The series, launched in 1996 as “neue musik im stadthaus”, was changed to KlangHaus in 2020. With Jürgen Grözinger as art director since the very beginning.
At the opening concert Human Endeavor, Anna Clementi and the European Music Project performed David Lang’s Men, Anna Korsun’s Tollers Zelle, and Olga Neuwirth’s Hommage à Klaus Nomi. On Friday, the Christian Benning Percussion Group transformed the Stadthaus auditorium into a Temple of Rhythm, performing Steve Reich’s Six Marimbas, Tamir Odeh Tamimi’s ROAÏKRON for six percussionists, and Wolfgang Rihm’s Tutuguri VI (Kreuze).
The eight pieces from Transformations centred on the theme of water. Soloists of the evening included Ichi Go (dance), Hayden Chisholm (saxophone / vocals), and Antonis Anissegos (piano). For the finale, Rei Nakamura created a Palace of Sound at the grand piano with Morton Feldman’s Palais de Mari and Concerto for Piano and Wireless Speakers by Wojtek Blecharz (*1981) who was performing as well.
On 26 April 1986, the Chernobyl disaster shook the world. A radioactive cloud was released from reactor No. 4 into the atmosphere and spread across all of Europe.
An exclusion zone was declared, an area within a radius of 30 km surrounding the nuclear power plant. In the meantime nature has quietly and persistently reclaimed the deserted area. Some artists are observing this development more closely.
Globalisation, consumerism, and the resulting climate change are the main causes for the disappearance of the rainforest's precious ecosystem. And this also contributes to the disconnection of humanity from the virgin forest.
What do we connect with the term wilderness? What does a picture…
In his photographic work, Nikita Teryoshin focuses on the often-overlooked aspects of modern life. With critical acuity, visual wit, and a keen sense of irony, he documents social contradictions, power structures, and economic dynamics.
Every second year the Stadthaus Ulm invites young people to take part in the photo competition Kindling Democracy focusing on changing democratic values.
Kathrin Linkersdorff's fascinating large-format photographs are located somewhere between art and science. In her experiments, which are at the interface with botany and microbiology, she analyses the nature and structure of plants. She purposely sets off disintegration processes that reveal the inner structure of blossoms in order to capture them in photographic stagings.
Plants communicate, share, they are able to learn, and they even follow mobility strategies. Bioscientists keep revealing more and more information and exchange processes: among plants but also between plants and other life forms. The artists Paula Bruna, Barcelona (*1978), Katrin Petroschkat, Munich (*1979), and Saša Spačal, Ljubljana (*1978), open up unusual accesses to plants and their environments. Their artwork casts light upon new aspects of botanical physicality, interaction, and communication. The exhibition invites us to spend time with plants; listening in on and smelling their worlds and ways of expressing life.
Emil Kräß worked at the Minster's stonemasons' lodge in Ulm for 38 years.
In November 2024 the Minster's longest-serving stonemason put down his mallet and retired. Admittedly, this does not keep him from continuing to use hammer and chisel. Besides his job the stonemason from Holzschwang developed his very own artistic way of working with sandstone and limestone.
