When Painting and Sculpture Enter into a Dialogue
At the Museum Altomünster, from September 27, 2026 to January 17, 2027, two prominent artistic positions from Germany and Poland meet. The exhibition Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue unites the Polish sculptor Remigiusz Dulko from Oświęcim, also known as Auschwitz, with the Aichach painter and writer Fabian Oppolzer.
Art as a Transboundary Dialogue
The exhibition focuses on the unifying power of art. Painting and sculpture engage in immediate exchange: surface and body, color and volume, light and shadow encounter each other in the exhibition space. This creates an artistic experience that opens familiar boundaries between genres, cultural spaces, and historical experiences.
Remigiusz Dulko: Bronze between Body and Memory
Remigiusz Dulko was born in 1955 in Lidzbark Warmiński, studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, and graduated with honors in 1979. Since the beginning of his artistic career, he has been working intensively with bronze and is involved in the creation process from the initial idea through the model to the final finishing.
His figurative sculptures navigate between the sacred and the profane. Themes such as human relationships, memory, spirituality, and symbolic condensation receive a physical presence through their plastic form. The bronze appears both warm and resistant; its surface captures the light and gives the sculptures a compelling, contemplative radiance.
Fabian Oppolzer: Painting with Literary Sensitivity
Fabian Oppolzer is rooted in the region as a painter, musician, and writer. For the exhibition, his paintings have been specifically matched with Dulko’s bronze art. This creates not just a juxtaposition, but a curated encounter where colors, forms, and atmospheres respond to one another.
The exploration of the works leads from painterly color resonance to three-dimensional form, from narrative hints to plastic presence. It is precisely in this interplay that the aesthetic experience of the exhibition lies: the eye perceives different materials while the space itself becomes an active part of the dialogue.
Cultural Education between Dachau and Oświęcim
The exhibition is marked by the partnership between the district of Dachau and Oświęcim. Two artists from different cultural contexts take up a historical connection and translate it into a contemporary form. Art appears here as an independent language of communication, where memory, encounter, and human closeness become visible.
In the context of the exhibition, a film about the relay race from Dachau to Auschwitz will also be shown. This expands the exhibition with a perspective of cultural education and historical responsibility. The calm exhibition atmosphere of the Museum Altomünster creates a concentrated setting for engaging with art, history, and society.
Conclusion: An Exhibition that Facilitates Encounter
Visitors can expect a focused exhibition featuring expressive bronze sculptures, painterly counterpositions, and a multi-layered cultural-historical context. Painting & Sculpture in Dialogue invites you to consciously perceive forms and materials, reflect on memory and understanding, and experience the unifying power of contemporary art live. A visit to the Museum Altomünster enriches the aesthetic experience and opens new perspectives on the relationship between art, history, and society.
