Ten Lives at Villa Stuck: An Exhibition about Flight, Memory, and Humanity

With Ten Lives, the Museum Villa Stuck opens an exhibition on 15.05.2026 that connects painting, photography, sculpture, and text into an immersive art experience. Delschad Numan Khorschid and Jan-Hendrik Pelz negotiate flight, trauma, identity, and longing in an exhibition atmosphere that does not claim empathy but makes it sensually experienceable.

A Space for Work Observation and Aesthetic Experience

The presentation does not center on the event of migration, but rather the traces it leaves on body, language, and image. Khorschid processes his flight from Iraq in paintings, photographs, and texts; Pelz responds with large-scale, often photorealistic images and sculptures. Thus, a reflection on the works emerges, where the personal and the political appear inseparably intertwined.

Painting, Photography, and Sculpture in Dialogue

The contrast between the media levels is particularly striking: here the condensed, biographically charged visual spaces, there the plastic placements of Jan-Hendrik Pelz. The exhibition thus moves at the intersection of contemporary art, conceptual art, and socially critical visual language. Each position sharpens the view for what remains invisible when migration is only discussed in numbers.

Art Historical Context and Curatorial Approach

Curated by Anne Marr, the exhibition is understood as a contribution to cultural education and public memory culture. In the historic artist house Villa Stuck, the theme gains a special resonance: The Gesamtkunstwerk of the villa meets artworks that negotiate vulnerability, origin, and belonging. This gives the exhibition a strong spatial and thematic tension.

Why a Visit is Worth It

Ten Lives promises no simple reading but a multifaceted art experience with high emotional and intellectual density. Those who appreciate contemporary exhibition practices, biographically motivated art, and social relevance will find here an impressive reason for a museum visit in Munich.

Conclusion: This exhibition touches, challenges, and opens perspectives. Anyone who experiences art as an encounter with the present and history should definitely see Ten Lives live at Villa Stuck.
