There Is No Other Place Like Home at kultur.lokal.fürth: Art about home and visibility

A quiet, poignant art experience about home, body, and belonging

With the opening of There Is No Other Place Like Home, kultur.lokal.fürth on May 9, 2026, creates a space for an exhibition that uniquely connects personal experience and societal questioning. Leon Eichelbaum and Kati Schubin explore in their works themes of closeness, retreat, memory, and the concept of home. The evening leads directly into a sensitive examination of the works, where photography, drawing, text, and installation come together.

Home as refuge and as border

The exhibition focuses on a reality of life that often remains invisible: living with ME/CFS. According to the official announcement, Leon Eichelbaum documents his daily life with the illness through photographs, drawings, and texts. This results in intimate works about pain, longing, and care, as well as about corporeality, dependence, and societal participation. This intertwining of personal experience and cultural education gives the exhibition its special authority.

Material, light, and the silent power of form

At kultur.lokal.fürth, the exhibition atmosphere unfolds in close proximity to the audience. The space at Bahnhofplatz not only makes art visible but also physically experienceable. This presence enhances the impact of the works: drawings seem like tactile protocols, photographs fragile testimonies of a life in a state of emergency, texts as poetic condensations of distance and the desire for connection.

Curation with societal relevance

The project stands for an accessible approach to art and culture. kultur.lokal.fürth regards itself as a model project of the Cultural Office of the City of Fürth and offers changing formats for exhibition, encounter, and exchange. For visitors, this creates an art experience that goes beyond mere observation: it invites reflection on illness, care, social participation, and the question of how much home a space can provide.

An evening for attentive consideration

The vernissage promises not a loud spectacle but a concentrated, touching approach to an artistic position that connects empathy and precision. Those who engage with this exhibition will experience a multifaceted interplay of image, language, and space that lingers long after. A visit is definitely worthwhile, as There Is No Other Place Like Home opens a rare, poignant view of art as a form of visibility and compassion.
