For months she was doomed to die, at best found shelter in shop windows.
But now the art from the region at Tegernsee is getting a large open-air stage: from the weekend 20 artists will present their work in Kaltenbrunn at “Higstäid am Sehweg”.
Kaltenbrunn
- The project is called "Higstäid" - that is, placed there - and forms the summer outdoor edition of the exhibition "Hibatzld im Rinderstall" from last year. From Friday, June 18, 2021 until the end of August, an art platform by artists for artists, art lovers and creative people in search of their expression is to unfold around Gut Kaltenbrunn.
"We want to open and democratize art for everyone and give artists from the region the opportunity to create and reinterpret it," explain the organizers of "Hibatzld", Christine Otsver from Rottach-Egern, Klaus Peter Frank from Gmund and Eckard Rocholl from Warngau. Despite Corona, the 2020 Orga-Team created a spontaneous, improvisational art happening with a fair character and workshops with “Hibatzld im Rinderstall” - and received a huge influx of more than 2000 visitors over four weeks.
The artists now want to continue the platform character with the energy of summer before the “Hibatzld” exhibition is to experience a new edition in autumn. Last Thursday, Gut Kaltenbrunn's said platform was set up on the so-called picnic meadow. It forms the linchpin of “Higstäid am Sehweg”, here readings, musical entertainment, workshops and, above all, the exchange of ideas about art will take place. “It's the personal exchange and communication and togetherness that we missed during the lockdowns and that frees us all from old ways of thinking and also allows us artists to find a new expression,” says Otsver.
The photo artist herself, who mainly exhibits her “Light Paintings” in an urban setting, has found the courage to undertake her art project “Fully Gaga / Totally Gaga” as a result of the pandemic and all its accompanying phenomena.
During the previous lockdown, she interviewed more than 100 residents of the Tegernsee valley and asked what they were missing most in this literally crazy time.
The answers came in four languages (German, Russian, Italian and English) and were recorded in writing on a “rescue swan”, a swimming ring shaped like a swan.
The art installation forms a snapshot of society and is also intended to provide impetus during “Higstäid”.
Plans for fashion show, jazz concert and prose reading
To date, impulse events have been planned with a fashion show, a jazz concert and a prose reading. Young artists from the Tegernseer Tal secondary school are also involved with a “scarecrow project” and encourage interaction. "This playful, creative, detached, courageous, communicative and interactive element is what has been so fascinating at Hibatzld," says Matthias Strobel, director of Gut Kaltenbrunn with an affinity for art. That is why he is pleased that the artists are now playing “hands-on art” in the open spaces of the Käfer gastronomy for one summer.
Last week four gondolas including a "rescue gondola", which should eloquently save creativity in the valley, were set up around the platform.
They serve as small, corona-compliant gallery rooms that can be seen from all sides.
There, the exhibited objects change or are used, for example, as camera obscura.
Sculptures and installations along the "Sehweg" promote the happening character.
