EXHIBITION
"THE INVISIBLE SIDE OF LIGHT" HANNES SIRKEL 03.09-01.11.2026
The exhibition "The Invisible Side of Light" introduces Hannes Sirkel’s photographic work, where art meets natural science. The works reveal how an array of natural objects appear in different parts of the light spectrum, and how structures, pigments, and surfaces that normally remain beyond the range of our perception can be brought to light.
EXHIBITION
GROUP EXHIBITION "LIGHT RINGS AT THE EDGE OF TIME" / 09.10.–08.11.2026
The exhibition brings together seven artists whose work features science fiction in one way or another as a central theme. 'Light Rings at the Edge of Time' asks whether sci-fi has turned into a nostalgic imagination of past futures that never came to be, whether it remains a forward-looking genre depicting what lies ahead, or whether it has become something else entirely?
