As of April 2008 Die Neue Sammlung is showing selected works by sculptress Nele Ströbel from her experimental project Von der Haptik zur Optik (From feel to appearance) in a display installation.
Drawings, pictorial documents and models from the design process form the basis of discussions between the artist and long-time connoisseurs of her work. Visitors are invited to experience these dialogues with the subjects “World as a workshop” and “Everyday design situations and experiments” directly at the location of the exhibition.

Prof. Dr. Bernhard Waldenfels | A philosopher the focus of whose research is on Phenomenology and Corporeality, Waldenfels addresses, amongst other things, the questions of foreignness and otherness, lifetime and historical time, perception and image.
Herbert H. Schultes | The recipient of many awards, Schultes was Head Designer at Siemens AG from 1985-2000. The experimental studio run by him looked for new approaches to design – “a release from the corset of trammeled thought processes”.
Nele Ströbel | As “artist in residence” from 1985 through 1987, the sculptress was commissioned by Siemens Design to model and produce collages of studies for computer workstations of the future.
