Beastly awesome – Creatures from another world

In the churches you often find monstrous creatures that make you think more of a fantasy film. Where do these creatures come from and why are they found in churches of all places?

Tangible delicate | Finissage with film derby

Until mid-October, our exhibition “Tangible delicate” shows the glass, metal and alabaster sculptures of the renowned Berlin sculptor Susanne Roewer. With a high degree of sensuality and irrepressible power, the artist creates works that seem primordial and futuristic at the same time. The dream-like figures combine pressing political-social themes with religious and literary references. Sometimes her installations are light and airy, characterised by transparency and a shimmering sheen, sometimes they are iron and heavy, firmly adhering to the ground. They show the viewer a world outside the everyday, where opposites meet and living things are created from inorganic matter.

For the exhibition’s finissage on Saturday, 14 October at 5 p.m., Susanne Roewer will once again come to Rottenburg for a cosy evening with film derby. A series of short films and film snippets of an artistic nature are shown in the museum. There is time for snacks and a glass of wine before, between and after the films.

Reichenau Artists’ Days

Ideas of what is sacred have always sought and continue to seek the proximity of the language of art in order to articulate themselves. The “sacred” can initially be understood very openly – with the sociologist of religion Hans Joas as that which can in some way take hold, that which is able to pull individuals or communities beyond themselves. And in such experiences of “self-delimitation or self-exaggeration” then lies an “affective certainty”: a certainty in which – “binding force” develops “whose strength goes beyond everyday experiences” (Hans Joas, Die Macht des Heiligen, 2017, p. 434).

Art can therefore be understood as opening a sensual access to the permanently nonsensual sacred, evoking in a corporeal-material sense, paradoxically representing the transcendent: in its unrepresentability. Art that sees itself in this way is always more than a visual or perceptual object. Their works are powerful media and make themselves and something OTHER appear. They awaken imagination and imagination that goes beyond what is shown, they construct, envision, stage and iconise. That which is thus represented is present and absent at the same time: traces … traces.

The Reichenau Artists’ Days 2023, for which the Kunstverein der Diözese Rottenburg-Stuttgart is responsible, will go in search of traces through listening, seeing, exchanging and reflecting. A search for traces, which the conference will by no means lead to a goal, but which should perhaps be opened at the very beginning. The programme sketches a possible horizon of such a common search for traces and wants to inspire to get involved in corresponding paths.

The preparation team and the board are looking forward to being together in Hersberg. We also welcome the members of the Community of Christian Artists from the Archdiocese of Freiburg.

For further information on registration and the programme, please see the attached flyer.

WHAT A LOT OF ACTION!

Pssst, … hey you there! Do you know me yet?

I’m Lexi and I live here at the Diocesan Museum. More than 500 years ago, an artist painted me with a brush and paint. That was in the Middle Ages, when there were still real knights and brave princesses! That was so exciting!

Come and visit me sometime! If you look closely, you can definitely spot me!
I’m looking forward to seeing you! See you soon!


Susanne Roewer: Tangible delicate – MEET THE ARTIST

Susanne Roewer’s works transform the garden and rooms of the museum into a suggestive landscape. Immerse yourself in a world full of poetry and experience impressions from the vernissage of the exhibition, accompanied by the words of the artist.

Susanne Roewer (*1971 in Bad Schlema) first studied materials science at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg before switching to sculpture and graphics at the Berlin University of the Arts. After graduation she founded the G7 Berlin Network Gallery and subsequently cooperated with various collectors and funding programmes in Switzerland. Her works can be seen all over the world.


Summer holiday programme of the town of Rottenburg

Dragon’s blood and purple snail, inkstone and hen’s egg – painting like in the Middle Ages

We take a trip into the exciting world of the Middle Ages and explore the paintings of the Diocesan Museum.

Depictions of the Virgin Mary throughout history

Starry wreath, protective cloak, breastplate – depictions of Mary throughout history

What is behind the Mary in St. Michael in Tübingen?

In St Michael’s there have been considerations for some time to replace the figure of Mary in the church – after all, according to the conviction of some, it is not a representation of Mary. So that the congregation and the parish council can form their own opinion, Dr Melanie Prange, diocesan curator and director of the Diocesan Museum Rottenburg, will report on representations of Mary throughout history and the connections with the image of women at the time.

 

Place: Parish Hall St. Michael

Date: 13 June 2023, 7.15 pm

Tangible delicate – Vernissage with Poetry Slam

A world full of poetry

The Diocesan Museum’s garden and exhibition spaces will be the scene of bold contrasts and surprising encounters this summer.  From fragile glass bubbles clinging to rough alabaster surfaces to bronze figures radiating gentle delicacy – in the works of Susanne Roewer, the most diverse, seemingly incompatible materials come together to form a poetic unity. The exhibition Tangible delicate (8 July – 14 October 2023) in Rottenburg shows sculptures and installations by the Berlin sculptress that defy the rules of gravity and enchant the viewer with their grace and powerful fragility.

We cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition with a poetry slam on Saturday, 8 July, 6 pm!

Poetry slam is performed stage literature. Different poets from all over Germany will meet in the garden of the museum and seminary. A firework of poetry and prose, sometimes performed loudly, sometimes quietly. And as always, the audience decides who wins the evening.

The evening will be moderated by Asli Kücük, Landestheater Tübingen, and Wehwalt Koslovski, poetry slam pioneer and world champion. Since 1994, Koslovski has performed over 2500 times on stages in Europe, the USA and Japan. He lives and works as a freelance stage poet, reciter, literary organiser, lecture traveller, speech & language coach and art teacher in Berlin.
