Artist Talk with Liesl Raff: An Evening Between Material, Space, and Language

On June 27, 2026, contemporary art meets the calm seriousness of conversation at the Kunstverein Braunschweig. The artist talk with Liesl Raff accompanies the exhibition Slant, in which the artist develops a site-specific installation for the first time in Germany. The work transforms the basement of Villa Salve Hospes with light-permeable materials, natural rubber, podiums, and textiles into a walkable atmosphere of pause.

An Artist Who Brings Material to Thought

Liesl Raff works at the intersection of sculpture, painting, and architecture. Her works explore how physical and social relationships are inscribed in form, surface, and space. The current presentation in Braunschweig condenses this approach into an installation that not only wants to be viewed but experienced. This is exactly where the strength of this evening lies: The reading atmosphere becomes a conversational atmosphere, where language, voice, and material aesthetics converge.

The Exhibition as a Walkable Narrative

Slant is not a static installation but a spatial narrative. Raff intervenes precisely in the neoclassical Villa Salve Hospes and opens intimate zones of dwelling. Anyone visiting the artist talk gains insight into the artistic logic behind this setup: How does an installation arise that does not cover architecture but makes it newly readable? How does latex speak, how does textile react to space, how does material become a carrier of cultural significance?

Why It’s Worth Visiting

The evening connects cultural education with immediate contemporary art. Visitors experience an author encounter in the broader sense: not with a literary storyteller, but with an artist whose work argues as precisely as a good essay. The conversation promises insights into working methods, material choices, and the question of how art changes spaces of perception. For art and culture enthusiasts, this is a literarily conceived, intellectually dense appointment in the Braunschweig summer program.
