Der Thronfolger
Undine Bandelin and Dana Meyer

We cordially invite you and your friends to the opening with the artists on Friday, February 27, at 6:30 p.m.!

The heir to the throne symbolizes power that is passed on—rarely questioned and usually without alternative. He carries expectations, projections, and the constant pressure to slip into a role that was written long before him. Whether in political systems or at the dinner table at home, hierarchies, dependencies, and subtle shifts in power are constantly being negotiated. Between megalomania and vulnerability, staging and inner conflict, power reveals itself not only as domination, but as a fragile construct. The throne becomes a stage on which social and private roles are constantly renegotiated, asserted, or shaken.

In the double exhibition by Undine Bandelin and Dana Meyer, steel sculptures meet painting and form social allegories with a strong presence. Dana Meyer's freely forged steel figures oscillate between power and poetry, lending the material a surprising liveliness. Undine Bandelin transforms the pictorial space into a stage on which drama and everyday life lie close together.

Both artists respond to the tensions of our present day and develop their works processually from dynamics and movement. This results in a multi-layered dramaturgy that unfolds in the interplay between the figures and their psychological relationships.
