Mythos, Music, Body: A Sculptural Exploration in Mühlbach
With the exhibition MYTHOS, MUSIC, BODY, Michael Schützenberger opens a space between sculpture, mythology, and sensory perception. In the Stone Carving Museum Mühlbach, the poetic language of sculpture meets the historical place of stone carving craftsmanship - an art experience that intertwines material, form, and meaning.
Between Stone, Sound, and Movement
Schützenberger's artistic work has, according to his own biography, moved for decades between drawing, sculpture, public space, and symposia. His biography refers to studies in Paris and Stuttgart, numerous exhibitions since the 1980s, and intensive teaching activities in life drawing, modeling, stone and wood sculpture. This connection of practice, mediation, and work development also shapes the view of his sculptures: They do not conceive the body as a rigid form but as a resonance space of memory, energy, and gesture.
The Exhibition Venue as Part of the Narrative
The Stone Carving Museum Mühlbach provides a particularly harmonious framework for this exhibition. The museum in the historic council and schoolhouse from 1903 tells the story of the stone carving trade and the Mühlbach sandstone tradition. Over approximately 120 square meters, visitors encounter vibrant stagings, historical exhibits, and the working world of stone carvers. It is here that Schützenberger's art unfolds an additional depth: The dialogue between contemporary sculpture and craftsmanship tradition sharpens the aesthetic experience and makes material history immediately palpable.
An Artistic Experience with Cultural Anchoring
The exhibition is embedded in the Museum Tour 2026 and makes the tour through Mühlbach even more attractive. The theme of the body does not appear in isolation but in the tension field of myth, music, and material. Those who engage in the exploration of the works will experience an exhibition that is not merely to be viewed but to be physically experienced: through spatial effects, surfaces, plastic presence, and the quiet power of the material.
Why a Visit is Worthwhile
MYTHOS, MUSIC, BODY combines art-historical depth with public accessibility, educational value, and site-specific atmosphere. The visit is worthwhile for all who wish to think about contemporary sculpture, cultural education, and the history of stone carving together. Anyone who wants to experience art with historical substance and sensory precision should definitely visit this exhibition live in Mühlbach.
