Second Level: An exhibition that sharpens the gaze and deepens thought

With Second Level, the Kunstverein Erlangen invites you to an exhibition that makes seeing itself the subject. 22 artists open up a multifaceted art experience in the Treppenhaus gallery, spanning painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture. The works not only engage with motifs and forms but also with memories, the present, and inner resonances.

An exhibition about perception, meaning, and the invisible in the image

The exhibition begins where the first encounter with the work ends. Between surface and depth, between form and content, a dialogue emerges that intensifies the aesthetic experience. Those who take their time will discover new layers in observing the works: details, material traces, compositions, and image references that gradually come to light.

22 artistic positions, a common resonance space

The works of Gudrun Amer, Georg Baier, Frank-Daniel Beilker, Irmingard Beirle, Johannes Birzer, Karin Drechsler-Ruhmann, Woldemar Fuhrmann, Gabriella Héjja, Thomas Hoess, Eva Jakobi, Regina Kehrer, Margit Langenberger, Marisa Leininger, Christian Manhart, Robert Mazurek, Martin Minier, Friedel Neupauer, Oliver Rennen, Reimund Schemmel, Robert Schlund, Ulla Schoedel, and Bettina Specht will be displayed. The diversity of handwriting shapes the exhibition atmosphere and makes the group show a vibrant panorama of contemporary art.

Spatial effect in the Treppenhaus: Art in ascent

The Treppenhaus gallery lends a special architectural tension to the presentation. The location on the second floor alters perception: light, movement, and sight axes accompany the tour and make the works appear in an unusual rhythm. It is precisely this environment that strengthens the impression that art is not only to be viewed but experienced.

Accompanying program and cultural education

A vernissage evening, artist talks, and a playful art experience are announced as part of the exhibition. Such formats open access to contemporary art, encourage exchange, and deepen art historical contextualization. For visitors, this creates an offer that is both inspiring and educational.

Conclusion

Second Level promises an artistic journey through different media, perspectives, and ways of thinking. Those who wish to experience contemporary art in a concentrated form should visit this exhibition live and engage with the quiet power of second contemplation.
