From April 26 to October 26, 2025, ten sculptures by the British artist will transform the Mathildenh\u00f6he, Rosenh\u00f6he, and the Spanish Tower Sculpture Garden into an impressive open-air gallery. Simultaneously, the Heidelberg Sculpture Park will display five additional sculptures starting May 18 \u2013 a cross-border collaboration that invites visitors to an art walk through two German states. Art in public space: Darmstadt as an open-air gallery The exhibition \"Tony Cragg in Darmstadt's public space\" invites visitors to a sculpture trail approximately 1.3 kilometers long, which uniquely combines nature, art, and urban experience. The exhibition begins with the work \"Points of View\" in front of the Mathildenh\u00f6he exhibition building and leads via the Rosenh\u00f6he to the Spanish Tower, where further sculptures \u2013 including \"Stack\" \u2013 can be discovered. The official opening of the exhibition will take place on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. in front of the exhibition building on the Mathildenh\u00f6he. Mayor Hanno Benz, who is also the patron of the exhibition, will give the welcoming address. Visitors can experience the sculptures in the public areas around the clock; the Spanish Tower sculpture garden is open Tuesdays through Sundays from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Nature as inspiration \u2013 works to touch. Tony Cragg's sculptures are characterized by complex forms, diverse materials, and clear references to nature. His works explore the origin, transformation, and transience of natural and life forms \u2013 an artistic dialogue between sculpture and its surroundings. The presentation in Darmstadt's public space is no coincidence: The city boasts a long history of artistic inspiration \u2013 from the Mathildenh\u00f6he artists' colony and the Rosenh\u00f6he artists' colony to the Spanish Tower sculpture garden, which opened in 2020. The exhibition will be accompanied by several guided tours. The first tour, led by curator Torsten Bruns, will take place on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., starting at the Spanish Tower, continuing through Rosenh\u00f6he, and ending at Mathildenh\u00f6he. Further information can be found on the BS Cultural Foundation Darmstadt website, and about the artist at www.tony-cragg.com. The exhibition will also be shown in Heidelberg. From May 18 to October 15, 2025, five works will be on display in the Heidelberg Sculpture Park, located on the grounds of the Orthopedic Clinic.
