Body, space and nature

In her works created especially for this exhibition, renowned artist Franziska Kneidl references her father's stage designs with Peter Zadek and Pina Bausch (Kai Middendorff Gallery).

Not only painting and photography characterize the Saisonstart. Sculpture, installation and conceptual positions also show how diverse the artistic field in Frankfurt is.

At Westend Galerie, Italian-Slovakian artist Sandi Renko explores the interplay between two and three dimensions. His works range from Op Art to kinetic art and geometric abstraction—image surfaces that set the viewer's gaze in motion.

In the netter gallery , on the other hand, the positions in the demo-crazy exhibition refer to places of democracy. Here, art becomes a commentary on social spaces in which political participation is negotiated.

Kai Middendorf's approach is very personal: Frankfurt-based Franziska Kneidl is creating a "space for Karl Kneidl", her father, one of the most important stage designers in the German-speaking world. He himself will be present at the opening - a cross-generational dialog between stage and visual arts.

Miller's gallery is dedicating its Corpus exhibition to representations of the body in African art, while British sculptor John Davies is translating the relationship between humans and their living space into poetic sculptures at ARTE GIANI.

References to nature also characterize the works of Silke Bonde at Schlieder Contemporary. In delicate paper works, the Danish artist explores the fragile relationship between humans and the environment. Equally delicate and filigree are the works of Hitomi Uchikura, which are on display for the first time at Japan Art – Galerie Friedrich Müller.
