SPACE AND TIME, Stained Glass by Prof. Thomas Kesseler, April 6 - July 6, 2025

Architect, sculptor, painter and glass artist Thomas Kesseler presents the interplay of color, sculpture and architecture in his exhibition. The main theme of his work in the various genres of art is space in glass painting, as much as the sculptural dimension and seriousness of architectural form. On display will be windows and designs from his most recent projects, among others. These include works for the Aachen police headquarters, the columbarium in Siegen, the Boniface Church in Winterberg-Elkeringhausen, for the University Hospital Düsseldorf and the Sattler factory hall, as well as Franz Boehm's sculpture in Monheim. The

aspect "Where does glass come from?" is also documented, with much attention to his work and research at the Cistercian Abbey of Heiligenkreuz, Vienna.

THE ENERGY OF VARIATIONS IN THE FORM OF GLASS, An exhibition featuring work by Michael Behrens and Wilfried Grootens, Nov. 9, 2025 - March 1, 2026

Michael Behrens presents distinctive dynamic forms and structures, as well as challenging color combinations. His works receive international attention. Behrens' vision was and is to "create objects in which the energy of nature is visible and tangible." With this in mind, he has

created five sculptural series to date: Underwater, Seaforms, Landscapes, Phoenix and Evolution. The series of works Landscapes should be a focal point of the exhibition. With his stained glass and his glass works, Wilfried Grootens fills transparent geometric spaces, whose visual explorations create surprising variations

in form yield. Different perspectives on seemingly spherical floating forms, constructed from linear brush strokes and dots, open up new perspectives for the viewer within the object space.
