Myth in the Thread Labyrinth: The Ariadne Project transforms Amberg into a walkable art poem

The city gallery ALTE FEUERWACHE in Amberg invites you to an extraordinary art experience: The Ariadne Project by the artists Belle Shafir (Tel Aviv) and Hanna Regina Uber (Amberg/Aschach) unfolds a multisensory spatial experience that brings the ancient Ariadne myth into the present. Between thread, net, sound, and light, an exhibition atmosphere emerges where the observation of artworks and aesthetic experience intertwine.

A red thread through space and time

A parcours is created from spatial installations, video, and audio media that understands the thread as an image for orientation, memory, and connectedness. Materials such as threads, tubes, and organic textures form a dense structure of lines, knots, and voids – a contemporary palimpsest that engages visitors sensually and intellectually.

Art historical depth of focus

In the dialogue of installation, drawing, and sound, a precise curation unfolds that intertwines the Ariadne topos with questions of identity, memory, and transformation. Belle Shafir's multimedia practice – from paper works to performative placements – meets Hanna Regina Uber's sculptural spatial concepts. The result: a walkable visual language that fluctuates between sculpture, painting, and installation and opens art historical references to textile art, body politics, and narrative spaces.

Sharpened senses: Light, material, resonance

Fine surfaces, contrasting materials, and targeted lighting create intensity. The sound expands the plastic gesture into the acoustic dimension; thus, the space becomes a stage of perception. Each work station invites for a slowed-down observation – to see the colors and shapes closely, to feel rhythm, beat, and relief.

Education and participation

The city gallery is accessible through the city museum Amberg and is embedded in its educational offers. Barrier-free areas, tours in various formats, and museum educational programs promote cultural education and open the exhibition to a broad audience.

Conclusion

The Ariadne Project promises an intense art experience: contemporary installation, clever curation, strong spatial impact. Anyone wanting to follow the red thread of art history into the present should definitely experience this exhibition live – for an inspiring, lasting aesthetic experience.
