SCULPTURE today: Contemporary Sculpture at the Ostalbkreis District Office

With the exhibition SCULPTURE today, a focused look at the vibrant present of sculpture in Baden-Württemberg opens at the Ostalbkreis District Office in Aalen. The Association of Freelance Sculptors of Baden-Württemberg presents a variety of figurative, abstract, and contemporary positions that transform the administrative building into a place of aesthetic experience for weeks.

A panorama of current sculpture

The exhibition brings together 27 artists and makes visible the diverse ways in which sculpture is conceived and created today. Between clear volumes, organic forms, material-focused surfaces, and subject-oriented approaches, an exploration of works unfolds that impressively showcases the richness of plastic art.

Material, space, and presence

Especially captivating is the encounter with the physical presence of the works in space. Sculpture here thrives on light, shadow, edge, cavity, and compression. This spatial effect makes the tour an artistic experience that not only looks but also makes the relationship between body, material, and movement newly perceptible.

An association with art-historical weight

Since 1972, the BfB has stood for professional sculpture in Baden-Württemberg and is seen as a platform for artistic diversity and quality. The exhibition thus not only shows individual works but also an art-historically relevant network of contemporary sculptors that makes the development of sculpture in the 21st century visible.

Guided tours and visitor experience

Until June 12, 2026, the exhibition can be visited during the regular opening hours of the District Office. At the end of the exhibition, there will be a guided tour on June 10 at 5:00 PM. Those interested in contemporary art, curation, and cultural education will experience a precisely composed showcase with immediate proximity to the materials and signatures of the artists.

Conclusion: SCULPTURE today combines contemporary art, craftsmanship, and sensual presence into a special exhibition visit in Aalen. Those who wish to experience contemporary sculpture in its full range should visit this exhibition live and directly experience the space of sculpture.
