Chez Christina—that’s French for “at Christina’s, at Christina’s home.” Not directly at home but definitely a private, personal space: Christina Kirchinger’s studio will temporarily turn into an exhibition space.
Three visual artists will travel to Regensburg in June 2026 to create new connections. Each artist will open their show with an artist talk moderated by Christina. We warmly welcome you to come visit and discuss the works, ideas, art, and the world!

Nina Aeberhard’s work spans photography and object. Her works heighten perception and challenge critical thinking. As thought materialized within itself, they unite opposites such as given-ness and being thought-along-with. An example: In handles made of glass, Aeberhard combines mutually exclusive elements into something unthinkable that challenges expectations. A handle is meant to be touched, to open or pull. Yet a glass handle is fragile, breakable. From the resulting question as to why, a compelling insight emerges: Fragility does not necessarily exclude access; it may simply require more careful touchings.
Aeberhard (born 1986) is based in Munich and studied Visual Arts at Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig (Diploma 2018) and was Meisterschüler under Ricarda Roggan at Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart.

Marile Holzner creates drawings on paper and relief-like objects from rolled materials such as paper, rubber, or foam. In her drawings, hand movements, the act of guiding and letting go are made visible. Linear formations expand, shift, or fan out, and oscillate within the pictorial space. Her objects, too, are characterized by slants and cuts, layerings, windings, and sequences. The materials are subjected to their own weight. Gravity shapes the objects. In both media, Holzner’s forms move between repetition and difference. In repetition, the supposed “error” is elevated to a constant transformation and—reinterpreted positively connotated—becomes a progression that the artist derives from a deviation in the ongoing development.
Marile Holzner (born 1983) is based in Landshut and studied Visual Arts at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München and was Meisterschülerin under Prof. Karin Kneffel (Diploma 2017).

Janine Gerber’s work embraces works with paper, on paper, and other materials such as concrete. In her paintings, she explores the properties and surface textures of these materials. Through a tactile-looking application of paint, Gerber renders visible what normally serves as a background and is being concealed: delicate, overlapping layers of paint highlight the relief-like formations of the paper. Thereby, the paint itself gains a “physical presence,” as the artist writes. Sheets of paper also acquire a sense of corporeality—or even physicality—when Gerber hangs them in the space, cuts into them, and rips them. These gestures are inscribed into the paper and bear witness to an act of violation in the sense of an investigation.
Janine Gerber (born 1974) is based in Lübeck and studied at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München and at Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee with Prof. Werner Liebmann and Prof. Katharina Grosse (Diploma 2006).
