Radolfzell 3226

Radolfzell is inviting visitors to a special exhibition at Villa Bosch to mark the town’s anniversary. In collaboration with the University of Constance and the Constance University of Applied Sciences (HTWG), students of history, communication design and architecture are developing an innovative and interactive exhibition that looks back 1,200 years and forward 1,200 years at the same time.

The focus is on the idea of a time capsule. For centuries, people have been preserving messages for posterity, hidden in foundation stones, church spires or attics.

They contain things of such great importance that they are meant to stand the test of time and may only be opened in the distant future. The exhibition takes up this tradition and poses the question:

What should Radolfzell leave behind for the future?

Which memories, experiences and hopes are worth preserving for future generations?

Visitors can expect an exhibition that not only provides impressive insights into the history of Radolfzell, but also invites them to explore the challenges of the present and visions for the future.

People can and should therefore contribute their own thoughts and wishes and play an active role in helping to preserve traces of the present for the year 3226.

In the end, everyone decides for themselves: What should be included in a time capsule?

Light Space Resonance

Light Space Resonance – Wolfram Janzer & Bernhard Huber

Two artists, two styles – linked by a keen sense of space, form and light. Photographer Wolfram Janzer and artist Bernhard Huber come together in this exhibition from different directions, but with similar ways of seeing.

Janzer, influenced by his architectural training, seeks the essence of the image in photography: formal rigor, balance, reduction to essential structures. His works avoid mere depiction, instead creating meditative, sensitive pictorial spaces that weave depth and surface into a calm whole.

Huber, who has a background in stained glass, transfers its light-forming qualities to spaces and architectural situations. He uses glass, color and light to modulate spaces, dissolve boundaries and create transitions between transparency and opacity. His works are always site-specific, react sensitively to the given and form new, light-filled spaces of experience.

What they both have in common is their work “on the border”: the deliberate creation of transitions – between surface and space, between reality and abstraction, between the visible and that which eludes quick perception. The rigor of their compositions gives rise to a poetic lightness that turns seeing itself into an event.

Archaic – Organic

The sculptor Pi Ledergerber creates extraordinary stone sculptures that have an astonishingly fragile effect, yet are completely stable. The individual elements of his sculptures made of marble or basalt appear to be loosely stacked or unstably layered, but are always created from a single block through sophisticated saw cuts and are therefore solid. Ledergeber’s works thus explore the tension between heaviness and lightness, appearing both archaically reduced and vividly animated. The artist lives and works in Hohenfels.

The painter and draughtsman Dieter Konsek deals with themes of growth and development in his mostly large-format compositions. The starting point for his gestural-expressive paintings and drawings are intensive observations of nature, which he dissolves openly and fragilely into organic growth processes using acrylic paint, charcoal and pastel chalk on canvas and paper, while at the same time powerfully condensing them. Dynamics, rhythm and transformation characterize the elementary expression of his nature-related works. The artist lives and works in Wilhelmsdorf near Ravensburg.
