Opening of the exhibition "In the beginning is the tetrahedron. The perfection in the room."
Steel sculptures and wall pieces by Rüdiger Seidt

21 of July 2023

As light, as velvety, and as fascinating as Rüdiger Seidt's steel sculptures, Larissa Richter created an interesting piano program of rarely performed pieces from the Scandinavian region. With Carl Nielsen's selection "Folktune and Humoresque from Five Piano Pieces", with Rued Langgaard's pieces from the Insectarium and with Jean Sibelius' opus "The Birch Tree and Caprice", visitors to the vernissage were able to discover the individual sculptures from various perspectives in harmony with the music and absorb the wonderful calm of the unusual formal language. Prior to this, the joint walk to the 3.3-metre-high sculpture "Tulipa Rubra" at the Town Hall Square, which is part of the exhibition, enriched the examination of the artist's work. Rüdiger Seidt not only impressively explained his creative process in the design phase, but also described the extraordinary craftsmanship that he leads to perfection over decades of experience with the material and its processing possibilities. The result is a perfection to which there is nothing more to add. An entertaining dialogue between the sculptors, in particular colleagues of Rüdiger Seidt from Baden Württemberg, and the audience concludes the evening together in the Stadtstadel.
