Art and design objects that you don’t just look at, but experience.
curious – creative space Lech is not a traditional gallery. The space within Lechwelten sees itself as an interface between art, design and architecture, and as an invitation not merely to admire works of art, but to understand them: with our eyes, with our hands, with everything at our disposal.
During the 2026–27 Art Winter, curious explores the origin of art: the material. Every work begins with a material and a hand that shapes it. What remains tangible once the work is complete? The eye provides only one answer to this question. Throughout the winter, a variety of formats open up access to each of these senses, transforming a visit into an experience that lingers in the body’s memory.
A DIALOGUE BETWEEN MATERIAL, FORM AND EMOTION
EVERY WORK IS HANDCRAFTED: FROM LAYERS, COLOUR AND LIGHT
The exhibition opens with the internationally acclaimed artist and designer duo Draga & Aurel from Como. Since 2007, the designer Draga Obradovic and the artist Aurel K. Basedow have run a studio and workshop there, where research takes shape. For them, art and design exist as two parallel practices that nourish and challenge one another. Today, using resin, concrete, salt, glass and metal – hand-cast and built up layer by layer – they create paintings, lights and objects in which the material itself begins to glow. Nothing remains hidden: the process is evident in the surface; transparency becomes an attitude.
Anyone who is curious is welcome.
Opening weekend from 4 December 2026
