Hard & Soft: Material, Meaning, and Sensory Tension in Würzburg
The exhibition Hard & Soft brings together three independent artistic positions at the BBK Gallery Würzburg. Christiane Gaebert, Margot Garutti, and Helga Schwalt-Scherer explore how metal, NATO wire, feathers, paper, and marble create new fields of tension between hardness, fragility, and meaning.
When Contrasts Become Visible
The exhibition combines sculpture, object art, and spatial perception. Shifts in perspective, tactile experience, and sensory tension characterize the event experience, inviting visitors to engage with materials not only visually but also intellectually and physically.
Steel, Iron, and Organic Materials
Margot Garutti has been working with steel, iron, wire, and organic materials since 1970. Her works represent clarity and contrast; the exhibition showcases a retrospective from various creative periods. The result is a concentrated engagement with form, surface, and weight.
Fragile Forms from Contradictory Materials
Helga Schwalt-Scherer combines marble with NATO wire, transforming a daunting border material into surprisingly fragile forms. A balancing act emerges between beauty and horror, shifting the audience's mood between intimacy and distance repeatedly.
Paper Becomes Space
Christiane Gaebert develops objects from paper and overcomes its apparent fragility. Spatial structures arise from cuts and lines, while shadows create additional levels of meaning. Thus, a calm yet tension-filled event atmosphere unfolds in the gallery.
Opening Hours and Event Planning
The exhibition is accessible on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The BBK Gallery opens on Tuesdays from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and Wednesdays to Sundays from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Every third Thursday of the month offers extended opening hours until 9:00 PM. Admission is free.
