Vernissage of Walli Bauer & Gerhard Hagen at the Stadttheater Fürth

Between Etching and Photography: A Multifaceted Art Experience at the Stadttheater Fürth

The vernissage of Walli Bauer and Gerhard Hagen offers a concentrated look at two distinct artistic signatures at the Stadttheater Fürth. The exhibition serves as a precursor to an encounter with printmaking, painting, photography, and object art, and will be on view until March 9, 2027.

A House that Connects Stage and Exhibition Space

The Stadttheater Fürth at the Königsstraße location provides an atmospherically dense framework for this exhibition. Art and theater meet here in a place where the audience is already attuned to perception, timing, and presence. From this setting, the exhibition derives its unique atmosphere: those who arrive before the performance or linger during the break experience the works not casually, but in the tension between movement, expectation, and focused contemplation of the artworks.

Walli Bauer: Printmaking as a Poetic Quest

Walli Bauer is established as a freelance artist in Bamberg and is present with printmaking, painting, and objects. Her work is characterized by a sensitive observation of the everyday. In earlier series like Behind Windows, she condensed light, shadow, and imagined living spaces into narrative visual worlds. In the exhibition at the Stadttheater Fürth, this approach directs attention to the unseen behind the surface: to structures, rhythms, and quiet condensations that only the art of graphics can expose so precisely. Her etchings and printmaking works connect aesthetic experience with cultural-historical depth.

Gerhard Hagen: Architectural Photography with a Focus on Space and Form

Since the year 2000, Gerhard Hagen has been working as a photographer and filmmaker in Bamberg, with a particular emphasis on architectural photography. His visual language is characterized by clarity, spatial awareness, and a precise approach to construction, material, and light. His photographic practice operates in the tension between documentary accuracy and aesthetic staging. In this way, he complements Walli Bauer's graphic poetics with a second, equally focused perspective on perception and form.

Curating with Resonance Between Youth and Maturity

The collaboration of the two artists opens a dialogue between different artistic experiential spaces. While Walli Bauer works with graphic condensation and narrative suggestion, Gerhard Hagen draws on the quiet authority of the photographic gaze. The exhibition gains a curatorial appeal that unfolds not through effect, but through precision. The result is a calm yet tension-filled artistic experience that appeals to art enthusiasts as well as visitors seeking new approaches to contemporary visual language.

Visit, Framework, and Practical Information

The exhibition can be visited by theater-goers before performances and during the intermission. Guests who only wish to see the exhibition are welcome 60 to 30 minutes before the performance begins or by arrangement with Art-Agency Hammond. Thus, the exhibition connects cultural education with an open visiting situation that also allows for spontaneous artistic encounters.

Conclusion

This vernissage promises not a loud gesture, but a finely tuned encounter with art, space, and perception. Those who appreciate printmaking, photography, and the quiet intensity of contemporary positions will find a worthwhile exhibition visit at the Stadttheater Fürth with lasting impact. An event for all who want to not only view art but experience it.
