When Metal Becomes Poetry: Bettina Dittlmann and Michael Jank at the City Gallery ALTE FEUERWACHE
In the City Gallery ALTE FEUERWACHE in Amberg, jewelry art, material experimentation, and nature observation come together for a concentrated art experience. The exhibition Clouds and Forged Airholes introduces a visual language where goldsmithing does not appear as a decorative accessory, but as a precisely conceived art form with significant spatial presence.
Between Cloud, Curvature, and Resistance
The artist duo Bettina Dittlmann and Michael Jank combines traditional craftsmanship with an open, contemporary design language. The title already suggests what this is about: making air visible, shaping emptiness, the tension between surface and interior space. In this examination of the works, the fine lines of the smith emerge just as much as the poetic lightness of thought.
Jewelry as Artwork, Material as Expression
Bettina Dittlmann is an award-winning jewelry artist whose training at renowned art and jewelry schools has shaped her precise yet experimental approach. Her works navigate between jewelry, object art, and visual art. Michael Jank complements this perspective with experimental material processing that makes forging visible as a cultural practice. Together, they create works that explore the dialogue between body, material, and space.
