Exhibition: In the Name of Love
Love was and is an important subject in art. People long to make love and love's sorrow tangible. Over the centuries, literature, music, painting, and sculpture testify to this eternal quest. The new exhibition In the Name of Love at the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung in Munich shows the many facets of love from 7 February to 7 November 2012. It will illuminate not only the light, desirable side of love but also its hidden, mysterious, dark side. And this with a material which is not often seen in art: glass and mixed media. Thirty objects by twenty-six international artists will be on view in the beautiful Art Nouveau villa in Munich-Schwabing. An elaborately photographed catalogue has been published in conjunction with the exhibition. It gives all those who cannot come to Munich a chance to experience the exhibition up close.

Exhibition: This side of Africa
Journeys are connected with a yearning for the unknown. The yearning to experience life differently and the wish to experience oneself with a different view of the world are our means of transport, much more than a car, airplane, or ship. These themes interest the sculptor Jens Gussek as well as the photographer Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek.

Contemporary Glass, Photography, and the Support of Science
Many fans of international studio glass meanwhile know the address well: The Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung is at home in an art-nouveau villa in Munich-Schwabing and exhibits contemporary sculpture and photography. The sculptures are made of glass, a material which interests artists rather rarely. The very versatile media has developed into an interesting area in art. Works with ambiguous messages have replaced applied forms such as vases or bowls. Artists address subtle abstract themes that cannot be expressed in the same manner with other materials.

Exhibition: Frozen-in Tension
Tension and relaxation, strain and rest – the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung in Munich dedicates this year’s exhibition to this complex of themes. Under the title Frozen-in Tension, more than thirty glass sculptures by significant international artists as well as works by the German photographer Jessica Backhaus will be on view from 29 April 2010 to 27 January 2011. The title of the exhibition – a technical term from the area of heat treatment – is multilayered: It addresses the subject as well as the material of the works. The sculptures made of hot liquid glass, now cold and solidified, seem at first glance to rest in themselves. After looking at them longer or more closely, viewers observe that the state of rest, harmony, and calm turns into subtle anticipation, distraught anxiety, or an explosive emotional force.

Exhibition: The Face – Lost and Found Again
We are all experts on faces equipped with an amazing ability to distinguish between a thousand unknown faces and recognize their different feelings. The face has always played a significant role in man’s social life. And in art?

Exhibition: Glass – A New Experience [2]
One of the goals of the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung, which was founded some years ago, is to introduce artists using the material glass to a larger circle of people interested in art. Therefore, exhibitions take place on a regular basis presenting different themes of contemporary studio glass and showing it as what it is - an own form of art.

A foundation and its goals
From the very beginning Alexander Tutsek and his wife Dr. Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek were enthusiastic about glass and its physical properties. When they started to build up their private collection of studio glass they quickly realized that this material had not yet found a foothold in German art.
