SCULPTURE today at the Ostalbkreis District Office: Experience Contemporary Sculpture in Aalen

SCULPTURE today: Contemporary Sculpture at the Ostalbkreis District Office

With the exhibition SCULPTURE today, the Ostalbkreis District Office in Aalen opens a focused view of the present-day sculpture. The exhibition gathers works from the Association of Freelance Sculptors Baden-Württemberg and places a medium in the spotlight that equally demands space, material, and bodily perception.

An Artistic Experience Between Material, Space, and Presence

Sculpture unfolds its power not at a distance, but in immediate confrontation. This is exactly where the special exhibition atmosphere of this presentation lies: Volume, surface, light, and shadow enter into a lively relationship. Those who take the contemplation of the works seriously experience not only form but also tension, stillness, and movement simultaneously.

The Diversity of Contemporary Sculpture

The Association of Freelance Sculptors Baden-Württemberg has stood for artistic diversity and quality since 1972. The exhibition showcases positions ranging from figurative to abstract, from sensitively modeled forms to clear, reduced placements. Names like Barbara Jäger, OMI Riesterer, Michaela A. Fischer, Rüdiger Seidt, Heike Endemann, and other members represent different approaches to sculpture in the 21st century.

A Place that Connects Art and Everyday Life

The Ostalbkreis District Office will become a place of cultural education during the exhibition's duration. Especially in an administrative building, art gains a special presence: It interrupts routines, opens the gaze, and creates a space for aesthetic experience amidst public everyday life. This connection between institution and art makes the visit particularly appealing.

Accompanying Program Focused on Mediation

The exhibition includes a guided tour on June 10 at 5:00 PM. The opening on April 15, 2026, at 7:00 PM sets the tone for an attentive dialogue between the audience, art, and public space. Such formats are among the central strengths of museal and curatorial mediation: They deepen perception and make artistic processes comprehensible.

Why a Visit is Worthwhile

SCULPTURE today offers a precise, sensual, and at the same time well-founded approach to contemporary sculpture in Baden-Württemberg. Those who wish to experience form, material, and space in all their intensity should visit this exhibition in Aalen live. It promises not a fleeting showcase but a sustainable art experience that sharpens and expands the view of contemporary sculpture.
