Between Trace and Layer: a precise art experience in the TORHAUS-GALLERY
The exhibition (Re-)stories - (Re)visions brings painting, collage, and photography into a concentrated dialogue. Norbert Schmidt-Mispagel and Karsten Knigge open a space in the TORHAUS-GALERIE where time can not only be narrated but also made visible. The focus is on traces, overlays, and the aesthetic remnants of everyday life that suddenly unfold poetic weight in the art experience. Free admission is confirmed.

Layers as Visual Language
Norbert Schmidt-Mispagel works with painting and collage. For the series MURS DE FRANCE, impressions of weathered advertising walls, cave paintings, and graffiti have been condensed into new visual spaces. The works make the wall appear as a storage of cultural memory: surface becomes narration, material becomes meaning.

Photography as Trace Search
Karsten Knigge shows experimental photography that has been concerned with light, multiple exposures, and unusual image processes for years. In this exhibition, color traces on asphalt, faded road markings, and found gloves appear as silent testimonies of a moving present. The result is an examination of work full of atmospheric tension between documentary precision and lyrical alienation.

A Place with its Own Exhibition Atmosphere
The TORHAUS-GALERIE at the historic city cemetery of Göttingen is not just any white cube, but a culturally charged place with its own history. The exhibition is part of the 2026 program of the gallery; the regular opening hours during exhibitions are Saturdays and Sundays from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Admission is free, making the visit particularly accessible and attractive. ([goettinger-verschoenerungsverein.de](https://goettinger-verschoenerungsverein.de/torhaus-aktuell/))
Art Education and Access
The Torhaus-Galerie sees itself as a vibrant place for art, music, and readings. The environment at the city cemetery creates a quiet yet open exhibition atmosphere where aesthetic experience and cultural education connect. Those interested in contemporary art will not experience a loud staging here but a carefully curated encounter with material, surface, and image memory.
