The Ariadne Project in Amberg: A Thread Through Myth, Space, and Present

The City Gallery Alte Feuerwache opens in 2026 with a dense, sensual exhibition: The Ariadne Project by Belle Shafir and Hanna Regina Uber brings the red thread of myth into the present. Curated by art historian Michaela Grammer, a multi-voiced exhibition atmosphere unfolds, drawing visitors into a walkable mesh of material, light, and sound.

Myth of Ariadne: From Narrative to Aesthetic Experience

Starting from the ancient motif of the thread, the artists link themes such as orientation, memory, and self-positioning. In the examination of the works, tactile materials, textile structures, and organic forms oscillate between painting, sculpture, and installation. Lines, knots, and nets create a tense balance of openness and density.

Spatial Effect, Light, and Sound: Immersive Installations

The presentation focuses on spatially compelling installations, complemented by audio media. Transparent and dense zones alternate, shadows and reflections change perception. Thus, an art experience arises where the thread not only guides but also establishes relationships: between works, visitors, and the architectural context of the City Gallery.

Curating with Clarity: Context, Dialogue, Precision

Michaela Grammer frames the contemporary visual and spatial language of both positions in an art-historical context. The focus is on material iconography, rhythm, and formal reduction. The curation makes the artistic processes readable and emphasizes the dialogical moment between the artistic signatures.

Program and Opening Hours

The exhibition runs from 29.01.2026 to 12.04.2026 at the City Gallery Alte Feuerwache in the City Museum Amberg. Admission is free. Opening hours: Tue–Fri 11–16, Sat/Sun 11–17. A performance by Alex and Manu Dorsch is scheduled for 11.04.2026.

Education and Mediation

The Amberg Museum combines the City Museum and City Gallery and regularly offers guided tours and workshops. The museum provides information on barrier-free access, family offerings, and group bookings. Recommended: Visit during quiet time slots in the early afternoon for focused examination of the works.

Conclusion: The Ariadne Project condenses thread, space, and sound into a precisely curated, poetic experience. Those who appreciate contemporary installation, material aesthetics, and mythological resonances should definitely experience this exhibition live.
