Art of feelings: Nicole Weniger invites you to discover the Lake Constance picture space!

Nicole Weniger's exciting art exhibition opens on August 10, 2025 in the Bildraum Bodensee. The Tyrolean, who was born in Innsbruck in 1987, is known for her unique research into the relationship between body, space and memory. Her works often address identity and belonging in a constantly changing ecological, political and symbolic landscape.

The exhibition, which will be on view until October 4, 2025, primarily highlights Weniger's series “Homes”. In this series, she has created makeshift homes out of tents, clotheslines, and car parts located in inhospitable areas. These improvised architectures, which remain uninhabited, are not only shelters, but also projection surfaces for memories of a past “we”. Bregenz reported.

The art of the spaces

A central element of Weniger's work are the so-called “spaces” that exist between desire and defense, surface and depth, and intimacy and distance. In her work “Sensuality lies somewhere in between” resonance spaces are created through the interplay of material, gesture and atmosphere. This composition flatters the viewer and at the same time challenges him to question the boundary between the visible and the imagined Image space determines.

In addition to the “Homes” series, the exhibition also includes sculptural works and installations in places of disappearance, such as glaciers and the Atacama Desert. Striking objects made of clay and alpaca droppings are also presented here, which symbolize human desire. Less use of textiles as covers, traces or cultural remains shows how diverse and different the interpretations of her works can be.

Art and society in dialogue

Less's approach sits in the context of a broader trend that is redefining the role of art in public spaces. Since the 1960s, art movements such as land art and public art have worked to create access to art and promote dialogue with the population. Projects such as “Grenzpoesie” in Salzburg and “Art for the Sky” are examples of initiatives that address social issues and actively involve people in the creative process. Today more than ever, those responsible for museums, galleries and cultural institutions are called upon to enable cultural participation and to provide a space for reflection and dialogue, as reported Kubi.

In this context, one could say that Nicole Weniger, with her work and focus on intimate but also vulnerable spaces, makes a valuable contribution to this dialogue, which ultimately encourages people to think about their own identity and location.
