Collective Bodies: Six Artistic Positions in Dialogue
The exhibition Collective Bodies brings together six artists from Chemnitz and Düsseldorf at the Johanna Ey Foundation on October 30, 2026. Lavinia Chianello, Osmar Osten, and Ivonne Dippmann meet Jannika Frangen, Wolfgang Hambrecht, and Simone Letto. The exhibition title refers to a shared reflection on bodies, community, and the relationships between individual artistic positions.
Art between Chemnitz and Düsseldorf
The group exhibition is characterized by cultural exchange. Different experiences, working methods, and aesthetic perspectives meet in a shared exhibition space. The curation draws attention to the productive tension between individuality and interplay.
Work Observation and Aesthetic Experience
The art experience arises from the juxtaposition of various artistic languages. Painting, drawing, sculpture, or installation can be read as forms of a visual conversation. Lines, colors, materials, and spatial effects relate to each other and open up an intense observation of the works.
The Johanna Ey Foundation as a Place of Exchange
The Johanna Ey Foundation promotes art, young artistic positions, and cultural exchange in Düsseldorf. Its name recalls Johanna Ey, who acted as a patron of the avant-garde and a central figure in Düsseldorf's art scene in the 1920s. The exhibition connects to this tradition of open dialogue between artists and the audience.
Vernissage and Visit
The exhibition opening begins on Friday, October 30, 2026, at 5 PM. Visitors can expect a concentrated exhibition atmosphere in the rooms of the Johanna Ey Foundation in Düsseldorf's Old Town. The exhibition invites visitors to notice differences, discover connections, and experience the aesthetic encounter of communal art observation live.
Conclusion
Collective Bodies gathers six artistic voices and turns the exhibition space into a place of lively dialogue between Chemnitz and Düsseldorf. Art enthusiasts will experience an exhibition about closeness, difference, and communal perception. A visit to the opening enriches cultural education and opens new perspectives on contemporary art.
