When marble seems to come alive: Venske & Spänle in Amberg
With Venske & Spänle, the Amberg City Gallery ALTE FEUERWACHE focuses on a sculpture that subtly expands the classical understanding of sculpture. The artist duo Julia Venske and Gregor Spänle have been working together since 1997; their works are made from fine Laaser marble and at first glance resemble organically grown forms, although they are crafted in traditional stone sculpture.

Material that takes on movement
The sculptures by Venske & Spänle thrive on the tension between hardness and softness, weight and lightness, statics and transformation. The white marble loses all museum-like distance in their works and gains an almost breathing presence. The artists transform the classic image of the stone block into amorphous structures of remarkable liveliness. ([venskespaenle.com](https://venskespaenle.com/?utm_source=openai))
Between natural form and fantasy figure
Characteristic is their humorous approach to form and typology: More than 200 marble creatures have already been categorized into their own genres and given playful names. This mixture of art-historical seriousness, poetic irony, and sculptural precision also shapes the perception of the exhibition in Amberg. Those who linger here experience not only a contemplation of works but an aesthetic experience in the tension field of nature, body, and space.

Conclusion
Venske & Spänle promise an exhibition in Amberg that connects sculptural materiality, humorous typologies, and strong spatial effects.
