Exhibitions

A book is an object; a book is an idea. Books draw inspiration from revolutions, histories, and religions. What does it mean to make a book? Making a book means acquiring power over an object. Books are powerful items, containing entire worlds. They allow us to move through time and space, occupying many places simultaneously. Books rise above physical dimensions, allowing the reader to meet people of different periods and places, some of whom have yet to be born.

Sima Levin presents a new project featuring a series of engravings and woodcuts, created especially for her solo exhibition at the Hermann Struck Museum. In this series the artist combines the daily reality of her studio work with the figure and stories of Franz Kafka. These works create a visual texture that fuses reality and imagination, captivating the viewer with its melancholy and seductive European atmosphere

Today print has become a diverse medium that combines traditional printmaking with new materials and production methods. Digital technologies, for example, have been swiftly integrated into the printmaking process, while traditional techniques have come to rely on photocopiers, fax machines, and inkjet printers. These new technologies have not made other methods obsolete, but rather have expanded the range of options and possibilities in the print medium.

This exhibition presents a selection of Struck’s works from the museum’s collection, reflecting his entire artistic career. The exhibition also aims to acquaint the visitors with his home, through a display of selected furniture and personal items belonging to the artist.
The exhibition reveals Struck’s emphasis on portraiture and landscape.
