Erik Sturm: Art impulses from Stuttgart in the focus of the exhibition Umbuchs!

In the municipal gallery Ostfildern, a new exhibition gives insights into the artistic examination of urban developments. The show with the title "Umbring" illuminates the much -discussed project "Stuttgart 21" from a very personal perspective. The artist Erik Sturm has established himself as a meticulous contemporary archeologist and shows his works that deal with both the structural and social changes in Stuttgart.

Erik Sturm, whose studio is located in the former boulevard Willy-Brandt-Straße in Stuttgart, uses his art to present the dramatic changes that the Neckartor has experienced in the past two decades. The exhibition presents a combination of drawings, photographs and impressive found objects that bring the history of this urban area alive and stimulate the viewer to think.

artistic reflection and social discourse

The work of Sturm not only provides information about the structural aspects of "Stuttgart 21", but also address the social and cultural implications of the construction project. "Stuttgart 21" is not only an infrastructural project, but also reflects the tensions and controversy associated with urban changes. Based on his works, Sturm addresses the relationship between the space and the people who live there.

The exhibition encourages to think about your own perception of urban space and the identity of a city. Sturm asks questions about the value of traditions in an constantly changing environment and researches the effects that such large projects have on the social structure of a city.

A central element of the exhibition are the reliefs "Neckartorschwarz", which impressively illustrate the transformation of the Neckartor. These reliefs, together with the other work, invite visitors to develop nostalgic and critical perspectives on the changing landscape of Stuttgart.

Erik Sturm manages to directly reach the viewer through his art and give him the opportunity to reflect. "Umbring" is therefore not only an artistic exhibition, but also a forum for discussions about the future of cities and the art that shapes our image of urban life. The exhibition remains open until further notice and offers visitors the opportunity to immerse yourself in the stories and conflicts that shape our modern city life.

The municipal gallery Ostfildern sets an important sign in the art scene with this exhibition. Erik Sturm's works help us to better understand and appreciate the complex relationships between art, architecture and social context.
