Living is Luxury: An Artistic Experience about Spaces, Values and Societal Questions
The special exhibition Living is Luxury at the Huelsmann Museum is dedicated to the design of living spaces and the question of what luxury in the home actually means. Selected objects provide an art-historical perspective on furniture, interiors, and living culture – ranging from precious design, craftsmanship quality, personal memories to social realities.
When Rooms Tell Stories
Living spaces in this exhibition do not appear as neutral backdrops. Furniture and decorative items refer to social status, individual life designs, and the desire for security. The examination of the works directs attention to materials, forms, and design details that shape the character of a space.
Luxury between Aesthetics and Everyday Life
The exhibition questions a notion of luxury that is not solely defined by exclusive or precious items. Equally important are design quality, craftsmanship skill, and the stories things tell about their owners. This way, the curation connects applied art with cultural historical and social perspectives.
Living as a Societal Challenge
In times of rising housing costs and increasing homelessness, the title gains special urgency. Living is Luxury leads from the aesthetic experience of beautiful things to a fundamental question: Is safe and secure living space itself a form of luxury? The exhibition makes visible how closely interior, social participation, and quality of life are connected.
Cooperation of Museum, University, and Art
The exhibition project was created in cooperation with the Department of Image and Art History at Bielefeld University and the artist Paula Bansmann. It combines museum collection, scientific reflection, and contemporary design into an inspiring cultural education experience.
Conclusion: Seeing Living Culture Anew
Visitors can expect an exhibition that allows them to see furniture and living objects with new eyes. The Huelsmann Museum combines aesthetic experience, art history, and social discourse into an inspiring art experience. Anyone interested in design, interior, applied art, and the cultural history of living should discover this exhibition live.
