When Things Lose Their Function and Take on New Forms

The exhibition “Pennys – Judith Hopf / Alf Lechner” presents works by Judith Hopf and Alf Lechner in Ingolstadt. The focus is on altered objects, unexpected materials, and forms that question familiar notions of stability and function.

The displayed works invite closer examination: What makes an object stable? What properties do we associate with a specific material? And how does our perception change when an object no longer clearly fulfills its expected function? The exhibition provides access to artistic works that play with known forms and put accustomed assumptions to the test.

Familiar Viewed Anew

Judith Hopf and Alf Lechner engage with materiality, construction, and form in different ways. Their works make it clear that stability is not a matter of course and function depends on our expectations. Particularly, the shift of the familiar creates space for new questions and surprising perspectives.

The exhibition title “Pennys” refers to a presentation where small changes and unexpected connections can play an important role. Visitors are invited to judge the objects not only by their outward appearance but also to explore their impact, materiality, and possible significance.
