Collective Body: Six Artistic Positions in Dialogue
The exhibition Collective Body brings together six artists from Chemnitz and Düsseldorf at the Johanna Ey Foundation. Lavinia Chianello, Osmar Osten, and Ivonne Dippmann meet Jannika Frangen, Wolfgang Hambrecht, and Simone Letto. The exhibition opens on October 9, 2026, at 5 PM and explores the possibilities that arise from the interplay of individual artistic attitudes.
Artistic Voices Between Chemnitz and Düsseldorf
The title of the exhibition refers to a body that is understood not as a closed unit, but as a living structure. Different experiences, working methods, and visual languages relate to one another. Thus, an exhibition space is created in which painting, drawing, sculpture, and contemporary artistic concepts remain visible as independent positions while simultaneously forming a common resonance space.
Artwork Observation and Aesthetic Experience
The encounter of the six positions invites a concentrated observation of the artworks. Colors, forms, materials, and spatial effects develop a special exhibition atmosphere through dialogue. The art experience arises not only from the individual work but also from the transitions between the works: proximity and distance, contrast and correspondence, individual handwriting and collective perception.
Curating as Cultural Exchange
The Johanna Ey Foundation stands for the promotion of young art and cultural exchange in Düsseldorf. Named after Johanna Ey, the legendary patron of the Düsseldorf avant-garde, the foundation carries on a legacy that connects encounter, openness, and artistic development. Collective Body links to this tradition and makes cultural education accessible as an immediate aesthetic experience.
An Evening for Contemporary Art
The opening offers art enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the participating positions together for the first time and engage with different forms of contemporary art. The exhibition focuses on the relationship between individuality and community, thereby opening an inspiring approach to current questions of art production and perception.
Conclusion: Collective Body promises a multi-voiced art experience between personal expressiveness and shared resonance. Those who wish to experience contemporary art in direct exchange with various artist personalities will find an inspiring place for aesthetic experience, dialogue, and cultural enrichment at the Johanna Ey Foundation.
