In the open studios, guests can expect not only exceptional works, but also an informal atmosphere and a varied programme.

the Speed Talks, moderated by Annekatrin Döll. Here, artists and thinkers from a wide range of fields will have their say and offer short, concise insights into their work and visions. Visitors are given the opportunity to find out more about the background to the artworks and their creation. Open dialogue is an important part of the studio community // 24.05.2025 - approx. 8 pm

PERFORMANCE - The performance artist Lokke Wurm will parade through the rooms with a clown-like walking performance on both days of the event. Her humorous and unconventional style will not only make visitors laugh, but also make them think. // 24 and 25 May 2025 each approx. 15 - 17h
