The title of the group exhibition, "Love Affairs," is deliberately ambiguous—because love affairs are not just fleeting romances or intense emotions. They also encompass those deep, often silent relationships that develop between artists and their works—and between art and the public. This exhibition invites visitors to explore precisely these relationships: the intimate, sensual, sometimes enigmatic love affairs with art .

›Love Affairs‹ brings together the works of thirteen exciting contemporary artists. Familiar faces from the gallery meet new artistic perspectives, which we are showing for the first time.

What unites these thirteen artistic positions is less a shared style than an attitude: the willingness to engage with the unknown. An openness to the spaces in between. This exhibition thrives on contrasts: soft lines stand in opposition to angular forms, vibrant colors encounter restrained tonality, stillness meets movement. And yet—or perhaps precisely because of this—a dialogue emerges between the works. They enter into a relationship with one another without needing to explain themselves.

The summer exhibition unites sculptural works with works on paper and showcases installations, where drawing meets painting. The artists reveal their individual love for art and its expressive possibilities. The wealth of materials, representations, and effects demonstrates once again the spectrum of contemporary art and offers us direct insights into the emotional worlds of the exhibiting artists. The love expressed here is not always romantic. It is a love for detail, for form, for idea – and, not least, for the freedom of artistic expression.

With ›Love Affairs‹ we explore these intimate relationships within art: between artist, artwork, and viewer. What is conveyed, what feelings are evoked, what emotions and perhaps memories are awakened within us?

›Love Affairs‹ is a game of closeness and distance, of the visible and the invisible. As in any affair, it's about intensity, about tension – about that which can't always be put into words. Art can seduce, can irritate, can touch. And precisely through this, it can move people.
