Of Lines and Wings: When Writing Becomes Art and Metal Scraps Become Poetry
The group exhibition Of Lines and Wings at the Cultural Forum Blue House in Dießen am Ammersee connects two artistic positions that appear to be opposites at first glance but meet in an impressive aesthetic experience. Kathrin Balling brings calligraphy to the threshold of free art, while Hans Aumann transforms metal, tools, and found objects into quirky, humorous sculptures. This creates an art experience that oscillates between silence, wit, and material poetry.
Writing as Image, Thought as Form
Kathrin Balling works with literary and philosophical impulses that she translates into precisely set lines, rhythms, and structures. Her works on canvas, paper, and wood open a space for concentrated viewing: writing appears no longer as a mere communication but as a visual element, as a visible trace of thought and condensation. Those who linger before these works discover the subtle gradations between legibility and mystery.
Rust, Found Object, Figure: The Second Skin of the Material
Hans Aumann develops poetic sculptures from metal scraps and old tools with surprising lightness. Saw blades, wrenches, and other remnants of everyday life gain a new identity in his hands: rusty birds, lively figures, and charming objects with character. The materiality remains visible, but it is transformed into a new visual language through imagination, humor, and formal clarity. This is precisely the strength of this exhibition: in the transformation from utility value to art.
A Dialogue of Opposites
The exhibition thrives on the tension between precision and improvisation, between contemplative calligraphy and plastic transformation. Both positions show how art emerges from reduction, attention, and creative curiosity. The Cultural Forum Blue House thus becomes a place of cultural education, where visitors not only see works but also experience processes of seeing, interpreting, and recognizing.
Exhibition Atmosphere in the Blue House
In the bright space of the Cultural Forum, lines, traces of rust, and formal experiments unfold a calm yet stimulating presence. The exhibition is suitable for everyone who appreciates contemporary art, material aesthetics, and art historical context. It invites you to consciously perceive the small shifts between word and image, found object and sculpture, order and imagination.
Conclusion: Of Lines and Wings promises a multifaceted art experience that impressively brings together calligraphy, sculpture, and poetic material transformation. Anyone who wants to engage with art with open senses should definitely visit this exhibition in Dießen am Ammersee in person.
