Second Level: An exhibition that sharpens the gaze

With Second Level, the Kunstverein Erlangen invites you to an exhibition that consciously expands the perceptual space. 22 female artists present works in the Treppenhaus Gallery, whose motifs, forms, and contents do not end at the first glance but open up a second, intellectual level. The presentation is anchored as a contemporary exhibition of the KVE, showcasing current artistic positions and promoting young talents.

Artwork consideration between surface and depth

The title refers to what distinguishes good art: It does not remain at the visible surface. Especially in the Treppenhaus, a place of transition, the consideration of the artwork gains a particular tension. Spatial effect, light, and movement shape the art experience and make the aesthetic experience immediate. The Treppenhaus Gallery presents photographic art in different forms and is located in an architecturally special staircase in the IZMP in Erlangen.
