Annual Exhibition 2026: Contemporary Art between Symbolism, Identity and Nature
On Sunday, November 22, 2026, the Annual Exhibition of Kreis 34 Göttingen e.V. opens at Künstlerhaus Göttingen. The vernissage starts at 11:30 AM and provides insight into a diverse showcase featuring painting, sculpture, and photography. 19 artists address current questions regarding identity, symbolic meaning, and the relationship of humanity to nature.
A Multivoiced Panorama of Regional Art
The exhibition brings together different artistic styles and highlights the range of the contemporary art scene in Southern Lower Saxony. Painting, sculpture, and photography engage in a thrilling dialogue. Abstract forms, figurative references, photographic observations, and sculptural materials open up various ways of viewing the works.
Central themes touch on everyday life as well as fundamental art historical questions: How is identity formed? What signs shape our perception? And how does the relationship between humans and nature change? The works invite viewers to reinterpret familiar images and develop their own interpretations within the exhibition space.
Symbolism as an Open Visual Language
The symbolism of the works does not constitute a fixed key but rather an open visual language. Colors, shapes, bodies, landscapes, and materials unfold their meanings in individual perception. It is this ambiguity that creates an intense aesthetic experience and makes the exhibition accessible to different generations.
Visitors encounter art that not only wishes to be viewed but also questioned. Between concentrated form, sensual materiality, and photographic precision, an exhibition atmosphere arises in which perception becomes an active process.
Vernissage with Introduction and Music
At the opening, Anna Tarach, chairperson of Kreis 34 Göttingen e.V., will welcome the audience. Maria Saalfeld, the second chairperson of Künstlerhaus, will introduce the exhibition. Igor Tulchynsky will provide musical accompaniment, adding a sonic dimension to the art experience.
The Künstlerhaus Göttingen in the historic Lichtenberghaus offers a characterful setting for this. On multiple gallery levels, contemporary positions meet the unique spatial impact of the historic building. The combination of architecture, light, and artworks supports concentrated viewing of the works.
Cultural Education and Further Exhibition Dates
The Annual Exhibition can be seen from November 22 to December 30, 2026. A poetic exhibition tour with Tina Fibiger on November 29 at 2:30 PM deepens the engagement with the symbol-laden works in dialogue with the audience. On December 6, a traditional art market will complement the program.
Featured works by Pettra Biertümpfel, Christiane Christen, Mina Farjadi, Ingrid-Rosine Floerke, Gudrun Friedrich-Kopp, Arash Garemani, Friederike Hammer, Karl-Heinz Haselmeyer, Christine Herbold-Ohmes, Wolfgang Hiltscher, Bernd-Michael Hofmann, Otfried Krumbach, Sabine Lösing, Peter Malcher, Greta Mindermann-Lynen, Bernhard Preis, Frank-Helge Steuer, Anna Tarach, and Maria Truskolawska.
Conclusion: An Art Experience at the Heart of Göttingen
The opening of the Annual Exhibition of Kreis 34 connects painting, sculpture, and photography with a thematically diverse exploration of symbolism, identity, and human-nature relationships. Art enthusiasts can expect an inspiring aesthetic experience that reveals regional contemporary art and invites personal reflection. A visit to the vernissage and the subsequent exhibition enriches Göttingen's cultural calendar with immediate encounters with current art.
