Art at the Isar: A kickoff between river, sculpture, and public space
With the opening of Art at the Isar, Landshut transforms on June 27, 2026, into an open stage for contemporary art. The kickoff event begins in front of the Röcklturm and then continues into the artistic dialogue between accompanying exhibition, art walk, and a poetry-percussion performance in the METIS.
The river as an exhibition space
Few places are as impressively suited for a public exhibition as the Isar. Between shores, bridges, and water, a unique exhibition atmosphere arises, where sculpture, installation, and site-specific art directly relate to landscape and city. The art experience here thrives on movement, light, and the direct experience of space.
14 artistic positions, many perspectives
The exhibition presents 14 artists whose works range from cheerful-playful impulses to contemplative imagery. This diversity is precisely what makes the curating exciting: The works respond to the river, its materiality, its symbolism, and its historical presence in the urban space. Thus, art observation becomes an aesthetic experience that intertwines nature, city, and contemporary art.
Opening with discussion and performance
For the public kickoff event, the association Art at the Isar e.V. welcomes guests in front of the Röcklturm. Hermann Damböck introduces the project, and a greeting from the city leadership follows. Subsequently, the performance in the METIS opens another sensory layer: language, rhythm, and artworks engage in a lively exchange that atmospherically condenses the exhibition.
Education, mediation, and shared experiences
Particularly noteworthy is the educational and cultural approach of the project. The exhibition is not only seen as a show but as an invitation to engage with contemporary art in the urban space. According to the organizers, tours for adults and school classes are planned, making the exhibition attractive for cultural education and mediation.
Conclusion
Art at the Isar promises an open, multifaceted art experience between sculpture, installation, and landscape. Those who wish to not only observe contemporary art but also experience it spatially and sensually should definitely experience this opening live in Landshut.
