Eight artists are exhibiting in their studios on the first weekend in Advent.

Dachau – The Kleine Moosschwaige is full again.

It has been quiet in some of the five studios for a long time, but now one or even two artists are working in each one.

They are now happy to be able to invite you to the traditional joint studio exhibition on the first weekend in Advent.

Due to Corona, things had been quieter in recent years.

"Full House", so to speak, is also what Florian Marschall is looking forward to, who at the age of twelve has been creative in the Kleine Moosschwaige for a very long time.

He shows his ink drawings, old and new, made with patience and meticulousness.

"A colorful mix," he says.

The matchboxes and portraits as well as the toilet paper drawings created in Corona times, for example.

The originals of the new KVD Schafkopf cards or the original drawing of his organic waste poster, which was created as part of a campaign, should also be interesting for Marshal fans.

This is the first time he is showing it publicly.

Alfred Ullrich and his daughter Anna Dietze, who only moved into their studio in March of this year, have just joined the Moosschwaige team.

Because of the move, Dietze's pregnancy and the birth of her daughter, she didn't have the time for many new projects.

Nevertheless, they insist on being part of the joint studio exhibition and presenting works.

"As a start, so to speak, we would like to open our studio and welcome everyone who would like to take a look behind the scenes," invites Dietze.

She mainly shows prints – for example a very large one that she made during pregnancy and in which she also addresses it.

Martin Schmidl also only moved into his father Gebhard Schmidl's studio this year.

The two artists also share the premises and exhibit together.

Drawings and paintings on paper by Schmidl, who is now 91, will be on display.

"I'm showing a selection of my artist books that have been created in recent years," announces Martin Schmidl.

In addition, pictures are shown that deal with the graphic-theoretical work of Adolf Hölzel.

Schmidl made these using the oldest known painting technique - egg tempera - in which he mixed color pigments with egg as a binding agent.

In the case of Claudia Flach, it is particularly clear: Not only are works shown here, but they are also created here!

The kiln is in the next room, and the swivel chair is in the same room as the finished objects, such as vases in organic shapes, mugs with elaborate drawings, lovely ceramic animals or matcha tea bowls made of the special raku clay.

"In some new works I deal with the current situation in the world and with the problems that arise," says the craftswoman, who has had her studio in Moosschwaige since December 2019.

On the floor above, Karin Schuff and Margot Krottenthaler - since summer 2019 in the Moosschwaige - present their works.

Schuff mainly shows large-format, abstract reverse glass paintings, which are particularly attractive because of the color compositions and their many layers.

"You don't paint the layers from back to front like in a painting, it's the other way around, so you don't always see what you're painting," she explains.

Some things are intentional, but some things also come about by chance.

"That's very exciting!"

In addition to a few paintings, Krottenthaler is primarily showing linocut prints and is presenting them in a special way this year.

The monochrome linocuts on paper were drawn on thick wood and not, as is often the case, placed in a frame behind glass.

"As a result, the works appear much more approachable, are more direct," she explains.

While all prints have the common theme of human relationships in the broadest sense, she doesn't want to prejudge too much.

"Everyone should think for themselves," she says of her prints with people, hearts, beetles and other animals as motifs.
