Sculptures full of lightness: Manuela Tirler conquers the space

The exhibition 'BACK TO THE ROOTS' at the Kunstverein Aalen features the sculptress Manuela Tirler, who lives in Plochingen, with impressive steel sculptures and spatial drawings. Between rust-colored surfaces and fine lines, an event experience unfolds that brings nature, form, and materiality into balance – an intense look at contemporary sculpture.

Atmosphere: Steel that breathes

Reinforced steel rods and iron wire form linear, vegetative structures that appear surprisingly open and light – an exciting contrast to the hardness of the material. The event atmosphere thrives on tranquility, approachability, and clear exhibition design: ideal conditions to perceive details, weld seams, and rust tones as aesthetic accents.

Artistic signature with awards

Tirler studied free sculpture at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart, worked in San Francisco among others, and received the Scultura Art Prize from the Kuberas Foundation in 2024. In 2025, she was appointed city artist of Spaichingen. Her work revolves around nature motifs, growth, and rhythm – here precisely curated and communicated close to the audience.

Organization & Visitor Guidance

The Kunstverein Aalen, a staple in the regional art scene since 1983, ensures clear visitor flows, reliable opening times, and targeted audience engagement with professional event management. On Thursdays, 'Art Day' invites free admission – ideal for spontaneous visits and first contacts with contemporary art.

Audience mood and sensory impressions

The audience mood is focused and curious: muted room noise, occasional conversations about line guidance, shadow casts, and material sound. Those who look closely discover subtle transitions, intersections, and the dialogue between work and architecture – a concentrated event experience without rush.

Conclusion

'BACK TO THE ROOTS' promises a quiet, powerful art event: steel telling nature – precisely hung, intelligently illuminated, close to the work. Take the opportunity to experience Tirler's sculptures live, ask questions, and take away new perspectives.
