SCULPTURE today: Contemporary Sculpture at the Ostalbkreis District Office
The exhibition SCULPTURE today brings the present of sculpture right into the daily life of the city of Aalen. At the Ostalbkreis District Office, figurative, abstract, and experimental works meet a public space that not only displays art but translates it into new perspectives and spatial effects.
An exhibition with many voices of form
The Professional Association of Visual Artists of Baden-Württemberg presents a multilingual panorama of contemporary sculpture with 27 participating positions. The selection ranges from clearly contoured body images to open, material-oriented forms. It is precisely this diversity that makes the exhibition appealing: wood, stone, metal, and other materials unfold their own presence, while volume, surface, and shadow play create both a physical and intellectual art experience.
Space, Material, and Aesthetic Experience
Those who walk through the exhibition experience sculpture not as a silent object but as dialogical art in space. The works respond to architecture, light, and distance. Sometimes lines condense into a quiet, almost meditative form, while at other times a gesture opens into the space. This creates an exhibition atmosphere that sharpens perception and opens the view for the craftsmanship and conceptual power of current sculpture.
Art Historical Classification and Cultural Education
SCULPTURE today ties into the long tradition of sculpture while showing how vibrant sculpture remains in the 21st century. Between figuration and abstraction, between material aesthetics and idea, questions of body, surface, duration, and transformation are negotiated. For art-interested visitors, this results in a format of cultural education that is both informative and inspiring.
Guided Tour at the Exhibition's End
Until June 12, 2026, the exhibition is accessible during the usual opening hours of the Ostalbkreis District Office. To conclude the exhibition, a guided tour will take place on June 10 at 5:00 PM, deepening the focus on central works, artistic positions, and sculptural processes.
Conclusion
SCULPTURE today is worth a visit for all who want to experience contemporary art not just visually but spatially. The exhibition connects artistic diversity, art historical depth, and immediate visual appeal. Anyone wanting to experience current sculpture in its full range should see this presentation live in Aalen.
