Collective Body connects Chemnitz and Düsseldorf in an exhibition full of perspectives

Name: Collective Body
Start: 2026-11-06T17:00:00+01:00

Collective Body: Six Artistic Positions in Dialogue

The exhibition Collective Body brings together three artists from Chemnitz with three positions from Düsseldorf. Lavinia Chianello, Osmar Osten, and Ivonne Dippmann meet Jannika Frangen, Wolfgang Hambrecht, and Simone Letto. In the Johanna Ey Foundation, this creates a multi-voiced panorama of contemporary art and an exhibition space where individual visual languages interact.

Artistic Encounter between Chemnitz and Düsseldorf

The exhibition title refers to a central motif of cultural collaboration: the body as an image of connection, difference, and communal experience. The exhibition brings together different artistic biographies and regional perspectives. Chemnitz and Düsseldorf do not appear as opposites, but as art places that relate to each other.

Artwork Examination and Aesthetic Experience

The artistic experience thrives on the juxtaposition of different positions. Painting, drawing, sculpture, or installation are made visible in the examination of the works as independent forms of expression. Colors, shapes, materials, and spatial effects open up a sensual approach to contemporary art. The exhibition atmosphere invites viewers to attentively perceive similarities and breaks between the works.

The Johanna Ey Foundation as a Place of Exchange

The Johanna Ey Foundation promotes cultural exchange between Düsseldorf and its partner cities through exhibitions, residency programs, and other cultural projects. Its location on Neubrückstraße connects to the legacy of the Düsseldorf art promoter Johanna Ey, who supported avant-garde artists in the 1920s. The exhibition Collective Body continues this idea of artistic dialogue in the present.

Conclusion: Contemporary Art as a Shared Experiential Space

Collective Body promises a concentrated art experience between regional anchoring, artistic diversity, and cultural encounter. Visitors experience six positions that open the view on community, individuality, and contemporary imagery. A visit to the Johanna Ey Foundation enriches the aesthetic experience and makes the value of living artistic contacts immediately tangible.
