Helotrophe at the Luftmuseum Amberg: Venske & Spänle Shape Space and Nature

Helotrophe: Sculpture as a Living Spatial Experience

With Helotrophe, the Luftmuseum Amberg will showcase an exhibition by Venske & Spänle starting on September 20, 2026, where their sculpture sharpens the view of matter, movement and space. The duo has been working for many years with white Laaser marble, developing organically appearing forms that hover between nature observation, transformation and poetic irritation.

Between Marble, Biology and Imagination

The sculptures by Julia Venske and Gregor Spänle unfold a quiet yet intense exhibition atmosphere. Their amorphous structures evoke growth processes, limb-less bodies, rocky or plant-like formations that evade any clear categorization. It is precisely this ambiguity that makes viewing the work so appealing: The plastic bodies appear both familiar and foreign.

Sculptural Precision in Dialogue with the Space

Since 1997, the artist duo has been working internationally and has presented works in New York, Atlanta, Sydney, Valencia, Hannover, and other art centers. Their presence in renowned galleries and collections underscores the authority of their oeuvre, which is situated between contemporary sculpture, installation, and conceptual form research. In Amberg, this signature meets the unique architecture of the Luftmuseum, whose spaces allow the body of the works, their surface and their light effect to be experienced in a different way.

A Museum with Its Own Profile

The Luftmuseum Amberg is located at Eichenforstgäßchen 12 in 92224 Amberg and sees itself as a place for art, architecture, design and technology. For visitors, the museum offers regular opening hours, guided tours upon request, and clear visitor information. At the same time, the historical building substance is important for the effect of the works: The museum is not barrier-free; access to the upper levels is via stairs.
