Between Image and Word: Helga Gebert at the GRIMMWELT Kassel

The exhibition BETWEEN FORMS | HELGA GEBERT opens at the GRIMMWELT Kassel an impressive look at storytelling as an artistic process. The first comprehensive solo exhibition of the illustrator and author is presented, whose imagery connects fairy tales, memory, and fantasy in an extraordinary way. The show runs from 12.06.2026 to 24.01.2027 and is aimed at both adults and children.

An artistic experience between fantasy and precise observation

Helga Gebert's works create a special exhibition atmosphere: Figures, gestures, and scenes appear playful, sensitive, yet imbued with great narrative power. Illustration is not merely a companion to text here but an independent form of fine art. Those who engage with the works will discover a visual language that intertwines fairy tale material, cultural communication, and aesthetic experience.

Fairy tale worlds as cultural memory

The GRIMMWELT Kassel places Gebert's work in the context of fairy tale and storytelling tradition. Her images related to the Brothers Grimm's children's and household tales, to 1001 Nights, and to her own stories open spaces between tradition and reinterpretation. This is where the art historical strength of this exhibition lies: It shows how illustration became a medium in the 20th century that touches on literature, graphics, and cultural education simultaneously.

Curatorship with a focus on education and discovery

The presentation connects biography, history of the works, and mediation. Interactive elements, a puzzle trail for children, and an exhibition catalog deepen access for families, school classes, and art enthusiasts. The curation emphasizes comparison, difference, and narrative rhythm; selected comparative works diversify the perspective on fairy tale images and character representations. Thus, a vibrant learning space emerges that not only informs but also encourages careful observation.

GRIMMWELT Kassel as a place of cultural education

GRIMMWELT is known as an experience-oriented exhibition center that combines historical objects, modern mediation, and interactive installations. Visitors find a space that brings art, language, and literature into an open dialogue. Barrier-free access, audio guide offerings, tours, and programs for different target groups make the visit particularly accessible.

Conclusion: An exhibition that lets images speak

BETWEEN FORMS | HELGA GEBERT invites a poetic and simultaneously informed encounter with the art of storytelling. Those interested in illustration, fairy tales, children's and youth book art, and cultural education will experience an exhibition with a lasting impact here. A visit to the GRIMMWELT Kassel is absolutely worthwhile in person.
