We aspire to be a catalyst for experimentation, learning and creativity, a gathering place for all and a home for artists and their ideas. The institution presents exhibitions, performances, and residencies across its three locations: The Museum headquarters in Biesenthal, a growing number of international Offsite, and The Artist House. Its program brings together artists working across disciplines and generations, with a strong commitment to experimentation, dialogue, and artistic production.
Wehrmuehle has hosted projects by emerging and established voices in contemporary art and continues to build a reputation for high-quality curatorial work and site-specific presentation. With a growing community of over 60,000 people across its public programs and communication channels, it is steadily expanding its role as a platform for cultural exchange and international collaboration.

( b.1994, Gothenburg. Based in Berlin and Gothenburg) works primarily with sculpture and performance. Her practice explores political ecology and emotional transference, inviting viewers to feel before thinking. Her hybrid sculptural forms balance liveliness and morbidity, while performances conceptually extend these works. Inspired by Jane Bennett’s Vibrant Matter, she investigates the vitality of materials and their affective power. Her works often evoke the fantastical and futuristic, prompting reflection on the human condition.
Motherform condenses Sally von Rosen’s creature-like vocabulary into a tripod stance: a compact torso lifted by two tapering legs, the neck flaring into antler-like extensions. The work holds a tension she often seeks—between violence and tenderness, roughness and refinement. Bronze enters the studio as fire and force, yet emerges from the mold smooth, durable, and strange, and that contradiction becomes central to the sculpture’s charge.
Von Rosen’s figures typically hover between species and states—hybrids on the verge of movement, inviting care even as they unsettle. Having shifted in recent years from resins and fiberglass to bronze, she now tests how her creatures endure outdoors and across time, embracing a medium that can be cast razor-thin yet survive for centuries. Here, the “mother” is both theme and method: the silicone mother-mold that first receives the form, and the monumental scale and bearing of a body that shelters, carries, and holds.

Wehrmuehle will open its doors in Spring 2026 for the first major institutional exhibition of Sally von Rosen.
