The exhibition by David Schnell (*1971) creates imaginary spatial images. Geometric forms meet pictorial imagery and, as in dreams, painterly details combine with remembered, associated abstractions. Schnell's paintings interweave different principles: cut-outs with depth, color fields with crystalline splinters and strong colors with simultaneous transparency. All works on display date from 2024 and were created especially for the Mies van der Rohe Haus. The artist lives and works in Leipzig.

Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited the Mies van der Rohe Haus on Friday, June 21, 2024. He was invited by the Association of Friends and Patrons of the Mies van der Rohe Haus to mark the 25th anniversary of the association. He was impressed: "You have created something great here on Obersee. Not only the memory of a great architect. The way in which you have made this memory possible is also great. By citizens for citizens. The Bauhäusler with their demand for transparency, openness and democratic participation would certainly have liked that. I would therefore like to thank you for this commitment."
The Association of Friends and Patrons of the Mies van der Rohe Haus was founded in 1999 and has since supported numerous projects at the house, including exhibitions, research formats, publications and cultural education programs.
