Clouds, Metal, and the Poetry of the Airy at the Air Museum Amberg

The special exhibition Clouds and Forged Air Holes brings a rare connection of jewelry art, material experimentation, and site-specific art into the historic atmosphere of the Klösterl at the Air Museum Amberg. Loans from private collections will be shown as well as works from the estate that the city of Amberg was able to acquire in the autumn of 2025 and that have not been publicly displayed for a long time.

Between Goldsmithing and Artistic Research

Bettina Dittlmann and Michael Jank have been working together since 1998 and have made a name for themselves with their hand-forged Forever Rings. Their works combine gold, silver, copper, iron, and magnetic materials with a precise language of form, understanding jewelry not only as adornment but as movable sculpture. For this continuous collaboration, they were awarded the Bavarian State Prize in 2009.

Material Poetry in Dialogue with Space

The Air Museum Amberg is ideally suited for an exhibition that focuses on lightness, transformation, and perception. The museum is housed in the historic Klösterl, encompassing three floors with around 650 square meters of exhibition space and regularly showing temporary exhibitions on design, architecture, art, technology, and everyday art on the ground floor. The presentation by Dittlmann and Jank thus unfolds a special exhibition atmosphere between the contemplation of the works and spatial imagination.

What Visitors Can Expect in Amberg

The focus is on works that bring together nature observation, craftsmanship, and conceptual art. Particularly exciting is the view of the tension between delicate jewelry form and robust metal, between movement and fixation, between cloud and forged form. In addition to their joint work, Michael Jank is also engaged in photography, printmaking, and curatorial tasks; Bettina Dittlmann also develops delicate jewelry made of iron, garnet, pyrite, and magnets. This complexity makes the visit an aesthetic experience with high art-historical appeal.

Accompanying Program and Cultural Mediation

Tours can be booked and offer an in-depth access to the collection, exhibition practice, and museum educational concept. Thus, the visit becomes not only a art experience but also a place of learning in cultural education. ([luftmuseum.de](https://www.luftmuseum.de/ausstellungen/aktuell?utm_source=openai))
