Of Lines and Wings: An Exhibition about Writing, Material, and Poetic Transformation
At the Cultural Forum “Blue House” in Dießen on Lake Ammersee, Of Lines and Wings presents a delicate calligraphy meeting sculptural metal art. The group exhibition brings together two artists from Andechs: Kathrin Balling and Hans Aumann. Both open a space where signs, shapes, and found objects condense into a quiet yet vibrant art experience.
Writing Becomes Image, Image Becomes Thought
Kathrin Balling dissolves the boundary between writing and visual art. Her works arise from literary and philosophical impulses that she transfers with technical precision onto canvas, paper, or wood. Writing here appears not just as a mere message but as a design element, a visible stroke that rhythmically, concentratedly, and often cryptically reveals thoughts. Those who engage with this artwork discover an art of reduction, concentration, and conscious lingering.
Metal, Humor, and the Dignity of the Unremarkable
Hans Aumann transforms metal scrap and old tools into poetic sculptures full of character and wit. From saw blades, wrenches, and found materials, he creates rusty birds and lively figures that do not hide their origins but instead transmute them into new meanings. His art in the everyday gives the material a second biography. This is where the special exhibition atmosphere lies: the raw and playful, the heavy and light enter into a surprising dialogue.
A Dialogue of Contrasts
The curation of this exhibition relies on contrast and resonance. Lines and wings, writing and metal, intimacy and objectness meet in a shared poetic space. The exhibition invites visitors not only to observe art but to read, decode, and experience it sensually. It appeals to those seeking cultural education, aesthetic experience, and contemporary art within a concentrated framework.
Location, Opening Times, and Visitor Experience
The exhibition can be seen from June 14 to 20, 2026, daily from 12 to 5 PM at the Cultural Forum “Blue House” in Dießen on Lake Ammersee. Admission is free. This offers easy access to a demanding, educational art experience, making it ideal for a tranquil summer visit by Lake Ammersee.
Conclusion
Of Lines and Wings promises a concentrated art experience between calligraphy and sculpture, between poetic sign art and humorous metal transformation. Anyone wanting to experience the encounter of language, material, and form live should definitely visit this exhibition in Dießen on Lake Ammersee.
