A Matter of Perspective 19. Oktober – 12. April 2026 @lechnermuseum Ingolstadt
 The design concept of our current exhibition 'A Matter of Perspective' was developed by @offoffice Their visual approach emphasizes the material character that defines the works presented in the exhibition. Through a interplay of form, texture, and composition, the design concept reinforces the central theme of materiality, making it an integral part of the overall curatorial narrative. design: @offoffice @markus.lingemann @sarah.halbgewachs photo: @jensgerberfotografie public relations: @nickl.connect art education: @leidlklara @lauraosbild #contemporaryart #contemporarycurating #contemporarysculpture

Alf Lechner. Material als Akteur. Dominik Bais In the work of sculptor Alf Lechner (1925–2017), material steps out of its seemingly passive role to become an active participant in the artistic process. The new monograph Alf Lechner: Material als Akteur (Material as Agent) by Dominik Bais, opens up a production-aesthetic perspective on Lechner’s work, shedding light on the infrastructural and economic conditions of art production that are often overlooked. Featuring previously unpublished photographs, notes, and documents, and with a design that emphasises the material dimension of the content, this book offers fresh insights into the artist and the role of matter in artistic production. ISBN978–3–95476–728–1 256 pages, 140 color illustrations, softcover with flaps, title blind-embossed on the cover.

Material als Akteur. Dominik Bais Der Bildhauer Alf Lechner (1925–2017) prägte die Auseinandersetzung mit Stahl wie kaum ein anderer. In seinem Werk tritt das Material aus seiner scheinbar passiven Rolle heraus und wird selbst zum handelnden Akteur im künstlerischen Prozess. Die neue Monografie „Alf Lechner. Material als Akteur von Dominik Bais eröffnet eine produktionsästhetische Perspektive auf das Werk und beleuchtet die oft übersehenen infrastrukturellen und ökonomischen Bedingungen der Kunstproduktion.
