Between Image and Word opens up a fairytale work world

The special exhibition BETWEEN SHAPES | HELGA GEBERT at the GRIMMWELT Kassel invites you to an aesthetic experience where illustrations become independent narrative spaces. The first comprehensive solo exhibition of the artist Helga Gebert makes visible how stories are rewritten, transformed, and reinterpreted across times and cultures.

Illustration as a vibrant narrative art

Helga Gebert is regarded as a pivotal figure in the renewal of German children’s and youth literature. Her work combines visual language, fairy tale material, and literary fantasy into a unique form of communication aimed explicitly at children and adults. The exhibition shows how illustrations not only accompany but also further the narratives, question them, and culturally enrich them.

A tour through worlds of images, fairy tales, and biographies

Between unpublished works, well-known book illustrations, and biographical insights unfolds a multifaceted art experience. Works related to fairy tale subjects, freely created works, and references to other artists such as Maurice Sendak, Helga Ruppert-Tribian, and Markus Lefrançois can be seen. Interactive, filmic, and auditory elements, a sound collage, and a film installation expand the artwork view to include space, sound, and movement.

Education for families, school classes, and the curious

The exhibition has a particularly strong impact as a place of cultural education. A puzzle trail for children, an exhibition catalog, and special guided tours make the contents tangible and accessible. School classes also find a pedagogically sound approach to fairy tale research, image analysis, and the interplay of text and illustration here.
