Stone becomes Voice: Michael Schützenberger at the Stonecutter Museum Mühlbach
With the exhibition MYTHOS, MUSIC, BODY, Michael Schützenberger opens a powerful dialogue between sculpture, mythology, and space. At the Stonecutter Museum Mühlbach and in front of the town hall, figurative works meet the historical atmosphere of a place that is deeply rooted in the history of stone craftsmanship.
Myth as Visual Language, Body as Landscape
Schützenberger works as a sculptor, draftsman, and performance artist with stone, form, and density. His works connect the sensual-real and mythological worlds without exhausting themselves in mere illustration. Figures such as Orpheus, Amphitryon, or Beethoven's death mask show how the artist understands the human body as a carrier of memory, tension, and inner movement. The material remains visible, the processing is readable, and the sculpture gains its presence from resistance and transformation.
An Art Experience Between Museum and Outdoor Space
The exhibition unfolds at two venues: in the museum and in public space. This creates a special exhibition atmosphere where viewing the works is possible not only in the protected interior but also outdoors. Stone, light, and landscape enter into an immediate relationship. Those who observe the sculptures experience not only art history but also cultural education in the best sense: a reflection on myth, music, body image, and the language of form.
The Artist and His Artistic Stance
Michael Schützenberger was born in 1959, studied sculpture in Paris, Vienna, and Stuttgart, and has been working as a freelance artist since 1987. His practice includes sculpture, graphic art, music, and performance. In his biography, he emphasizes the search for the current image of humanity as well as for answers to identity, good and evil, and the place of humans in society. These questions also shape his sculptural work, which oscillates between figurative clarity and abstract dissolution.
Place with History, Space with Resonance
The Stonecutter Museum Mühlbach tells the story of sandstone extraction, stonecutters, and the working world of a place whose identity is closely linked to stone. This is exactly why Schützenberger's exhibition feels so coherent here: the historical spaces enhance the materiality of the works, while the outdoor area broadens the view of the sculpture as part of public life. The result is an intense art experience that convincingly brings together regional history and contemporary sculpture.
Anyone interested in sculpture, mythology, and the sensual power of material should not miss this exhibition. MYTHOS, MUSIC, BODY promises an impressive encounter with art, space, and narrative – definitely to be experienced live.
