Double Vision in Wasserburg: Two artistic positions, a new perspective on reality
With the exhibition Double Vision, AK68 opens a space in the former police station in Wasserburg for a precise, poetic, and contemporary examination of artworks. From Sunday, September 13, 2026, to Sunday, October 11, 2026, the works of Cornelia Hesse and Uli Schmid will meet here – two positions that do not confirm perception but shift it. The exhibition is an invitation to rethink seeing as an aesthetic experience. ([ak68.org](https://www.ak68.org/programm-uebersicht?utm_source=openai))
Perception as an artistic experiment
Cornelia Hesse has been working in painting, sculpture, and installation art since 2018; her artistic development combines legal precision with a concentrated, exploratory visual language. Uli Schmid, on the other hand, has been shaping sculptures from marble, gneiss, and granite for decades, placing special emphasis on tensions between soft and hard, rough and smooth, angular and round. Together, they create a dialogue about form, material, and reality. ([atelier-tage.de](https://atelier-tage.de/kuenstler/cornelia-hesse/))
Material, space and exhibition atmosphere
The rooms of the former police station on the first floor of the historic salt barn at Kaspar-Aiblinger-Platz 5 give the exhibition a unique resonance. An administrative architecture transforms into a place of open art experience. On around 400 square meters, sight lines, compressions, and quieter zones emerge, where sculpture, installation, and image reorganize the space. This repurposing gives the art experience a strong, place-specific energy. ([ak68.org](https://www.ak68.org/kontakt?utm_source=openai))
Origin, context and art historical relevance
Uli Schmid describes his work based on the immediate experience of stone. His sculptures are created by hand, often featuring highly polished surfaces and a pronounced sensitivity to materiality. Cornelia Hesse-Honegger, if referring to the artist linked in the research, is internationally known for an image practice oriented towards science and observation; her works have been negotiating nature, deviation, and fragile systems for years. Although the exhibition does not demand a thematic constriction, this breadth opens the view for art as a form of knowledge. ([ulischmid.de](https://ulischmid.de/))
Visitation framework and cultural education
The exhibition is open from Thursday to Sunday from 1 PM to 6 PM. AK68 sees itself as a lively place of cultural education and contemporary art in Wasserburg am Inn; the current interim use of the former police station makes the house an attractive temporary stop for discovery, discussion, and in-depth consideration of works. For art enthusiasts, a visit here ideally combines aesthetic experience and local art scene. ([ak68.org](https://www.ak68.org/kontakt?utm_source=openai))
Conclusion: Double Vision promises not a loud staging, but a clever, sensual, and focused encounter with contemporary art. Those who love art as an open space for thought should experience this exhibition live in Wasserburg.
