Learning to See Spaces: The Photographic Discoveries of Herbert Stahl

On Wednesday, November 19, 2025, the City Gallery at the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche Traunstein will open its doors for the exhibition opening DISCOVERIES IN SPACES OF ART. Mayor Christian Hümmer will deliver the welcome address, gallery director Judith Bader will explain the curation and lead a dialogical evening of work examination with the artist Herbert Stahl. Admission is free – an ideal moment for an intense artistic experience.

Photography as Spatial Art: Lines, Light, Atmosphere

In Stahl's photographs, axes of light, edges, and textures coalesce into precise image architectures. His aesthetic experience is rooted in decades of engagement with painting, drawing, and since 2000, with photography. Colors recede under control, allowing contrasts, material surfaces, and spatial effects to speak – a stilling of the gaze that leads to discoveries.

Curation Dialogues: Mediation, Context, Cultural Space

The exhibition will be presented on the 2nd floor of the Klosterkirche – a historic wing that has shaped the regional art scene as a City Gallery since the 1980s. The gallery team focuses on clear thematic guidance, guided tours, and art education: works analysis, art direction, epoch, and material are precisely explored and linked to Traunstein's cultural history.

Biographical Trace: From Art Education to Precise Visual Language

Herbert Stahl, born in 1947, studied art education in Munich, shaped generations of students, and realized numerous city-wide art actions. His development of work – from representational and abstract painting to photography – shows a consistent concentration on composition, color, and form. This experience is reflected in photographic spatial explorations that sharpen seeing.

Exhibition Atmosphere: Close to the Works, Clear in Rhythm

The architectural clarity of the gallery creates a contemplative exhibition atmosphere. Visitors experience finely curated sequences: large formats, precise hanging, calm sight axes. Thus, tipping moments arise between image surface and spatial depth – a parcours of visual thought movements.

Educational Offers: Tours and Work Discussions

The City Gallery sees itself as a place of cultural education. Regular exhibition tours and special guided tours for groups or school classes are offered by arrangement. The curation emphasizes mediation: context, materiality, and artistic processes are made accessible without losing intellectual precision.

Conclusion: An Evening for Focused Seeing

DISCOVERIES IN SPACES OF ART promises a strong aesthetic experience: precise photography, clear curation, lively exchange with the artist. Those who love photography, architecture, and spatial effect should take advantage of this vernissage – for inspiring shifts of perspective and lasting art moments.
