Museum visits

SWITCH II

For the second time, artists who have a connection to the Saarbrücken University of Fine Arts (HBKsaar) and the Light Art Centre come together to explore and stage the underground exhibition spaces in the context of their historical industrial architecture. The focal point of the exhibition is the versatility and complexity of light as a medium and as a material.
The 18 sculptural installations of SWITCH II are backlit, illuminated, projected, self-illuminated, scattered, filtered, split, allowed to grow, illuminated, controlled and composed.
In addition to the exhibition Switch II, we guide you through part of our permanent collection.

Experiences

Skyspace

James Turrell's colourful lighting experience Skyspace comes to life during sunset. Natural and artificial light meet at dusk and mutate the sky into a colour surface that seems to close down the room from the sky and yet is the sky itself.

The art work entitled 'Third Breath', which has been especially designed for Unna, links two perceptual rooms, Skyspace and Camera Obscura, and allows visitors to get a completely new visual experience.

Public Photo Tour

Among our visitors we see many photographers, and most of them want to start taking pictures as soon as they see the museum's charismatic installations and photogenic industrial spaces. Especially for these photographers we organize regular photo tours, where you have the chance to photograph at your own speed and wishes.

In a small group of maximum 10 people, you are accompanied by one of our guides during a two-hour shooting. Get your camera and tripod ready!
