Katja Mater, Margaret Raspé, Bernhard Schreiner In A Silent Way. Sculptures around the SCHIRN. SCHIRN Kunsthalle, Frankfurt am Main, Germany 25 June 2026 — ongoing

The multi-part exhibition in SCHIRN’s public spaces translates fleeting natural phenomena into artistic experiences. The works enter into a relationship with their surroundings and the forces of nature — sunlight, rain, and wind, animals, and the rhythms of day and night. With restraint and care, the artists intervene in existing structures and expand them through their work, opening up new ways of experiencing the environment.

The first episode of In A Silent Way presents three installations, each entering into a relationship with the environment in its own distinct way. The partly newly created works by Katja Mater, Margaret Raspé, and Bernhard Schreiner make audible and visible processes that otherwise go unnoticed in everyday life. They amplify the sound of rain, capture the movement of the sun, or transform the electrical impulses generated by growing plants into sound. Starting June 2026, the artists activate various locations across the outdoor grounds — with rain drums hanging from the trees, a sundial that marks the entire site with the time of day, and a sound work that gives voice to the inner life of plants.
