INTRODUCTION: Clemens Ottnad
Form and identity
A piece of canvas, powerfully stretched over an object, taut and transformed into a new form. The fabric clings tightly to the object and retains a tension-filled, natural shape – a form that could not be created through planned construction or classic materials like plaster.
This process results in sculptures whose surfaces resemble gentle hills. The works reference the landscape of the Swabian Alb.
The works invite the viewer to experience landscape and body as changing, sensitive spaces – shaped by origin, memory and personal development.

“THINK BIG! Thinking BIG is the only way to unleash your full potential,” say many motivational gurus when it comes to achieving success in life.
Sheer size is, of course, not the decisive criterion for quality – neither in life nor in art. But the theme of "thinking BIG" can be an impetus to explore new paths. We look forward to experiencing "big" art from two art associations:
BBK/W and GEDOK Karlsruhe. The Durlach organ factory offers inspiring spaces and opportunities for this.

Making paint from self-collected soils and stones
Producing paint from earths and rocks with natural binders has a
A long tradition. This is evidenced by cave paintings up to 45,500 years old in Indonesia and France. Earth pigments are still used in many artists' paints today, but with a little effort, they can also be easily made at home. Using earth and stones we collect ourselves, we will mix natural paints with various binders and use them to paint pictures on paper or wood.

INTRODUCTION: Clemens Ottnad
DURATION: 14.09. - 13.10.24 Thurs. 18.00 – 20.00, Sat. 16.00 – 18.00, Sun. 11.00 – 13.00
and by arrangement.
Eva Doelker-Heim's work reflects the interplay between humanity and nature. Through experimental engagement with natural processes, she explores the flow of color, changes during drying, and creates her own pigments from earths, plants, rocks, and lapis lazuli. Historical recipes and exchanges with artists and scientists shape her material development.
The resulting colors bear the traces of place, weather, and mood. She deliberately exposes some works to rain, wind, snow, or sea—nature itself leaves its mark and creates "natural patterns" on canvas, paper, and found objects.
Biophilia
CHRISTINE HERR and EVA DOELKER-HEIM
BBK/W Atelierhaus, Eugenstraße 17, 70182 Stuttgart
Opening: Sat, October 20, 2024, 4 p.m
Introduction: Clemens Ottnad
Duration: October 20th - November 4th, 2024, Sat + Sun 2 p.m. - 6 p.m
The term biophilia (ancient Greek bios “life” and philia “love”) means “love of life” or “love of living things”.
Biophilia describes the deep affiliations and connections that humans have with nature as a whole. It's about a deep feeling of connection with everything that surrounds us.
The artistic work of Christine Herr and Eva Doelker-Heim is a reflection on nature, its relationship to human existence and its effects on our emotions. Through their works they explore what they experience within themselves and in the world around us. The observation of nature becomes a shared artistic discourse.

HOMETOWN
K. DORN-TETZLAFF | E. DOELKER-HEIM | H. SCHUHMACHER
Stuttgart Town Hall, Marktplatz 1, 70173 Stuttgart,
4th floor, “Art in the Town Hall”
OPENING: Tue. April 23, 2024, 7 p.m

K. Dorn-Tetzlaff evokes a place of longing - based on old family photos from Silesia, her father's homeland. Lavender oil rubs release people from their surroundings. Drawings of plants and flowers appear as substitutes.
E. Doelker-Heim processes self-made pigments from earth and rocks from her homeland. She works with the White Jura of the Swabian Alb, the slate of the Black Jura and the soils of the barren arable landscapes. H. Schuhmacher addresses the extinction of glaciers, probably the most touching geographical loss of face in our homeland. Using white, silver and light blue fabrics, she reconfigures organic patterns and natural forms of glaciers into talisman-like tactile objects.
