The Pirna Summer of Sculpture 2025 - "Resonance"

Every year, from May to September, an art exhibition is organised at Sonnenstein Castle high above the city of Pirna, which may very well be unique. The interplay between the colossal forms of the former fortress and the figurative art creates an alluring symbiosis of these seemingly contradictory elements. The exhibition is a collaboration between the City of Pirna and the Kultur- und Tourismusgesellschaft Pirna mbH (organisation for culture and tourism) under the patronage of the Mayor of Pirna, Tim Lochner, and the Saxon State Minister for Culture and Tourism, Barbara Klepsch.

In 2025, the exhibition curated by Christiane Stoebe, winner of the Pirna Cultural Prize, will take place under the motto "Resonance". The aim is to create relationships - relationships between the works of art, with each other, with the space, with the visitors and, above all, with the experiences and inner images that are anchored in them. Sculptures by young Czech and German artists will be juxtaposed with works by renowned sculptors from both countries.

With works by: Jeff Beer (DE), Christa Biederbick (DE), Reinhard Buch (DE), Sonja Eschefeld (DE), Jakub Goll (CZ), Waldemar Grzimek (DE), Sabine Heller (DE), Jan Hendrych (CZ), Michal Hradil (CZ), Aleš Hvízdal (CZ), Anna Maria Kubach-Wilmsen und Wolfgang Kubach (DE), Livia Kubach und Michael Kropp (DE), Agnes Lammert (DE), Dana Meyer (DE), Martin Malý (CZ), Katja Neubert (DE), Sebastian Paul (DE), Irene Pätzug und Valentin Hertweck (DE), Vlasta Prachatická (CZ), Hana Purkrábková (CZ), Julia Schleicher (DE), Ludmila Seefried-Matějková (CZ), Petr Šťastný (CZ), Adam Velíšek (CZ)

The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue.
