Laaser marble as living form

Venske & Spänle have been working with white Laaser marble for many years, developing organic sculptures that oscillate between natural form, body association, and abstraction. Their works question scale, materiality, and the boundaries of classical sculpture; museums and art institutions describe their oeuvre as unusually lively and internationally exhibited.

Spatial effect, light, and quiet tension

In the Air Museum, this art unfolds its special effect: The historic location, the concentrated presentation, and the clear language of form direct attention to surface, volume, and movement. The sculptures appear as beings from another order - both familiar and foreign. This creates an art experience that combines aesthetic experience, work contemplation, and art historical reflection.

Sculpture with contemporary relevance

The exhibition can also be read as a commentary on the present. The duo works with a language of form in which growth, transformation, and fragility become visible. This is exactly where the strength of this exhibition lies: it opens the view for sculpture as a space of thought, for material as a bearer of meaning, and for art as a precise observation of reality.
