Between Half-Timbering, Color, and Movement

The presentation connects the historic architecture of the Old Town with contemporary art. This suits a building that unites city history, half-timbered construction, and changing contemporary art with over 800 square meters of exhibition space and multiple floors. The exhibition thus opens a dialogue between monument, material, and artistic intervention. ([eppingen-tourismus.de](https://eppingen-tourismus.de/museum/alte-universitaet/?utm_source=openai))

Nicole Bianchet: Painting with Cut, Music, and Myth

Nicole Bianchet, born in 1975 in Los Angeles, studied painting at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe, was a master student of Gustav Kluge, and has been working in Berlin and the Netherlands since 2002. Her large-scale works on wood are created with a cutter that scratches the surface and visibly breaks the image skin; art-historical and mythological references expand the interpretation of her works. In her paintings, longing and abyss, sweetness and destruction meet. ([galeriehaas.com](https://galeriehaas.com/artists/nicole-bianchet-68218dc5/))

An Art Experience with Spatial Effect

Especially in interplay with the half-timbered facades, the banners unfold a special exhibition atmosphere. Color, wind, and textiles create a lively engagement with the work in public space, while the regional and cultural dimensions of the place become visible in the museum. This connection of installation, painting, and public space makes the visit an aesthetic experience between museum, street, and history.
