When movement almost stands still: Siegfried Kreitner's Minimalkinetics in Ulm
On Friday, October 16, 2026, the exhibition Minimalkinetics featuring works by Siegfried Kreitner will open at the Galerie Tobias Schrade in Ulm. The opening begins at 19:00 and includes a conversation followed by a tour of the exhibition.
Geometry, light, and dynamics in a quiet dialogue
Siegfried Kreitner works in the tension between concrete, constructive, and kinetic art. His sculptures and objects rely on clear geometric forms, precise materials, and finely tuned movements. What initially seems static develops into a sensitive play of light, surface, and dynamics upon longer observation.
Minimalkinetics as slowed-down perception
The term Minimalkinetics aptly describes Kreitner's artistic approach: extremely slow movements dissolve the hectic pace of the hyper-technological world and redirect attention to the smallest changes. Light surfaces shift, forms emerge, shadows change their balance. The exhibition rewards concentrated viewing and quiet lingering.
Between Minimal Art and kinetic sculpture
Kreitner's works relate to the American Minimal Art of Donald Judd and Dan Flavin as well as to the movable, technically refined objects of George Rickey. These art-historical references combine with a distinctive formal language of steles, cylinders, cubes, and boxes. The technical impression of the objects meets visibly careful craftsmanship.
An artist with years of exhibition experience
Siegfried Kreitner was born in 1967 in Simbach am Inn. He studied sculpture at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin, at the New York Studio School, and at the Akademie der bildenden Künste München. As a master student of David Evison and through his work as an assistant and lecturer in kinetic object construction, he possesses solid artistic and technical expertise. His works have been exhibited in museums, art associations, and galleries in Germany and France, among others.
Opening with conversation and tour
The vernissage at the Galerie Tobias Schrade offers the opportunity to experience the exhibition directly in dialogue with the artist and in the spatial context of the gallery. Central to the exhibition are sculptures and objects whose effects unfold through the combination of material, light, movement, and space.
Conclusion: Visitors can expect no loud spectacle, but a concentrated art experience with subtle movement, precise construction, and atmospheric light. Those who want to experience kinetic art up close and slow down their own perception should not miss the opening of Siegfried Kreitner's Minimalkinetics on October 16, 2026, in Ulm.
