Viewing Hof Art Anew: Guided Evening in the Technical Town Hall

Unique opportunity for an intense art experience: Peter Nürmberger, long-time head of the cultural office of the city of Hof, guides through the exhibition Art in the Technical Town Hall. In 90 minutes, a particularly aesthetic experience unfolds – featuring works from the city's collection and focused on 20th-century art.

Curatorial Perspective with City History in the Background

From the practice of curation, Nürmberger shares insights on selection criteria, placement, and spatial effect. Colors, materials, and surfaces enter into dialogue with the straightforward architectural language of the town hall. The examination of the works sharpens the understanding of regional art movements between post-war modernism and late classical figuration, complemented by references to the municipal collection policy and its cultural and historical significance.

Space, Light, Work: An Exhibition in a Public Building

In the Technical Town Hall, painting, graphics, and sculpture encounter everyday life. The interplay of natural light and artificial light models contours, emphasizes brushwork and work structure. This creates an exhibition atmosphere where Hof's art history becomes sensually tangible and the focus on artistic quality beyond the white cube is sharpened.

The Municipal Art Collection and Its Access Points

The Bayerisches Vogtland Museum acts as an organizational partner, mediating the city and region through permanent and special exhibitions and providing access to around 2400 digitized artworks through a virtual gallery. This connection of education, mediation, and collection strengthens cultural education and anchors the works in the urban space.
