Recycling Material as an Artistic Stance

Anke Nagel's work currently focuses on the reuse of discarded topographical maps. This places a material at the center that lies between surveying, memory, and aesthetic reinterpretation. Useful graphics become art; orientation becomes contemplation. This attitude combines material awareness, collage, colorfulness, and the charm of the inconspicuous into a quiet yet precise artistic experience.

Between Line, Surface, and Imagination

The works open the eyes to cartographic lines as visual structures. What once appeared ordered, standardized, and functional now appears as a vibrating surface with painterly depth. The exhibition makes visible how a new visual language develops from archival material, reminiscent of collage, assemblage, and experimental paper work. It is precisely in this that the special atmosphere of the exhibition lies: quiet, concentrated, and carried by an aesthetic experience that slows down vision.

Inclusion and Art Education

A particular emphasis is placed on accessibility: The announced guided tour for blind and visually impaired individuals broadens the exploration of the works with an inclusive perspective. Selected tactile objects deepen the engagement with the artworks and demonstrate how art education can be conceived in the best sense as barrier-free, sensory, and educationally pedagogical. This opening aligns particularly well with a house like the Louise-Schroeder-Haus, which is regarded as a center for leisure, hobby, and initiative work.

Location with Social and Cultural Anchoring

The meeting place Louise-Schroeder-Haus at Hohetorwall 10 is a municipal meeting place in the western ring area, making it a place where culture, participation, and everyday encounters converge. It is here that the exhibition gains its special effect: art does not appear as a distant special space, but as part of a vibrant urban coexistence.

Those who visit this exhibition experience art from an unusual perspective: reduced in material, rich in effect, open for conversations and new perspectives on the relationship between map, space, and image. A visit is worthwhile for anyone looking to discover contemporary art with a sense of material, form, and cultural education.
