When Sound Meets Collection: Alexander Tillegreen at Kunsthalle Mannheim
With Pieces for Works, Kunsthalle Mannheim opens an art experience that brings painting, sculpture, architecture, and sound art into a sensitive dialogue. The Danish artist and composer Alexander Brix Tillegreen develops site-sensitive, newly commissioned sound installations that do not illustrate selected works from the collection, but rather make them audible in a new way. The exhibition runs from April 2, 2026 to January 10, 2027; the date specified here is September 20, 2026, 10:00 AM.

A Space for Concentrated Perception
Tillegreen, born in 1991 in Taarbæk, lives and works in Copenhagen and Berlin. His education at Städelschule in Frankfurt and The Cooper Union in New York shapes a practice between visual art and composition. In his works, sound, image, and space meet not as separate disciplines but as a shared aesthetic experience. This is precisely where the quality of Pieces for Works lies: the exhibition expands the sensory field of the museum and connects the collection with a contemporary musical perspective.

Sound as Art Historical Commentary
For Mannheim, Tillegreen developed ten sound works that reference selected pieces from the collection - from sculptures to works on paper to paintings. The works thus enter into a precise dialogue with the museum's architecture and the history of the collection. Kunsthalle Mannheim, opened in 1909 and known as one of the early public collections of modernity, has a profile that seems particularly well-suited for such interdisciplinary formats. The result is not a loud staging but a finely balanced contemplation of the works that sharpens attention and expands seeing to include hearing.

From Collection to Resonance
Media reports and the museum announcement emphasize the special appeal of the project: Tillegreen chooses artworks as compositional starting points and creates autonomous works that coexist with the originals. This leads to an exhibition where the museum becomes not only a stage but a resonance body. Visitors to the show experience art mediation at a high level, combining cultural education, contemporary music, and museum precision.
