Equilibrio in the Ulmer Metzgerturm: Art between Line, Tension, and Balance
On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the artist Johannes Pfeiffer, who hails from Ulm, will guide visitors through his exhibition Equilibrio in the historic Ulmer Metzgerturm. The tour begins at 10:30 AM. The tour combines contemporary drawing and printmaking with the extraordinary architecture of a medieval city tower.
A Leaning Tower Becomes a Vertical Gallery
The Ulmer Metzgerturm is much more than a venue for this exhibition. Across several levels, a vertical gallery unfolds where historical building culture, city history, and contemporary art meet directly. The steep wooden stairs, the unusual spatial effect, and the tower’s characteristic tilt shape the exhibition atmosphere, making each work observation a spatial experience.
Drawing and Printmaking as the Poetics of Balance
In Equilibrio, Johannes Pfeiffer addresses themes of tension, balance, and perception. His drawings and prints create bridges to a rope installation that previously transformed the Metzgerturm into an art object. Lines, graphic traces, interspaces, and material effects open a focused dialogue between picture plane and architecture.
Art Historical Context and Aesthetic Experience
The exhibition operates in the tension field of site-specific art, installation art, and contemporary graphic art. Pfeiffer's works direct the viewer’s attention to forces that pull, hold, and become unbalanced. This generates an aesthetic experience in which the fragile statics of the historical building connects with the precision of drawing.
Tour with the Artist
The tour offers art enthusiasts the opportunity to get to know the exhibition firsthand and gain insights into Pfeiffer’s artistic process. The focus is on the drawings, the prints, the connection to the rope installation, and the special relationship between artwork and exhibition space. Registration is not required.
Conclusion: An Artistic Experience Above the Rooftops of Ulm
Equilibrio promises an impressive connection between contemporary art, historical architecture, and cultural education. Anyone wishing to experience drawing, printmaking, and site-specific installations in an extraordinary environment should definitely attend this final tour with Johannes Pfeiffer in the Ulmer Metzgerturm.
