Thread, Labyrinth, Spider: The Ariadne Project as an Intense Artistic Experience

In the Stadtgalerie ALTE FEUERWACHE, a multisensory space experience is created: Belle Shafir (Tel Aviv) and Hanna Regina Uber (Amberg/Aschach) unfold a walkable installation with The Ariadne Project, interweaving myth, material, and memory. Admission is free, access is via the main entrance of the Stadtmuseum Amberg.

Introduction: The Red Thread of Mythology

Based on Ariadne's thread, the artists connect labyrinth, orientation, and liberation. The exhibition atmosphere invites viewers to contemplate the work: Visitors move through braids and knots, experiencing spatial effects, changes in light, and sound trails as an aesthetic experience.

Material Poetics: Horse Hair, Threads, Structures

Belle Shafir, born in Amberg and active in Tel Aviv, has been working for decades with organic and synthetic materials in installations. Her crocheted chains and nets made of horse hair, wax, or nylon thematize memory, identity, and biography. The fine modules condense into patterns reminiscent of DNA strands, cellular structures, and fragile ecosystems.

Sculptural Insertions: Uber between Minotaur and Labyrinth

Hanna Regina Uber, a sculptor with her own bronze foundry, develops spatial constellations that intertwine digital and tactile dimensions. Her installation reflects Minotaur, labyrinth, and Ariadne as a promise of salvation and seduction; sound compositions accentuate the traversal of the stations.

Curating and Context

The Stadtgalerie ALTE FEUERWACHE in the Stadtmuseum Amberg showcases contemporary art from painting to installation. The Ariadne Project connects with the programmatic lines of the gallery and combines artistic research, cultural education, and sensual spatial perception.
