NEBYULA is an exhibition project initiated by Rosa Stern Space e.V., a curatorial satellite operating at a Lagrange point between institutional gravity and autonomous drift. Based in Munich, NEBYULA offers a platform for critical, experimental, and future-facing artistic practices that do not conform to disciplinary boundaries or aesthetic comfort.

Each curatorial cycle unfolds around thematic clusters that question systems of power, identity, memory, and technology. We curate with experimentation and urgency, not medium. Exploring new domains, realities, and possibilities, as a means of relating to our own.

Through NEBYULA, we seek to form translocal and transcultural alliances, working in solidarity with other artist-run initiatives and spaces around the world. Our approach is heterotopian, and speculative, engaging in long-term strategies for social and cultural transformation.

NEBYULA is not a fixed institution, but a conceptual expedition, a mobile site of possibility where radical imaginaries can be tested, co-created, and shared.

Rosa Stern Space e.V. –

Rosa Stern Space e.V. is an autonomous platform for artistic production and presentation, functioning as a subaltern counterpublic. Conceived beyond the constraints of institutional logic and market demands, the space serves as a collaborative and interdisciplinary network rooted in radical discourse, collective experimentation, and the critique of dominant structures.

The association’s projects span physical and virtual spaces, forming a participatory and discursive terrain for critical contemporary art. We explore the intersections of speculative technologies, social imaginaries, and the shifting conditions of publicness.

Rosa Stern Space is currently run by Julius Niemeyer, Alexander Scharf, Bradley Leonard, and Nele Ka, with advisory support from Kalas Liebfried and Constanze Metzel. Founded as a conceptual artistic work by Rosanna Marie Pondorf and Simon Sternal in 2017, Rosa Stern Space has since evolved into a hybrid of studios and exhibition zones—a site for negotiation, intervention, and shared becoming. Since 2022, the association has operated as a non-profit organization.

Rosa Stern Space e.V. acts as a force for critical exchange, fostering transdisciplinary collaborations, cross-cultural dialogue, and emancipatory forms of artistic engagement.
