When traces become images: Torhaus Gallery presents a finely composed exhibition project
With (Re-)stories – S(t)ories, the TORHAUS GALLERY in Göttingen opens a quiet yet highly concentrated art experience. The exhibition brings together painting, collage, and photography in a dialogue that tells of the visibility of time: of overlays, of remnants, of sediments of the experienced.
Material, light, and memory in visual dialogue
Norbert Schmidt-Mispagel works with painting and collage, while Karsten Knigge works with photography. Together, they create a consideration of work that understands layers not just as a technique but as a form of thought. The works respond to each other like fragments of a narrative: color compressed, spatially open, shaped by surfaces, lines, light traces, and the intriguing interplay between abstraction and representation.
An exhibition theme with art-historical depth
The theme of the exhibition circles around traces left by time and layers that only reveal new stories through the gaze of the spectators. Thus, the project touches on central questions of modern and contemporary art: How does meaning arise from layering? How does material transform into memory? And how can photography, alongside painting and collage, simultaneously refine and poetically dissolve the perception of reality?
The place: small, concentrated, atmospheric
The TORHAUS GALLERY at the City Cemetery Göttingen is not a loud exhibition space but a place of slowing down. This reduced exhibition atmosphere enhances the aesthetic experience. Those who walk through the rooms encounter art not as an overwhelming force but as concentrated observation: a fine interplay of space, work, and quiet presence.
Visit, access, and museum orientation
The exhibition runs from August 22 to September 20, 2026. The opening hours during the exhibition period are Saturday and Sunday from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Admission is free, donations are welcome. According to the available information, accessible access is currently not possible without assistance. Parking spaces are limited; arriving by bus is also an option.
Conclusion: A small space with a great impact
(Re-)stories – S(t)ories promises a clever, sensual, and visually precise exhibition that sets painting, collage, and photography in a lively context. Anyone who appreciates art as a discovery of traces, forms, and spaces of memory should definitely experience this exhibition live in Göttingen.
