LAYERS II: Skateboard decks become poetic sculptures

With the vernissage LAYERS II, the artist beks., alias Nadja Birner, presents an exhibition at the vhs Fürth that bridges pop art, craftsmanship, and street culture. The exhibition opens on Thursday, November 12, 2026, in the bistro of the adult education center. Admission is free.

Old decks, new visual language

Under the guiding motto Old decks, new tricks, beks. transforms used skateboard decks into flat sculptures through sawing, milling, and sanding. The characteristic silhouette of the boards remains largely intact, carrying the memory of movement, speed, and urban youth culture into the exhibition space.

Color, wood, and traces of usage

The work observation directs attention to the colored wooden layers that become visible through precise manual interventions. Relief-like works arise, where the materiality remains immediately tangible. Worn spots, scratches, and traces of past use are not blemishes, but integral components of the composition. They give the works direction, rhythm, and often also the motif.

Between pop art, street art, and object art

The exhibition combines aesthetic experience with cultural education. beks. translates an object from skate culture into an independent form of contemporary object art. Humor, play, and irritation open up different interpretations. Titles and series names reference terms from skate jargon, creating additional layers of meaning between everyday language, movement, and visual art.

An exhibition for curious eyes

The atmosphere of the exhibition is alive with the contrast between the rough history of the material and the concentrated effect of the finished works. Forms, color layers, and cutting lines merge into a silent choreography. Particularly, the proximity to design, pop culture, and streetwear makes LAYERS II an accessible art experience for seasoned art enthusiasts as well as for visitors who wish to rediscover contemporary art.

Conclusion: Art in motion

LAYERS II shows how used skateboard decks become independent sculptures through craftsmanship and artistic imagination. The vernissage promises immediate contemplation of the works, a unique material aesthetic, and new perspectives on the connection between art, craftsmanship, and street culture. Those who wish to experience contemporary art sensually and surprisingly should visit this exhibition live at the vhs Fürth.
