Steel becomes featherlight: Manuela Tirler ignites poetry in space

Name: Manuela Tirler - BACK TO THE ROOTS
Start: 2026-05-12T21:00:00+02:00

Back to the Roots: Steel becomes a light drawing in space

The sculptor Manuela Tirler transforms massive steel into floating lines, vegetative shapes, and three-dimensional space drawings at the Kunstverein Aalen. The exhibition spans from finely structured wire forms to plastic settings made of reinforced concrete - always with an event atmosphere that combines calm, curiosity, and concentrated audience mood.

Material meets poetry: the special handwriting

Bent and welded reinforcement bars, visible weld seams, and the reddish-brown rust patina shape the event experience. Instead of heaviness, lightness arises: lines climb, grow, and branch out - without imitating nature. This tension between rawness and elegance makes the works haptic and visually immediate.

Curated exhibition experience in the Old Town Hall

On the first floor of the Old Town Hall, the works unfold their effect in clear sight axes. Precise event planning ensures good orientation, pleasant pathways, and a calm target audience approach for art lovers, architecture and design enthusiasts, as well as curious newcomers.
