Ten rooms, ten worlds
Rezensionen zur Ausstellung Ein Zimmer für sich allein, Stadthausgalerie Sonthofen
“(…) Pain and comfort – and one’s own mortality. The latter is conveyed in a particularly impressive and touching way by Erika Kassnel-Henneberg. What remains when a person is gone forever? Such an abandoned room is a shrine of memories: letters, photos, yellowed notes… What significance does an old photo album have when there is no one left to tell the stories of these people? Erika Kassnel-Henneberg has brought them back to life virtually post mortem. A quiet, touching moment in the exhibition.”

Paradise with a Question Mark
“Erika Kassnel-Henneberg, born in 1973, trained as a gilder, designer, media artist, and winner of the Augsburg district art prize in 2022, often uses artificial intelligence in her work, sometimes creating eerie, sometimes quite disturbing results. (…)
(…) Depending on how strictly one interprets the Bible, some people may well take issue with who is associated with the Holy Family (which we will encounter more often in its classic iconography during Advent at the latest) and in what role. Erika Kassnel-Henneberg has used the AI mentioned above to create various identities, all of which revolve around the central element, a golden apple (remember: gilder!).” Paradies mit Fragezeichen” in: A3Kultur by Manuel Schedl
Happy colorful Birthday
“(…) Erika Kassnel-Henneberg provides a roller coaster of emotions with her work “Postludium” (…) What locals may recognize as the historic Augsburg Gaswerk, at least at second glance, could trigger other associations for those not familiar with the area: The bare, barred rooms in black and white, pipelines and signage, right down to the forged advertising slogan above the gate, all evoke – intentionally or not – unpleasant memories.
