BEIFANG at Künstlerhaus Göttingen: The Overlooked Becomes Art

BEIFANG: The Overlooked Becomes Visible

At the conclusion of the annual exhibition BEIFANG, BBK Südniedersachsen invites you to a tour with participating artists at the Künstlerhaus Göttingen on Sunday, November 15, 2026. The event begins at 2:30 PM and provides immediate access to a diverse display of contemporary art.

An Exhibition Between Chance and Meaning

The term bycatch comes from fishing and refers to marine animals that unintentionally get caught in the nets and often go unused. In the exhibition, this concrete image becomes an open metaphor in art history and society: The focus is on the unintended, accidental, overlooked, and discarded.

31 Artistic Positions, Numerous Media

31 artists approach the theme from different perspectives. Painting, sculpture, object art, photography, collage, encaustic, installation, and assemblage engage in a dynamic dialogue in the White Room and the Upper Gallery. The diversity of materials and forms makes visible how new visual ideas and meanings emerge from marginal phenomena.

Art Appreciation as an Aesthetic Experience

The joint tour deepens the encounter with the works and connects expert insights with personal artwork appreciation. Colors, surfaces, photographic excerpts, sculptural forms, and spatial effects draw attention to those details that are easily overlooked in everyday life. Thus, the exhibition atmosphere becomes an artistic experience between sensual perception, cultural education, and critical reflection.

Art in a Social and Ecological Context

BEIFANG links contemporary art to questions of human action, ecological responsibility, and societal selection processes. The curation brings together different artistic attitudes and shows how art develops an independent visual language from the trivial.

Conclusion: A Tour with New Perspectives

The concluding tour offers art enthusiasts the opportunity to experience BEIFANG together with the participating artists and to explore the exhibition firsthand. Those who engage in this aesthetic experience will discover the creative potential of the overlooked at the Künstlerhaus Göttingen. Admission is free – a compelling reason to visit this unique art experience live.
