Exhibitions
The exhibition INVENTORY: PERSONAL opens on Saturday, 13 December 2025, at 5 p.m.
The exhibition presents the multifaceted nature of printmaking – in the tension between figure and expression. At its center is the human being – their form, presence, and inner and outer movements. From studies to abstracted shapes, from portraits to staged compositions, the works unfold a vivid picture of contemporary figurative graphic art.
Featuring works by Angela Hampel, Ute Laux, Emma Gunnarsson, Angelique van Wesemael, Klaus Walter, Sven Pfrommer, and Kerstin Ostwald. Complemented by sculptures by Lothar Seruset and Reinhard Thürmer. Curated by Tina Flau.
Profile
Neues Kunsthaus Ahrenshoop is the event forum for artist’s residency Künstlerhaus Lukas. Contemporary art and discourses are presented in exhibitions, festivals, symposia, readings, concerts, workshops, film screenings, performances, and workshops. International cooperation with institutions in the Baltic Sea region and a program at the interface of art and ecological issues form a focal point of the work, making Neues Kunsthaus Ahrenshoop a laboratory for contemporary art and a place of discovery, inspiration, and communication.
The exhibition program is dedicated to current approaches to artistic practice. Particular importance is attached to the exhibition accompanying mediation. Guided tours, artist talks and discussion forums are held regularly. For teachers and students, Neues Kunsthaus Ahrenshoop offers a wide range of educational programs and workshops. With its transdisciplinary orientation, it complements and enriches the cultural profile of the Baltic Sea resort of Ahrenshoop, which is significant in terms of art history.
