Olympic Ice Moments: Landshut Icons in Focus – from 1968 to 2022

This photo exhibition celebrates the collective memory of a sports city: Curated by Alois Schloder and Helmut Stix, the exhibition guides through milestones of German ice hockey history at the Olympic Winter Games. Rare images, precise selection of pictures, and a clear curatorial line condense into an intense art experience.

Photo Reports that Make History

Selected photographs bring the bronze of 1932, bronze of 1976, and silver of 2018 to life as an aesthetic experience. In the examination of the works, grain, contrast, and lighting come to the fore; faces, helmets, and skates become iconic signs of an era. The exhibition atmosphere spans the arc from documentary rigor to poetic condensation.

Art-Historical Context of Sports

Between reportage photography, portraiture, and visual history, the presentation locates ice hockey as a cultural practice. The curation structures timelines, media visual languages, and national memory sites – a contribution to the visual culture of the Federal Republic, connecting sports history with museum education.

Landshut as Image Space

The Small Town Hall Gallery translates the dynamics of ice into spatial readability: rhythmic hanging, clear sightlines, tranquil passages for contemplative viewing of the works. The materials of the prints, their formats, and the subdued lighting sharpen the perception of form, color, and spatial effect.

Visitor Feedback

The reactions from visitors are clear: The exhibition excites art and sports enthusiasts alike. On Instagram, it says: 'Rarely does photography tell history so closely, so respectfully.' On Facebook, one reads: 'Between document and icon – these images get under your skin.'

Conclusion: For those who want to understand sports as culture, this diverse, well-researched exhibition is a must-see. Photojournalism becomes art, memory transforms into aesthetic experience. Absolutely worth seeing live – for a lasting art experience.
