SCULPTURE today at the Ostalbkreis District Office: Contemporary Sculpture in Aalen
With SCULPTURE today, the Ostalbkreis District Office offers a focused look at the present of sculpture in Baden-Württemberg. The exhibition brings together 27 artists from the Association of Freelance Sculptors of Baden-Württemberg, showcasing how vibrant sculpture remains between figure, abstraction, and contemporary spatial form.
An art experience between material, space, and presence
Visitors to this exhibition experience not just a mere hanging of objects, but an Aesthetic Experience in the tension between volume, surface, and light. Sculpture unfolds here as a work observation in space: plastic bodies interact with the architecture, pathways, and sightlines of the building.
27 positions, a wide range of sculptural signatures
The participating sculptors represent a broad stylistic range. Figurative, abstract, and other contemporary positions encounter each other with clear stance. This diversity is precisely what makes the charm of the exhibition: it conveys how differently material, form, and artistic language are used in contemporary sculpture.
The Association of Freelance Sculptors of Baden-Württemberg has considered itself a union of professional sculptors since 1972 and presents contemporary sculpture with a high quality standard. This curated selection places sculpture as an independent artistic discipline in the spotlight while also enhancing cultural education in public space.
An exhibition theme close to the city and the present
Especially in the Ostalbkreis District Office, the exhibition gains a special impact: the art event meets visitors in an everyday building and transforms administrative spaces into a place of contemplation for weeks. This creates a low-threshold access to art, enabling both spontaneous encounters and deeper contemplation.
Guided tour at the end of the exhibition
On the occasion of the exhibition's closure, a guided tour will take place on June 10, 2026 at 5:00 PM. This adds to the museum-like mediation of the visit: backgrounds on contemporary sculpture, material aesthetics, and the position of the Association of Freelance Sculptors can be explored in more detail in dialogue.
Conclusion
SCULPTURE today promises a concentrated art experience for all those who want to not only see modern sculpture but experience it spatially. Between figurative presence, abstract condensation, and material-related form power, the exhibition invites guests to experience art directly on site. A visit to Aalen is worthwhile, especially for those who appreciate contemporary sculpture with clear, intelligent, and sensual impact.
