The Rathausgalerie is closed on Good Friday, April 18, 2025.

Susanne Wagner's installation MAMMA metamorphoses the Rathausgalerie into a garden of paradise. Over 700 fruits, cast in plaster and painted, fill the fountain like a giant fruit bowl and spill out into the art space. MAMMA, among other things the medical term for the female breast, opens up a wide range of associations as the title of the exhibition. It is mother and daughter who are exhibiting together here: Heide Wagner (born 1944) and Susanne Wagner (born 1977), two sculptors from two generations.

Heide Wagner is showing sculptures from the last three decades, figurative works made of plaster that are modeled on people and animals. Susanne Wagner has created new works for the exhibition which, in their materiality and fragility, relate to the works of her mother and deal at the same time very independently with the role of woman, the female body and its attributions.

The opening of the exhibition is on Friday, March 28, 2025, at 7 pm.

The event will be translated into German Sign Language.

The exhibition will be accompanied by events and art mediation programmes in German, German Sign Language and English.

Admission to the exhibition and participation in the programmes are free.
