Stefan Reiterer in Otterndorf, Germany
Museum gegenstandsfreier Kunst, Otterndorf, Germany
11 May – 10 August 2025
The Museum gegenstandsfreier Kunst, founded in 1974 in Otterndorf, northern Germany, is one of the country’s oldest institutions dedicated solely to abstract art after 1945. With its focus on colour, light, line, material and perspective, it encourages an examination of unusual artistic positions and promotes a conscious, sensual perception of the present.
The exhibition title ‘Inflection Point’ refers to the moment of fundamental change: a tipping point at which perspectives shift, systems become unstable or new directions emerge. Against this backdrop, Reiterer’s works open up a critical and at the same time poetic view of our increasingly unstable, mediatised world.
The exhibition includes new productions as well as an overview of earlier works and provides an insight into the artist’s work development. Reiterer works with digital media such as 3D prints, which he then paints in analogue. This creates an exciting interplay between the visibly hand-painted image and its digital origin - the boundaries between real presence and virtual construction become deliberately permeable.
This is the artist’s first collaboration with Phileas.
