Sculture in the Field of Tension between Space, Material, and Nature

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 has been sculpting with white Laaser marble since 1997 and explores the relationship between humans, space, and sculpture in their work.

Organic Forms that Liven Up the Space

Characteristic of Venske & Spänle are organic form contours and flowing structures that resemble growth processes in nature. The works have a strong presence in the museum space: The smooth, bright surface of the marble contrasts with sculptural dynamics, causing the perception of the work to oscillate between tranquility and movement.

Between Transformation and Tracing

The artistic language of the duo refers to transformation, intervention, and change. In this exhibition, sculpture is not experienced as a static object but as an aesthetic experience that intertwines ecological questions, material awareness, and spatial perception. International presentations, including in New York, Sydney, and Valencia, underscore the authoritative position of the duo in the field of contemporary sculpture.

Guided Tours, Visits, and Educational Value

Guided tours can be booked for groups; the museum also offers programs outside regular opening hours. The institutional visitor structure places value on mediation and accessibility. At the same time, it should be noted: The Air Museum is not barrier-free due to the historical building fabric and the lack of an elevator.

Conclusion

Helotrophe promises a concentrated art experience between material poetry, spatial impact, and contemporary sculpture. Anyone wishing to experience current sculpture in an atmospherically dense exhibition should definitely visit this presentation in Amberg live.
