SpaceinSpace: Contemporary Art in the Historical Weytter Tower
With the concept exhibition SpaceinSpace, the Weytter Tower in Straubing transforms into a multi-layered place of contemporary art from November 7 to December 13, 2026. The exhibition is curated by Anna-K. Mader-Brandes and Anna Eibl-Eibesfeldt and presents artistic positions by women within the special spatial sequence of the historic defensive tower.
Art in Dialogue with Architecture
The Weytter Tower was presumably built starting in 1477 as part of the Straubing city fortifications and today offers a striking atmosphere for exhibitions across four floors and in five rooms. In SpaceinSpace, contemporary art engages in an immediate dialogue with masonry, confinement, height, and vertical spatial effects. The historic architecture does not form a neutral background but becomes an integral part of the artwork observation.
Female Perspectives and Curatorial Setting
The concept exhibition focuses on artistic positions by women and connects different forms of expression within a consciously imposed curatorial structure. The exhibition title refers to spaces that open within a larger space: to inner and outer perspectives, proximity and distance, as well as the relationship between artwork, viewer, and exhibition architecture.
Aesthetic Experience in the Tower
The exhibition atmosphere arises from the interplay of historic interiors and contemporary art. Different scales, materials, colors, and shapes relate to the characteristic spatial structure of the Weytter Tower. The art experience thrives on the concentrated movement through the spaces and that sensual attention that allows for an immediate aesthetic experience.
Cultural Education through Close Observation
The exhibition invites viewers to consider art not just as a single work but as a spatially curated complex. Questions about female authorship, artistic self-positioning, and the relationship between work and place open points of connection for cultural education. Each artwork observation thus becomes an encounter with different forms of contemporary perception.
Conclusion: A Unique Exhibition Visit in Straubing
SpaceinSpace connects contemporary art, curatorial reflection, and the impressive architecture of the Weytter Tower. Art enthusiasts can expect a concentrated art experience with changing perspectives, historic spatial effects, and diverse female viewpoints. Those wishing to experience art in immediate dialogue with a unique location should visit this exhibition live in Straubing.
