An exhibition between blacksmith's fire and celestial space
The exhibition Clouds and Forged Airholes showcases the poetic collaboration of Bettina Dittlmann and Michael Jank. The focus is on hand-forged eternity rings, experimental material processing, and the artistic approach to the natural phenomenon of clouds. Bettina Dittlmann is known as a silversmith and metal artist; Michael Jank works with photography, photogravure, lithography, and screen printing. Since 1998, both have been collaborating on the eternity rings. ([de.wikipedia.org](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bettina_Dittlmann?utm_source=openai))
When metal becomes image and thought
The eternity rings are created from a piece of material that is shaped, punctured, stretched, and elongated. This precise technique transforms gold, silver, copper, and iron into concentrated objects that lie between jewelry, sculpture, and conceptual art. In their examination of the work, the tension between craftsmanship and contemporary art, between the resistance of the material and the delicate gesture of shaping, becomes evident.

Clouds as an image space
Michael Jank has been exploring the theme of clouds for many years, translating it into photographic and printmaking processes. His works combine nature observation with medial condensation, opening a quiet yet vibrant image space. The dialogue with Dittlmann's forged surfaces is particularly appealing, where proximity, structure, and rhythm condense into an aesthetic experience.

An art experience for the curious and connoisseurs
This exhibition is suitable for visitors who want to discover contemporary jewelry, object art, and material-related artistic practices from an art historical perspective. Bettina Dittlmann received the Danner Prize in 2020; both artists are internationally present in the field of Contemporary Jewellery and artistic crafts. Thus, the exhibition gains a high authoritative depth and connects cultural education with sensual exploration of the works.

At the end, guests can expect a quiet yet intense art experience that makes jewelry as a form of thought and clouds as an image concept tangible. Anyone interested in material, form, and poetic precision should visit this exhibition live and experience the unique exhibition atmosphere on site.
