Carl Hager's “Message in a Bottle”: Art between Sound, Movement, and Found Objects
With “Message in a Bottle”, the Galerie Peter Tedden in Düsseldorf presents an exhibition by the artist Carl Hager. The visit on November 12, 2026 leads to an exhibition that makes Hager's playful engagement with material, movement, and perception tangible.
Material becomes its own language
Carl Hager was born in 1965 in Duisburg, studied from 1992 to 1999 at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Alfonso Hüppi, and now lives and works in Düsseldorf. His works combine everyday materials, found objects, and technical elements into unusual sculptures and installations.
Between Sound Bodies and Kinetic Imagination
In Hager's work, wood, copper wire, Styrofoam, water, pumps, plaster, and found objects come together. Works such as “Sound Wheel”, “Fountain-World-Me”, “Painting Machine”, and “Sound Body” showcase an art that conceptualizes movement, noise, and visual surprise. The exhibition invites visitors to read familiar materials anew and sharpen their perspective on sculpture.
A Düsseldorf artist in a familiar place
The Galerie Peter Tedden has accompanied Carl Hager's artistic development for several years. His biography includes, among other things, a scholarship at the Etaneno Museum in the Bush in Namibia, as well as the Lichtenberg Studios in Berlin. Exhibitions such as “I like fishing” and the “Great NRW Exhibition” mark important milestones in his versatile work.
Exhibition visit in Düsseldorf's Old Town
“Carl Hager: Message in a Bottle” can be seen from October 11 to November 18, 2026 at the Galerie Peter Tedden. On November 12, the gallery is open from 3 PM to 7 PM. The central location on Mutter-Ey-Strasse connects the exhibition visit with the special urban flair of Düsseldorf's Old Town.
Conclusion: Discovering art that remains in motion
Visitors can expect a sensory exhibition between sculpture, installation, and material experiments. Those who want to experience Carl Hager's idiosyncratic visual language live and discover the unusual sound and object worlds of “Message in a Bottle” should mark the date in the Galerie Peter Tedden.
