Exhibition in St. Matthew's Church
Air, the invisible volume of a space, plays a special role in church interiors: as a carrier of sound for words and music, as the medium of breath, and not least as a symbol of the spirit, which, as an invisible force, connects heaven and earth, God and humanity.

Studio Nadine Schemmann
For St. Matthew's Church, Nadine Schemmann has developed a site-specific installation that makes the air volume of the church interior tangible: Floating linen panels connect the church's architectural zones into a cohesive pictorial space. Colors on linen become mobile, living forms, embodying layers, depth, and energy.
A visual dynamic emerges, a "current," a flow of color that connects heaven and earth, the air volume and the architecture of the church interior. In this sacred context, the works resonate deeply: The church interior, a place of contemplation, openness, and transcendence, becomes both the counterpart and a part of the painting.
The exhibition is curated by Lisa Botti, curator at the Neue Nationalgalerie, and Hannes Langbein, director of the St. Matthew Foundation.
