LIESL RAFF transforms the Kunstverein Braunschweig into a spatial experience
With Slant, Liesl Raff presents her first institutional solo exhibition in Germany at the Kunstverein Braunschweig. The exhibition runs from June 27 to September 27, 2026 and features a large-scale, site-specific installation that connects architecture, light, material, and movement to create an intense exhibition experience.
A space that changes with every perspective
The artist works with translucent materials, natural rubber, platforms, and textiles. As a result, the perception of the Villa Salve Hospes changes step by step. Windows, walls, and axes no longer act as rigid boundaries, but as parts of a finely tuned staging. For visitors, an atmosphere emerges between precision and openness, between quiet concentration and sensual curiosity.
Material, light, and movement in dialogue
Raff develops her works from a clear artistic signature: serial, spatially conceived, and physically tangible. In Braunschweig, she reacts directly to the classicist architecture of the building. The installation directs the gaze, condenses pathways, and creates situations in which the audience not only looks around but experiences the space almost physically. This is the special strength of this exhibition: it not only speaks of art but makes art palpable as a spatial event.
A strong profile in the international art context
Liesl Raff, born in 1979 in Stuttgart and living and working in Vienna, studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and stage design at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Her recent highlights include exhibitions at the Galerie Eva Presenhuber in Vienna and Zurich, the 15th Gwangju Biennale, and the Lyon Contemporary Art Biennale. The Kunstverein Braunschweig clearly marks its commitment to contemporary art with international impact through this exhibition.
Visitor experience with clear structure
The exhibition is designed as a walk-in installation, inviting visitors to leisurely wander through the spaces. The architectural interventions, altered sightlines, and subtle material contrasts create a calm yet compelling event experience. Those who appreciate contemporary art, installation, and curated spatial concepts will find a strong reason to visit Braunschweig.
Conclusion
Slant at the Kunstverein Braunschweig promises an exhibition with strong visual presence, clever curation, and extraordinary spatial impact. Visitors experience art not just on the wall but in the midst of the space. Anyone who wants to engage with a precisely staged, sensual, and atmospheric exhibition should experience this event live.
