ATELIER GOLDSTEIN
The Best of All Worlds
The studio was founded by its current director, stage and costume designer Christiane Cuticchio. The staff consists of students and graduates from art universities. They are using a special method, developed at the studio, to help artists with different disabilities to strengthen and develop their visual language, and to bring it to perfection. Intensive imparting work enables the studio to place the artists' works in national and international museums and collections.
In 2012, Atelier Goldstein received the Binding-Kulturpreis, one of the most important German art awards. It was the first time that it was awarded to artists with disabilities. In addition, the studio has been running Goldstein Galerie, a non-commercial gallery and event location, since 2013.
"The Best of All Worlds" presents the works of 13 artists from the studio's 17 year history. It includes well-known artists like Hans-Jörg Georgi with his air-plane models made from cardboard, dinosaur expert Julia Krause-Harder or Stefan Häfner, who will present detailed models of utopian cities. Häfners works are on loan from the Deutsches Architekturmuseum, Frankfurt a. M.
The exhibition is supplemented by models of construction vehicles and drawings by artist Roland Kappel, who lives at Mariaberg, a Diakonie facility near Gammertingen in the Swabian Jura.
