Sound, collection, and space merge in Mannheim's fascinating exhibition

Name: Alexander Tillegreen – Pieces for Works
Start: 2026-04-02
End: 2027-01-10
Location: Kunsthalle Mannheim

An art experience between sound, collection, and silent tension

With Pieces for Works, the Kunsthalle Mannheim opens a space where painting, sculpture, and sound installation react anew to each other. The Danish artist and composer Alexander Brix Tillegreen develops specially conceived sound works for the exhibition that put selected works from the collection into a fine, often barely perceptible resonance.

When art becomes not only visible but audible

Tillegreen's practice connects visual art, composition, and spatial experience. His works range between painting, sound, video, and installation. In Mannheim, this approach enters into a direct dialogue with the museum architecture and with artworks by Auguste Rodin, Francis Bacon, Rosemarie Trockel, László Moholy-Nagy, Anna Mahler, Edvard Munch, Isa Genzken, Édouard Vuillard, and Louise Nevelson.

The exhibition is understood as a walkable score: sound zones, subtle interventions, and immersive passages alter perception, attention, and tempo. Instead of illustrating the collection, Tillegreen focuses on parallel temporalities in which image, space, and listening shift each other.

An artist between abstraction, language, and psychoacoustic research

Alexander Brix Tillegreen, born in 1991 in Taarbæk, lives and works in Copenhagen and Berlin. He studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt and at the Cooper Union in New York. His works explore how abstraction, voice, memory, and psychoacoustic phenomena create meaning. This is where the special strength of his art lies: it does not demand a quick interpretation but invites concentrated viewing of the works.

His compositions include multichannel sound installations, audiovisual formats, and performative works. Recurring themes include shifts in perception, spatial layering, materiality, and the relationship between sight and hearing. Critically, his work can be read as a precise connection of contemporary sound art, conceptual exhibition practice, and sensitive museum presentation.

The Kunsthalle Mannheim as a stage for aesthetic experience

The Kunsthalle Mannheim offers the ideal context for this pre-reporting: a house with a strong collection, clear architectural presence, and high museum pedagogical competence. The exhibition unfolds its effect especially where the acoustic levels intertwine with the sculptural and painterly qualities of the collection. Light, material, spatial depth, and silence become curatorial factors themselves.

Visitors to the exhibition do not experience linear viewing but a multi-layered art experience. Working with selected works from the collection opens new interpretations of classical modernism and contemporary art. It is this connection of art history, curation, and sensory perception that makes the visit so appealing.

Why the visit is worthwhile

Pieces for Works promises an exhibition that reimagines the museum as a space for experience. It addresses art enthusiasts who want not only to view images but to experience their spatial and acoustic resonance. Those who engage with this exhibition will discover a sensitive, intellectually rich, and atmospherically strong connection between music, collection, and contemporary art.

A visit to the Kunsthalle Mannheim is absolutely worthwhile live: for the special exhibition atmosphere, the precise curation, and the rare opportunity to experience sound art as part of a comprehensive museum dialogue.
