“Body” by Mariella Kerscher: An exhibition about body, memory, and transformation
In the KUNSTRAUM Sigismund Chapel in the Thon-Dittmer Palace, “Body” opens up an artistic experience that sharpens the view of bodily presence, materiality, and transience. Mariella Kerscher combines sensual perception with art historical reflection and leads visitors into a space between drawing, sculpture, and intellectual condensation.
The body as image, trace, and space for thought
The exhibition begins at the point where the body appears not just as a biological shell but as a bearer of memory, emotion, and existential experience. Kerscher works with fluid substances, organic references, and metaphors of the living based on existing descriptions. Her artistic language focuses on processes of becoming, coagulation, and dissolution, creating an exhibition atmosphere that is both concentrated and poetic.
Between drawing, object, and existential question
A look at Kerscher's work shows a consistent engagement with body images and organic structures. In earlier works, she examined hearts, placenta, and fragments of nature with great precision; her textual classifications also reveal her engagement with death, distance, and transformation. This artistic stance gives “Body” a unique depth: the exhibition becomes a contemplation of form, substance, and the fragility of existence.
A historical place with contemporary power
The Sigismund Chapel is itself part of the artistic experience. The Gothic space in the courtyard of the Thon-Dittmer Palace carries the presence of history, architecture, and silence within it. In this ambiance, contemporary art unfolds a particular resonance: light, space, and material form a dense constellation, making the visit an aesthetic experience. The location convincingly connects monument, cultural history, and current curation.
Opening, hours, and exhibition visit
The exhibition is on view from April 29 to May 22, 2026. The opening hours follow the established presentation format in the KUNSTRAUM Sigismund Chapel: Wednesdays to Fridays in the late afternoon, Saturdays in the morning and early afternoon. Thus, the offer is aimed at an art-interested audience that wishes to experience contemporary positions in a calm, concentrated atmosphere.
Why a visit is worthwhile
“Body” connects artistic sensitivity with cultural pedagogical relevance. The exhibition invites a rethinking of body, change, and perception while experiencing contemporary art in an extraordinary space. Those interested in exhibitions, art history, and current artistic positions will find a visit here that resonates and sharpens the view of the human in the image.
Conclusion: “Body” by Mariella Kerscher promises a thoughtful, sensual, and intense exhibition in the heart of Regensburg. The interplay of work, space, and theme makes the visit a cultural enrichment that one should experience live.
