Kitsch or Art? brings the gray area of good taste to Aalen
The gallery in the Aalen Town Hall will become the venue for an exhibition starting in summer 2026, sharpening the view on everyday objects, souvenirs, and judgments of art. Between a roaring stag, porcelain figurines, and landscape paintings, a tour will take place that deliberately keeps the boundary between kitsch and art open. The exhibition runs from July 24 to September 6, 2026, in the gallery in the Aalen Town Hall at Marktplatz 30. Admission is free.

When Taste Becomes a Discussion
The curation relies on a smart, audience-friendly approach: Not only artworks, but also personal objects from everyday life are to raise the question of what is considered beautiful, valuable, or merely decorative. This is exactly where the event atmosphere arises that makes an exhibition lively: concentrated, curious, and with plenty of space for personal thoughts. The city of Aalen sees the exhibition as an open invitation to participate and engage with evaluation patterns in art.
