it – creating a changing spatial effect that trains the gaze and makes the material poetry of the sculpture tangible. Precise curation creates sight axes; small plastic gestures and monumental volumes develop a shared choreography.

Art Historical Lines: From Atelier Tradition to Installation

The works on display are situated within the artistic direction of sculpture between crafts and conceptual contemporary. Echoes of the southwestern German sculptor tradition meet contemporary form experiments. In the analysis of the works, tensions of mass and emptiness, rhythm and stillness, surface and core emerge – categories that have shaped thinking about plastic since modernity.

The Association: Quality from Baden-Württemberg

The Association of Freelance Sculptors Baden-Württemberg e. V. (BfB) has united professional sculptors of the state since the 1970s. Through exhibitions and projects, the association continuously sets impulses for sculpture and installation in public spaces and institutions. Its program stands for artistic diversity, discourse, and high execution quality.

Education and Mediation: Seeing Art, Asking Questions

The exhibition is suitable for individual contemplation as well as for groups. For a deeper aesthetic experience, a visit during the regular contact hours of the house is recommended; then the spatial impact of the sculptures can be quietly understood and reflected in the context of the architecture.

Conclusion

Those who love the language of sculpture will find concentrated contemporary art from Baden-Württemberg here: diverse in material and attitude, precisely curated, and publicly accessible in the best sense. Treat yourself to this cultural enrichment – live in front of the originals.
