When Marble Breathes: Venske & Spänle at the Air Museum Amberg

With Helotrophe, the Air Museum Amberg presents a special exhibition by Venske & Spänle from September 20, 2026, to January 17, 2027, on the ground floor. The artist duo Julia Venske and Gregor Spänle has been working with white Laaser marble since 1997, developing sculptures that oscillate between organic form, humorous distortion, and spatial presence.

Sculpture as Living Metamorphosis

The works of Venske & Spänle transform a classic sculptural material into forms of surprising softness. From the hard stone emerge amorphous bodies that evoke growth, movement, and biological processes. It is precisely this tension between material hardness and sensual form that makes the viewing of the works captivating. Their sculptures are exhibited internationally and are considered a striking position in contemporary sculpture. ([venskespaenle.com](https://venskespaenle.com/?utm_source=openai))

Space, Light, and Aesthetic Experience

At the Air Museum Amberg, the presentation unfolds in a building dedicated to art, architecture, and technology. The ground floor is more accessible; upper levels can only be reached via stairs due to the historical building structure. The exhibition atmosphere promises not only an encounter with sculpture but also a conscious perception of space, light, and material.
