Capturing the light in the moment
In 1889, during a travel to the Baltic Sea, Paul Mueller-Kaempff became acquainted with Ahrenshoop. Shortly afterwards he moved to the remote fishing village on the Darß and opened the St. Lucas painting school in 1894. The painter Elisabeth von Eicken also moved to Ahrenshoop in 1894 and had a villa built here. It was the pristine nature on the peninsula chain of the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft and the light there that fascinated both painters. → Read more
The brief moment of touch
A handshake, hug or light kiss on the cheek have become dangers. What until recently was completely commonplace, a friendly sign of human encounter, is suddenly no more. We have to keep our distance. But for millions of people around the world, a handshake is a familiar greeting ritual. So, the brief look in the eye and firm handshake of Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin in Geneva in June 2021 were a powerful sign of peace the world had been waiting for. It raised hopes for a revived cooperative period between the two world powers. → Read more
At the opening, visitors can look forward to a light and sound performance stretching across the entire castle hill. In a large-scale projection, Bracke lets the facade of the castle on the valley side shine in slowly rising and falling waves of light, flowing like breathing movements from the castle far into the Upper Rhine lowlands. The great arc of this light performance is the breathing movement of light. → Read more

Baedeker’s first trip to the Rhine as an artistic excursus
After Karl Baedeker took over Franz Friedrich Röhling’s publishing house, which had gone bankrupt, he had the latter’s first Rhine travel guide revised and published as ‘Rheinreise von Mainz bis Cöln, Handbuch für Schnellreisende’ in 1832. The publication was an expression of the emerging Rhine Romanticism. This first Rhine travel guide by Baedeker is the starting point of this exhibition.

Moon – Mercury – Venus – Jupiter – Mars – Sun – Saturn
KLANGLICHT has been bringing artists from all over the world to Graz since 2015 and transforms public spaces, squares and buildings with light and sound every year.

Janet Echelman transforms public places around the world with her giant net sculptures. Her art meanders at the intersections of light and art, between architecture, urban planning, material science, computer science and civil or aeronautical engineering.
Janet Echelman and our bond with this planet
‘Earthtime 1.78 Vienna’ is illuminated with a powerful and balanced light that draws soft lines even in intense colours like blue and red but even in delicate pastels. → Read more
In this exhibition, the sensory properties of light and colour are of particular importance. All artworks dispense with mimetic or depictive elements, they are non-representational or abstract throughout. They do not formulate a readable narrative. The show is about the perception of artworks and the highly diverse aspects of an aesthetic of difference. All works use light as a medium and reflect different lighting situations in their own way. → Read more
