Ute Gallmeister
...She embarks on a kind of archaeological search for traces of the past, in which neighboring associations are added and the slowly growing pictorial form is repeatedly altered. This open-ended work corresponds to a layered composition of loosely structured surfaces that overlap, alternately concealing and exposing each other - sometimes with a sudden, violent gesture, as if something is tearing open and shaking the otherwise stable structure of the pictures. Their orthogonal basic grid creates solidity, yet the painting is light, even transparent. An immaterial space is suggested, where figure and landscape remain suspended as an arrangement: in the shape of the large, almost monumental color forms and the contours of a shadowy figurativeness running through them, which fades away in the open pictorial space, not without continuing to reveal itself as a trace in the sense of a thread waiting to be picked up again.

Exhibition series cubed | uncubed
The exhibitions at KUNSTraum SCHWERIN focus on a different theme each year. In 2026, KUNSTraum SCHWERIN is presenting the cubed | unc ubed exhibition series with five exhibitions.
The title cubed | uncubed refers to the tension between order and departure, limitation and development. "Cubed" stands for the architectural form of the space, for the framed, the ordered and for the visibility of art in the urban fabric. "Uncubed", on the other hand, opens up this framework, dissolves structures and carries the art beyond its boundaries into the urban space. In the interplay between the two concepts, the exhibition space becomes a place where questions are asked about the function and effect of art - as a source of inspiration, as a field of experimentation and as a link for social encounters. The boundaries between inside and outside are blurred, art is brought into the public space and is intended to attract and inspire locals, guests and art lovers alike. As a "meeting place for art", the KUNSTraum SCHWERIN presents diverse, surprising and exciting exhibitions that are constantly seeking to inspire new ideas.
The KUNSTraum SCHWERIN
The office of the Berufsverband der Bildenden Künstlerinnen und Künstler in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is located at Goethestraße 15 on Platz der Jugend in Schwerin. The KUNSTraum SCHWERIN is connected to the BBK M-V office: KUNSTraum SCHWERIN, an exhibition space for contemporary visual arts and a place for cultural encounters and exchange, opened in Schwerin in 2021.
In the conception of the exhibition program, the BBK M-V follows the basic principle of "art in urban space". Open, communicative and inspiring, the KUNSTraum SCHWERIN with its exhibitions of contemporary art, the diversity of artistic forms of expression and various event formats sets a new aesthetic and cultural focal point in the State capital Schwerin.
