For Ull Hohn painting was more than just an artistic medium – it was a space where discourse, technique, and personal reflections intertwined. At a time when painting was often seen as an exhausted medium, Hohn initiated a renewal that emerged from the practice itself. In his works from the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hohn explored the intersection of formal and political questions, exploring sexuality and the body. He experimented with painterly forms that navigated between mass media appropriation and the tension between virtuosity and amateurism, opening painting up for self-reflection.

7 pm
Moderated by Anna Gritz
Ull Hohn situated his painting in an intensive exchange with traditional painterly themes and the emerging identity politics of the 1980s and 1990s. Ideas of nature and naturalness were deliberately deconstructed in Hohn's works and placed in the context of current debates – characterised by the fierce discourses of the culture wars and activism in connection with the AIDS epidemic. In a discussion, the artists Thomas Eggerer and Nick Mauss will bring together their perspectives on the work of Ull Hohn – then and now.
Nick Mauss is a visual artist.
Thomas Eggerer is a visual artist and lives in New York and Munich.
The talk takes place in the exhibition rooms, in German language.
Limited capacity. Remaining tickets at the box office (from 6 pm).
The ticket also includes access to the exhibition. The exhibition rooms are closed for installation between 6 and 7 pm and re-open until 9 pm. The café is open throughout the day until 9 pm.

"Funny how differently people see the same thing. This darkness in this here gaol, the black here is not entirely dark…."
Anharad Williams, The last testament and will of me, 2024
Accompanying the exhibition Revisions by Ull Hohn at the Haus am Waldsee, A Fire in the Sky is a performance by the artist Angharad Williams featuring new and reconfigured writing that playfully reimagines the form of a journal. Williams interweaves timelines from her journey last summer to the dormant and active volcanoes of southern Italy with reflective writing on her approach to art-making. The performance also serves as an active response to Ull Hohn’s work, thinking, life, and times.
Angharad Williams (b. Ynys Cybi, Wales) is an artist, writer, and performer who is concerned with the role of poetry in our increasingly militarised society. Eraser, Angharad's first book of fiction, was published by After8 Books, Paris, and Kunstverein Düsseldorf in 2023. This year, Williams will release Now Watch This Drive, a limited 12” vinyl, with Concentric Group, London, and the Bauhaus Foundation, Dessau. Angharad is a teacher in the Master’s Fine Art program at Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, Zürich.
Admission is included in the exhibition ticket. Limited seating: First come – first serve (we kindly ask you to release seats for people with seating requirements if necessary).
The event is in German and English.
The café will be continuously open till 9 pm.

Historical guided tour with Dr. Christian Welzbacher
2 pm
Tickets
Haus am Waldsee invites you to a historical tour with Dr Christian Welzbacher on the history of Haus am Waldsee. In addition to the founding phase and the first years of the cultural institution, the prehistory of the building, which was erected in 1923, and its residents also play a role - three biographies that could hardly be more different: a Jewish textile merchant, a German nationalist manager and a National Socialist film functionary.
Dr Christian Welzbacher is a historian, publicist and exhibition organiser. Among other things, he researches the history of the Haus am Waldsee and published the text The Haus am Waldsee and its residents. An attempt at an approach.
The tour will be held in German language.
Limited tickets. Remaining tickets available at the box office on the day of the tour.

Accompanying the exhibition Revisions by Ull Hohn, art historian Hannes Loichinger will introduce the exhibition by Ull Hohn at the American Fine Arts Gallery in New York in the 1990s. The presentation will be accompanied by a screening of the film Colin De Land and Ull Hohn, New York, 1995 by Cosima von Bonin.
Ull Hohn's works can be described as an attempt to think of painting in terms of relationships. This idea is prompted by the juxtaposition of historical fragments, the individual pictures consistently shown in constellations or the weighing up of painterly codes and aesthetic categories. In this frame of reference, their subjective deployment lies in differences: between models and images, aspirations and achievements, painting in the context of a differentiating field of artistic practices. Such an understanding of painting can be discussed on the basis of Ull Hohn's 1993 exhibition at the American Fine Arts, Co. Gallery, which opened directly after the group exhibition What Happened to the Institutional Critique? curated by James Meyer. The lecture will outline some aspects of the model of ‘critical practice’ associated with Ull Hohn's exhibition and the gallery's programme, and will conclude by asking what self-reflexive approaches to artistic forms, modes of functioning and contexts can still achieve today.
Hannes Loichinger is an art historian and lives in Vienna. In 2012, together with Valérie Knoll and Magnus Schaefer, he published Dealing with-Some Texts, Images, and Thoughts Related to American Fine Arts, Co. (Sternberg Press) and in 2016, together with Magnus Schaefer, the monograph Foregrounds, Distances on Ull Hohn (Sternberg Press / Galerie Neu / The Estate of Ull Hohn).
The exhibition will be closed for setting up the event between 6 and 7 pm. The café will be continuously open till 9 pm.
The conversation will be in German.

with Elisa R. Linn and Baptiste Pinteaux
7 pm
Free admission
The first comprehensive monograph dedicated to the work of artist Bruno Pélassy brings together a wide range of installation and exhibition views, along with materials from his previously unpublished personal archive. Published by Haus am Waldsee in collaboration with Mousse Publishing, Villa Arson in Nice, Galerie Air de Paris, and the Estate of Bruno Pélassy, the book features texts by Florence Bonnefous, Marie Canet, Laura Cottingham, and Baptiste Pinteaux.
On the occasion of the book launch, writer and publisher Baptiste Pinteaux offers a lecture retracing the genesis of his essay “The Pilgrim of Angkor,” in which he places Pélassy within a larger framework of gay cultural history and the performative legacy of dandyism. In a subsequent talk, writer, educator, and exhibition organizer Elisa R. Linn will share insights from her ongoing research on “The Berlin Wall as a Condom,” which explores the activist and aesthetic practices of queer and migrant communities during the HIV/AIDS crisis on both sides of the Berlin Wall, with a particular focus on the GDR.
The lectures will be followed by a conversation reflecting on Pélassy’s radical embrace of fragility and kitsch, his deliberate refusal to produce objects of permanence, and the resonances between his work and the paintings of Ull Hohn—some of which were previously shown in the group exhibition Bruno Pélassy and the Order of the Starfish and which are currently on view in a solo exhibition at Haus am Waldsee. The discussion expands to address reflections on the aesthetic legacy of the HIV/AIDS crisis and artistic strategies entangling the personal and the aesthetic, aliveness and death.
Moderated by Pia-Marie Remmers (Curatorial Assistant). The talk will be held in English.
Baptiste Pinteaux is a Paris-based writer, publisher, and independent curator. Together with Alice Dusapin he runs the publishing house Daisy and the magazine octopus notes, which features academic essays, critical texts, interviews, and archival materials. He recently curated the first retrospective of French filmmaker Jean Painlevé at Culturgest in Lisbon.
Elisa R. Linn (Elisa Linn Roguszczak) is a writer, exhibition maker, and educator. She currently teaches at Bard College Berlin. From 2022 to 2024 she was the co-director of Halle für Kunst Lüneburg e.V. She is a graduate of the Whitney Independent Study Program and is pursuing her Ph.D. in philosophy at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Marina Gržinić.
The publication is available on site.

during Gallery Weekend Berlin 2025
from 2 pm
in English
We invite you to a joint guided tour at Fluentum and Haus am Waldsee. The tour starts at 2 pm at Ull Hohn. Revisions at Haus am Waldsee: A recurring theme in Hohn’s work, which ranges from figurative painting to abstract compositions, is the critical examination of traditional painterly issues — especially those of landscape painting. Ideas of nature and naturalness were constantly renegotiated and consciously brought together with current debates.
The second part at Fluentum follows at 3.30 pm with Rushes. Curated by Juliette Desorgues and Raoul Klooker, explores the pervasive influence of screen-based technologies on our daily lives, where private and public become increasingly enmeshed. Borrowed from the term “rushes,” used in film and video production to describe unedited footage, the exhibition title reflects the artists’ interest in the immediacy of recording, screening and broadcasting inherent to quotidian consumer electronics.
Admission free. Max. 20 people — registration at info@fluentum.org

Programme
There is something magical about words and what they do to us, and something singular in the way we use them. How to Move and Respond is an exhibition as text, in texts. A weekend-long programme to stage what language in and about art holds, is able to hold, and how. Conceived as a group show – one that throws discourse in the air like confetti (Estelle Hoy) – it describes an encounter, an attempt to fathom discursive relations.
How to Move and Respond is an invitation to artists and writers to read/present their texts in the garden of Haus am Waldsee. The exhibition unfolds on two levels: on the one hand, the texts or text-based works are read/presented in the form of readings, performances, audio files, or screenings. On the other hand what is written about, or the artists who are described, or the artworks that are discussed (but are not visible).
The complete programme can be found here.
Entrance incl. admission to the exhibition: 9/6 Euros

2023 version with Nadja Abt, Rosa Aiello, Gerry Bibby, Enver Hadzijaj & Karl Holmqvist
“This performance on its first & only happening used to be called Un Chant. Grotto Giganta: stalactite/stalagmite in 2010, & it was made for an exhibition by Susanne M. Winterling at GAK in Bremen called …dreaming is nursed in darkness, a quote from Jean Genet. The performance’s rudimentary, task oriented activities; in spite of their being disturbed & reordered, I thought tempered the title’s admittedly elaborate shape, assuming at the time the floral naming was appropriate when honoring Genet. I continue in that vein here.
In a time of much travel for both the sustenance of my personal economy & my art making alongside adoringly attending my then love in NYC, the work took one motif from Genet’s only film Un chant d’Amour. I’d taken others from it before.
Quite some time earlier as an unsuspecting teen I was ceremonially given a beautiful copy of Genet’s Our Lady of The Flowers (Notre Damme de Fleur, 1943). I’ve not been the same since. The taken motif from the film involved a small bouquet of flowers swung on a string by a muscular arm through a barred prison window, to another arm extending from another barred window expectantly awaiting, grasping for, this gesture of affection – the gesture also appears abstracted on a black background, sans prison landscape.
There are of course many forms of containment & coercion & attempts at escape therefrom, but thankfully incarceration like Genet’s is not the variety of power’s exertions we’ve been dealt to date. Pélassy, also a fan of Genet, & this exhibition at Haus am Waldsee give me the opportunity to re-figure the performance’s attempts to appeal for affection, with a host of companions, in spite of bureaucratic & other strictures. We hope you will join us.” (Gerry Bibby)
The reading will be held in English and German. Capacity is limited, we recommend to come early. Admission is included in the exhibition ticket.

In February 2024, Haus am Waldsee presents two parallel exhibitions by the American artist Jenna Bliss (*1984 New York) and the Scottish painter Carol Rhodes (*1959 Edinburgh; † 2018 Glasgow). The use of temporally or spatially distanced perspectives to reveal new angles on established narratives are characteristic of the work of both artists. Through these critical perspectives, geographic, social and historical contexts come into view. By combining everyday observations, speculations and meticulous research, the films, photographs, sculptures and paintings in the two exhibitions form a space in which fact and fiction meet and the larger bearing of structural human intervention becomes tangible.

Jenna Bliss, The People’s Detox, 2019 (film still), Documentary, 56:19 min. Courtesy the artist
To accompany the exhibition by Jenna Bliss, Haus am Waldsee is showing Bliss' film The People's Detox (2018) together with Madeline Anderson's I am Somebody (1970). Both films are set in hospitals in the late 1960s, in the midst of the civil rights movement in the USA, and provide unique insights into the bitter battles for justice and equality.
In her 2018 film The People’s Detox, Jenna Bliss uses documentary storytelling to explore the history of a revolutionary drug clinic in New York City in the 1970s that profoundly transformed contemporary notions of health and care.
In November 1970, Lincoln Hospital in the treatments to replace established South Bronx was collectively occupied by local heroin addicts, revolutionary health organizations, the political activist group Young Lords, and members of the Black Panther Party. Through political education, the clinic examined the role of global politics in the influx of heroin into urban centers and proposed new drug protocols that stand in direct relation to economically incentivized interests of the pharmaceutical industry. With the introduction of alternative treatments, such as acupuncture, the clinic helped transform the very apparatus of addiction and recovery.
Madeline Anderson’s I am Somebody (1970) chronicles the 1969 strike by Black female hospital workers in Charleston, South Carolina. Their 100-day protest for union recognition and equal wages was an intense confrontation with the police, state government and the National Guard and one of the major civil rights causes of the day, joined by leaders including Andrew Young, Ralph Abernathy and Coretta Scott King. Anderson was commissioned to create a documentary about the strike by the Hospital Workers Union Local 1199. She used archival footage and interviews with strikes and city officials. Anderson captures the nurses’ hard-won victory with the empathy and insight of a tenacious artist who saw her own long fight for equality reflected in their struggle.

With this format we invite you to discuss and reflect on the works of Carol Rhodes in the style of a salon and to become artistically active together. The artist Berenice Güttler will accompany you as you discover the exhibition and explore the garden together.
Unlike Carol Rhodes, Berenice Güttler does not work with oil paints, but with watercolor and textile fabrics. However, both artists explore surfaces, architecture and work with empty space and light. Both artists use drawing as a point of departure and reference.
We take Rhodes' preoccupation with landscapes from a bird's eye view as an opportunity to look at the plans of the former English landscape garden of the Haus am Waldsee and the Bruno Taut estate together with you. Guided by Berenice Güttler, we will use this map material to trace the magic of light and color in joint artistic exercises. We will discuss the horror vacui and the creative power inherent in the respective artistic techniques and learn to capture surface and space in watercolor.

With a lecture by Dr. Vera Tollmann
On the occasion of the launch of the exhibition-accompanying publications Jenna Bliss and Carol Rhodes, Vera Tollmann will give insights into her research.
"The first media images of the earth were created as by-products of space travel. Today we use GPS signals every day and satellite images are part of the working material of secret services, scientists and artists. In addition to historical aspects, Vera Tollmann discusses images created at the interface of space travel, digital image culture, remote sensing and art in her latest publication View from Above: "Powers of Ten" and Image Politics of Verticality (2023, Spector). Generally speaking, the central perspective of art history has dissolved into a mesh-like network of scattered focal points, sensors and perspectives, and the visual material has multiplied exponentially."
Vera Tollmann is a cultural scientist and lecturer in digital media. She lives in Berlin.
In German language.
The event will take place in the Gartensaal. Admission is included in the exhibition ticket. Max 60 participants due to limited seating capacity.

In this workshop, led by artist Nadja Buttendorf, participants will enter into dialogue with the works of Jenna Bliss. Nadja Buttendorf will present her own works, whose themes are similar to those of Bliss and have to do with power relations and structural changes. Methodologically, we will approach together the question of how the medium of film can be used to capture moods and clichés. We will discuss the challenges of working with collages of footage and collective memories. We will approach the problems of different power structures in different government systems and finally become active ourselves.
Please note: Please bring your own shirt or jumper for this workshop, which can be altered and printed on!

Combined guided tour from Fluentum Live Stream to the Haus am Waldsee Jenna Bliss & Carol Rhodes
2 pm, 1st part Guided Tour, Fluentum, Clayallee 174, 14195 Berlin
3.30 pm, 2nd part Guided Tour, Haus am Waldsee, Argentinische Allee 30, 14163 Berlin
Max. 20 people. Participation free of charge. The guided tours are held in German.
Registration at: info@fluentum.org
Live Stream shows videos, sculptures and installations that enter into a dialog with the stories and materialities of the exhibition venue. The group exhibition was created in an open exchange with five artists (Patricia L. Boyd, Jason Hirata, Nina Könnemann, Michael E. Smith and Matt Welch), who were invited to restage existing works in response to the Fluentum site.
Haus am Waldsee presents two parallel exhibitions by the American artist Jenna Bliss (*1984) and the Scottish painter Carol Rhodes (1959-2018). The use of temporally or spatially distanced perspectives that allow new angles on established narratives are characteristic of the work of both artists. By combining everyday observations, speculation and meticulous research, the two exhibitions create a space in which fact and fiction collide and the wider scope of structural human intervention becomes tangible.
4 pm
In the framework of the reading series 'a poetics', authors Dimitra Ioannou and Ed Luker will read from their current works.
In her reading 'The New Present Tense,' Dimitra Ioannou will compile a poetic assemblage comprising published and unpublished poems that respond to contemporary political and economic issues, contemplating language as a tool of propaganda, and suggesting ways of healing and resistance. She will read excerpts from her pamphlet 'Electric Sarcasm' and her forthcoming book 'The Mink List.'
Dimitra Ioannou is a poet and artist based in Athens. In her work she experiments with narrative or anti-narrative forms in various media (writing, photography, publications). Her publications include the chapbook 'Electric Sarcasm' (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2020) and the experimental novella 'Soy Sea' (Futura, Athens, 2008). Her (video) poems and photos have been exhibited in both solo and group shows throughout Greece. Additionally, she is the founding editor at A) GLIMPSE) OF) press, co-editor of the bilingual journal 'brossura', and runs experimental writing workshops named 'textlab'. Her books 'Terminal Mimosa ' and 'The Mink List' are both forthcoming.
Ed Luker will read poems from a collection in progress, tentatively titled 'Sky Gazing'. These poems work through bird songs, sunsets, skylines, shimmering trees, pink hues, orange fire, and blue waters as the sites of affective transfer between Romanticist yearning and the ineluctable contradictions of late capitalism, as we experience it through technological mediation, ecological catastrophe, fascism, and war. His reading will attempt to enliven the lyric voice as a place of emotional movement, working through the tonal variations of the present.
Ed Luker is a writer and poet based in London. To date he has published two full length collections of poetry, 'Heavy Waters ' (2019) and 'Other Life' (2020). He has recently published poems, prose, and critical essays in Poetry Project newsletter, Mubi Notebook, The London Magazine, Los Angeles Review of Books, Frieze, Tank Magazine, Jacobin, and Plinth. He is currently working on his first novel, alongside a play and a new collection of poems from which he will read for this event.
Admission included in the exhibition ticket. There is limited seating capacity, so we would kindly ask you to arrive in advance.
Organised by Beatrice Hilke and Vera Lutz.

Bhanu Kapil will read from two non-identical versions of Incubation: a space for monsters. Out of print since 2016, this hybrid poetic work was re-published in 2023 by Prototype (U.K.) and Kelsey Street Press (U.S.) Is the monster a phase of making that reverses a substance to an atomic layer? At the limits of diasporic figuration, what can the monster teach us about performance and shame?
Bhanu Kapil is a writer currently based in Cambridge, where she is an Extraordinary Fellow at Churchill College. She has authored six works of poetry and prose, including How to Wash a Heart (Liverpool University Press, 2020), Ban en Banlieue (Nightboat, 2015), Schizophrene (Nightboat, 2011), humanimal [a project for future children] (Kelsey Street Press, 2009), Incubation: a space for monsters (Leon Works, 2006; Kelsey Street Press; Prototype, both 2023), and The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers (Kelsey Street Press, 2001). Kapil is the recipient of a Cholmondeley Award, a Windham-Campbell Prize for Poetry from Yale University, and the T.S. Eliot Prize. For twenty years, she taught seminars in experimental writing, performance, and ritual at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. Currently, she is writing a novel of the forest.

On August 20 and 21, Nina Könnemann created objects from sanitary porcelain in the conservatory of Haus am Waldsee, drawing on methods of prehistoric toolmaking.
The production of stone tools is considered a significant milestone in the evolution of human intelligence, as it requires a high level of strategic thinking and planning. To create a spearhead, one must be able to envision the finished object within the stone and plan a series of sequential actions.
Today, the production of stone tools is known among hobbyists as "knapping." These enthusiasts attempt to replicate Neolithic artifacts, contextualizing their work with technical speculation, esoteric projections of Stone Age thinking, and invented narratives of survival and scarcity.
Since 2015, Nina Könnemann has repeatedly created works using knapping techniques to produce small-scale sculptural forms through pressure flaking by hand. Instead of stone, she uses discarded sanitary porcelain as an inexpensive substitute.
Following an initial live performance at Gandt Gallery in March 2023, where Könnemann presented the intricate process live for the camera on a Twitter feed, she once again broadcasted the production of her "lithic reductions" in real time from the conservatory of Haus am Waldsee. The two-day, non-public performance "Haben Frauen Steinwerkzeuge hergestellt?" is documented step by step on our website and on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the challenges and risks of the manufacturing process: every misstep can render the object unusable or destroy it.
Nina Könnemann’s solo exhibition at Haus am Waldsee will open in May 2025.

Opening as part of Berlin Art Week 2024

This autumn, for the first time in Berlin, the Haus am Waldsee in collaboration with the Georg Kolbe Museum and Sophiensæle present the artistic work of Gisèle Vienne (b. 1976). Haus am Waldsee is going to showcase a large-scale solo exhibition spanning the entire institution. Over the past twenty-five years, the French-Austrian artist, choreographer, and director has created a complex and idiosyncratic body of work that reconsiders our perceptual frameworks and invents artistic languages in order to pave the way for structural societal change. Vienne’s creations, both on stage and within her visual practice, are developed together with dancers and actors, and are often animated by anthropomorphic figures and puppets to explore the sensuality, rage, and creativity of counterculture in all its subversive potential. Through bringing together her philosophical influences and formal experiences, her work on stage and otherwise seeks to overturn dominant orders and to invent new artistic forms that explore the possibility of encoding the world differently.

Les Voix Humaines by Marin Marais
Hayden Chisholm – alto sax
Susanne Szambelan – cello
Les Voix Humaines is an instrumental piece composed by Marin Marais in 1701 and is considered the best-known work from his second book for viola da gamba. The renowned gambist and composer significantly expanded the repertoire of this instrument under Louis XIV. Hayden Chisholm and Susanne Szambelan present a new interpretation with alto saxophone and cello, in which improvisations and a shruti box also play a part.
Wabi Sabi à la Ortiz
Hilary Jeffery – trombone, trumpet
Martin Heinze – double bass
This piece is an open structure, created on the basis of a recercada - an instrumental piece that originally served as a free improvisational prelude for playing and tuning instruments. The piece originates from the famous ornamentation and gamba school “Trattado de Glosas” (1553) by Diego Ortiz, in which the musical themes are played from different perspectives, inspired by the Japanese concept of wabi sabi (intuitive, present, rough, relative, imperfect). The piece moves from a very abstract to an almost classical rendition of the main theme.

Antonis Anissegos – piano
The evening is dedicated to one of the most original composers of the last century and an equally original interpreter of his music: Erik Satie and Philip Corner. We leave the motorway and travel by bike on the country road along a route that promises different scents and sounds.
“If his piano pieces are so easy, why are they so badly played? What they have—this must not be violated—is an objectivity all the more solid for being so fragile...they resist all "added expressivity"; they make those who indulge sound ridiculous. Yet nothing is lacking in them.” (Philip Corner)

Estelle Hanania / Gisèle Vienne: This Causes Consciousness to Fracture
10 pm
Talk between Gisèle Vienne and Anna Gritz following the performance Crowd at Sophiensælen
In sensitive photographs, Estelle Hanania captures the charged, violent and at the same time fragile and poetic moments in the works of artist and choreographer Gisèle Vienne. In her complex oeuvre, Vienne creates sign systems, new languages in which frames of perception are called into question. The photographs of props, scenes, stage sets and protagonists are condensed in the publication into exciting, concentrated snapshots of the influential stage pieces Crowd, EXTRA LIFE and L'Étang as well as the puppets that Vienne creates for many of her productions. Together, Vienne and Hanania present photographic documentation as artistic material and allow the medium of the book to be experienced as a choreographic space. The semiotics of bodies and photographs thus become a common language. The introductory text by curator Anna Gritz and a new, extensive essay by philosopher Elsa Dorlin are dedicated to this progressive and multi-layered work.
Published by Haus am Waldsee in co-operation with Spector Books. 180 pages, German/English/French, 152 colour illustrations, hardcover. From 8th of November on-site at Haus am Waldsee and Georg Kolbe Museum: 49 euros (special price) / In bookshops: 76 euros.

In the spring of 2023, the Haus am Waldsee presents the first comprehensive retrospective of Berlin-based artist Margaret Raspé (b. 1933 in Breslau), who created a significant body of artistic work in the immediate vicinity of the Haus am Waldsee over the past five decades. In her practice, Raspé developed an ideosyncratic artistic language that considers life and art and their everyday conditions in unison.

The artist Margaret Raspé (*1933) turned routine tasks of her everyday life into art. Using a camera helmet, a drawing pencil or photography, she focused on everyday actions such as cooking, mowing the lawn or doing the dishes.
On Family Sunday, we take a look at our own automatisms and experiment with artistic ways to interrupt them: Through automatic drawing, writing and physical exercises, we creatively challenge our perception of those unnoticed actions we perform every day.
The offer is directed at families with people of all ages (from 4 years). We invite you to look at and create art together - for artistic experimentation and exchange.

Forage and Feast is an exploration of urban space through taste: together we dedicate ourselves to identifying and collecting wild edible plants and “weeds” growing in interstitial spaces instead of highly domesticated and curated garden beds. Looking at vegetation as information can give us hints at soil composition, the presence of toxicities, heavy metals or lack thereof, surrounding activities, the presence of more than human co-inhabitants of the city, and much more. Gardening destroys such information, creating hierarchies and downgrading certain plants as “weeds”.
The workshop brings a new awareness not only to our surrounding landscapes, but also to the practice of eating and preparing food that has become an automatic process within our everyday lives, dictated by industrialized agriculture which has triggered a profound disconnect. Join us for a day of identifying, collecting, cooking and eating together to learn the local flavors of Berlin, becoming creators of food instead of consumers.
The workshop will be held bilingually in German and English.

Zehlendorf based artist Margaret Raspé (*1933) became interested in the connection between nature and technology and in questions of ecology and sustainability at an early stage of her career. Natural materials such as wool or honeycomb appear time and again in her artworks, which she brings together through video and sound art.
In the holiday academy, nature itself becomes the artistic material. We will use graphite and contact microphones to elicit unexpected sounds from patterns and structures that we collect in the large garden as well as in the architecture of Haus am Waldsee, thus making the unheard audible. In the course of three workshop days, we will create our own artistic scores for a sound performance from drawings and experimental test arrangements, which we will perform at the end of the holiday academy.
Conducted by: Gregor Kasper (artist and art mediator)
Gregor Kasper works with different media such as video, sound and installation. Among other things, he deals with memory practices or visions of the future. His works are presented at exhibitions and film festivals worldwide.

"Trash The Musical" features a wild post-cinematic collage of performance artist Alicia McDaid's recordings. During her months of cleaning up, her uncle's house served as a daily backdrop for vocal performances and bizarre self-dramatisations for McDaid's online accounts. One's own domestic environment as a performative investigation of perceptive processes is also central to the work of Margaret Raspé: already in 1971, she developed the so-called "camera helmet", which enabled her to film her automated everyday processes, including housework. The resulting works in the exhibition "Automatik" present the artist's lived realities and question social and societal structures.
The guided tour will be held in German.
a reading with Mira Mattar & Lotte L.S.
4 pm
Without registration, admission included in the exhibition ticket.
On the occasion of the exhibition Automatik by Margaret Raspé, the UK-based writers Mira Mattar and Lotte L.S. will read together from their recent texts.
Alongside new poems, Lotte L.S. will read from her essay collection A town, three cities, a fig, a riot, two blue hyacinths, three beginnings, five letters, a ‘death’, two solitudes, facades, four loose dogs, a doppelganger, a likeness, three airport floors, thirty-six weeks… – a series of poetic reflections on riots and collectivity, poetry and solitude that seek to understand what is included or excluded in the languaged record of individual and communal memory. In doing so, Lotte L.S. traces a politics and a poetics through the cities of Marseille, Athens, Kyiv, and the town of Great Yarmouth to ask, amidst the crises of our time: "When is your poetics, your politics, not implicated in someone else's?"
Mira Mattar will read from her anti-bildungsroman Yes, I Am A Destroyer, a "fabulously grotesque encyclopedia of sensing“ dedicated to female anger: "Scrubbing, washing, chewing, frigging, barfing, stealing, moisturising, shitting: every surface, every gesture, is appropriated to her bodily resistance", as Lisa Robertson writes. Furthermore, Mattar will present excerpts from her long poem "Affiliation", which negotiates the parallel logics of accretion and disintegration in Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and the UK.
About the authors:
Lotte L.S. is a poet living in Great Yarmouth (UK). Her most recent texts have been published by Tripwire and Halle für Kunst Lüneburg, among others. In addition to her own writing, she occasionally publishes texts by other authors – most recently, for example, she co-edited an English translation of poems by Moroccan poet and Marxist feminist Saïda Menebhi, who passed away in prison during a hunger strike in 1977 (See Red Press, 2021). Since 2021, Lotte has been the editor of a publication series focusing on overlooked stories and biographies from Great Yarmouth.
Mira Mattar writes fiction and poetry. Her novel, Yes, I Am A Destroyer was published in 2020 by Ma Bibliothèque and her chapbook, Affiliation, was published in 2021 by Sad Press. Her first collection of poems, The Bow, was recently published by The 87 Press. A new chapbook is forthcoming from Veer2. She lives and works in London.
The reading will be in English.

The artist Margaret Raspé (*1933) turned routine tasks of her everyday life into art. Using a camera helmet, a drawing pencil or photography, she focused on everyday actions such as cooking, mowing the lawn or doing the dishes.
On Family Sunday, we take a look at our own automatisms and experiment with artistic ways to interrupt them: Through automatic drawing, writing and physical exercises, we creatively challenge our perception of those unnoticed actions we perform every day.
The offer is directed at families with people of all ages (from 4 years). We invite you to look at and create art together - for artistic experimentation and exchange.
Workshop held by: Luise Bichler
20.5. – 21.5.23
Programme
An exhibition as text/in texts. A weekend-long programme to stage what language in and about art holds, is able to hold, and how. Conceived as a group show – one that throws discourse in the air like confetti (Estelle Hoy) – it describes an encounter, an attempt to sound our discursive relations.
Anastenária – Das Fest der Feuerläufer von Lagadás
6 pm
Kino Arsenal Berlin
TICKETS
In her cinematic oeuvre, Margaret Raspé examines automated everyday processes and actions, which she also retraces using her own body. Questions of perception, spirituality, and healing play central roles. Between 1978 and 1985, Raspé accompanied the Anastenarides, a group of Christian families in Greece that celebrate Saint Constantine’s name day with an annual firewalking ritual. ANASTENARIA - DAS FEST DER FEUERLÄUFER VON LAGADÁS (BRD 1985) explores the interaction between body and mind, and the communal ecstasy and knowledge that have been passed down through generations. The documentary will screen alongside Maya Deren’s DIVINE HORSEMEN: THE LIVING GODS OF HAITI (USA 1951), which is a cinematic exploration of Haitian dance and depicts the preparations for a celebration of the deity Lwa. The screening will take place in the context of the exhibition of Margaret Raspé's work at the Haus am Waldsee. In cooperation with the Deutsche Kinemathek.
With an introduction by Anna Gritz.
4 pm
Weather permitting, the event will take place in the garden, admission included in the exhibition ticket.
Karolin Meunier presents a new combination of texts. With the reading "Radius", she uses essayistic fragments to explore the limits of research and the handling of cinematic references. The occasion for the invitation is her contribution to the catalogue of the exhibition "Margaret Raspé: Automatik". Meunier's practice is characterised by an engagement with conceptual feminist modes of writing and speaking. The starting point is often notes, interviews or autofictional writings and films that are themselves dialogical in nature.
Karolin Meunier is an artist and author in Berlin. Her performances, texts and video works have been shown at GAK Bremen, Lenbachhaus Munich, South London Gallery and the Locarno Film Festival, among others. Most recently, the performance script "Aller-retour et aller" was published in the publication series of the Harun Farocki Institute.

Her works follow the structures and narratives of existing buildings, conjuring up real and imaginary stories through temporary installations and alterations. Curated by Beatrice Hilke
The exhibition is realised in two chapters, in partnership with Bonner Kunstverein (March 25–July 30, 2023 curated by Fatima Hellberg).

experiencing and creating architecture artistically
2. – 4.8.2023
The exploration of architectural, social and emotional spaces is a central aspect of Tolia Astakhishvili's work. As part of the exhibition "The First Finger (chapter II)" at the Haus am Waldsee, the artist uses built-in elements to engage with the rooms of the former residence and transform their meaning and effect.
In this holiday academy, we will embark on a playful journey through colours, shapes and surfaces. We will explore the perception of space with different artistic methods. First, we will experience the space by moving together, then we will dissect it by drawing. Eventually, we create sculptural models of space and stage them together.
Cost: 30 euros for all 3 days
The holiday academy takes place in the studio and garden of the Haus am Waldsee.
Participation is limited to a maximum of 12 children (aged 8-12).
Registration is requested by 26 July at the latest by purchasing a ticket on our website.
Realisation: Agrina Vllasaliu (artist and art mediator)
In her artistic practice, Agrina Vllasaliu combines different media such as photography, installation, sculpture and video. Her artistic interests focus on areas such as identity, migration, transgenerational trauma and the borders between home and homeland. Vllasaliu's work is presented at international exhibitions and festivals.

Alongside her new novel-in-progress, Notebooks of a She-Dandy, Robertson will read from The Baudelaire Fractal – her debut novel, which recounts a mystical experience of the young poet Hazel Brown, who wakes up one morning in a hotel room to realize she has written the complete works of Baudelaire. The protagonist moves fluidly between the early 1980s and the present, from rented room to rented room, all the while considering such Baudelairian obsessions as the baroque secrets of urban space, fashion as metaphysical experience, and the cognitive play of painting.
Lisa Robertson is a Canadian poet, essayist, and translator. Her publications include prose and poetry collections such as Boat (2022), 3 Summers (2016), Cinema of the Present (2014), Nilling (2012), Lisa Robertson's Magenta Soul Whip (2009), Anemones: A Simone Weil Project (2021), as well as the annotated anthology Revolution: A Reader (2012), co-edited with Matthew Stadler. The Baudelaire Fractal was published by Coach House Books in 2020 and reissued by Peninsula Press in August 2023.

16.9. – 17.9.23 at the shore of the Waldsee
Artists Nina Beier and Bob Kil have developed a collaborative approach to the performativity of objects, bodies and contexts, exploring the interconnectedness and mutual influence between them.
On September 16 and 17, Haus am Waldsee will showcase All Fours: Life Guardians all day from 11am to 7pm at its lakeside, featuring five majestic marble lions draped with home textiles such as bath mats, towels, rags, and blankets. Standing in a close formation, the lions are framed by a group of performers who bring the inanimate sculptures to life through a carefully choreographed sequence of slow, synchronized equestrian movements. While the creatures pay tribute to the afterlife of monuments and serve as a testament to humanity’s illusion of dominion over the natural world, the series of minimal gestures depict the instinctive urge to interact with the insentient objects displayed in public spaces, recontextualising a landscape of found actions and objects. Through this juxtaposition, All Fours: Life Guardians reveals the collective and accumulative logic behind the production of commodities and the symbolism they convey.
Performers: Ashley Temba, Bob Kil, Chelsea Reichert, Ewa Dziarnowska, Suzette Sagisi
The sculptural part of All Fours: Life Guardians is currently on view in the park.
7–8 pm as part of the exhibition opening “Bruno Pélassy and the Order of the Starfish”
7 pm
Exhibition from 20.10.2023 – 14.1.2024
Haus am Waldsee is pleased to present the first institutional exhibition of French artist Bruno Pélassy (b. 1966 in Vientiane, Laos, d. 2002 in Nice, France) in Germany. Throughout his life, Pélassy embodied a complex and multifaceted persona, and his art defies easy categorization. He painted, drew, performed, created sculptures, films, couture and jewelry. Formal and playful material excesses tend to blur disciplinary boundaries, making it challenging to separate his artistic endeavors from his approach to daily existence. The exhibition delves into practice, functioning both as a personal and political engagement with the norms of desire, nature, gender, social values and health, as well as a plea for the dissolution of rigid binaries.
In the exhibition, Pélassy’s artistic approach will rub shoulders with selected artworks and ephemera by his contemporaries and current artists. The group show component will include contributions by, among others, Marc Camille Chaimowicz, Beth Collar, Jesse Darling, Brice Dellsperger, Leonor Fini, James Richards and Soshiro Matsubara, who will also devise the exhibition’s architecture.

On the occasion of the current exhibition Bruno Pélassy and the Order of the Starfish, the French writer and curator Marie Canet will give a lecture about the life and work of Bruno Pélassy and will subsequently be joined by Anna Gritz, curator of the exhibition for a joint conversation. The lecture will be accompanied by a screening of Brice Dellsperger’s film Bruno Pélassy: Family and Friends.
“Brice Dellsperger first spoke to me about Bruno Pélassy's work in 2007. We jointly organized a film screening at the Center Pompidou where I was working at the time. I never met Bruno Pélassy but I wanted to write a book about his work. I wanted to participate in the friendly chain of artists, curators and critics who sometimes talk to each other about the sublime work of artists who lived or survived on the margins of the institutions and consequently of the history…”
–Marie Canet
Marie Canet is a writer and curator based in Paris, professor of aesthetics in Villa Arson (Nice). Author of a monograph dedicated to the work of Bruno Pélassy in 2015, she recently published a monograph dedicated to Marc Camille Chaimowicz.

Beyond the palisades of gated communities where souls inbreed and consolidate...
In faraway lands where people don’t expropriate, delineate and domesticate...
At the bottom of the sea where things sparkle, twirl and disintegrate...
In the darkness where the monstrous walls of the nation state dissipate...
Where storms of kisses make me vacillate and knock hard on my heart's gate...
...that's where my love awaits.
(François Pisapia)
As part of the exhibition Bruno Pélassy and the Order of the Starfish, the artist François Pisapia is developing a one-hour programme that begins with a slideshow-reading inside the Haus am Waldsee and continues as a performative guided tour in the garden and along the lake, in which the artist interweaves fictional and documentary narrative strands. My Love Awaits in Atlantis Estates brings together existing materials from Pisapia's artistic engagement with architectures of alienation and neoliberal, heteronormative visions of private property with the resistant and sensual-utopian potentials of the underwater world, as they appear in the works of Bruno Pélassy.
François Pisapia (*1990, Montreal, CA) is an artist and organizer based in Berlin. His work with lens-based media and performance reflects on love and alienation in relation to notions of the home, landscape and private property. Pisapia completed design studies at Concordia University (Montreal) and graduated from the film class at the Städelschule (Frankfurt). His work has been shown at the Center for Contemporary Art (Glasgow), Städel Museum (Frankfurt), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Czech Center (New York) and Center Clark (Montreal). Since 2020 he has been organizing the Fool Moon Screenings with José Segebre, a travelling monthly program centered around food and moving images. And since 2022 he has been involved in the collective art space Cittipunkt (Berlin), where he co-organizes exhibitions, events and workshops.
We recommend warm clothing and sturdy shoes. In case of bad weather, the event will be postponed.

The bare branches of nature in winter invite us to study their shapes. In the workshop "Watercolour painting with plant colours" at Haus am Waldsee, we look at plant shapes in the garden of the house and let the shadows cast inspire us to create atmospheric watercolours. Both delicate and intense compositions are created from the plant colours. Nature becomes the starting point for realistic or abstract works. During the workshop, we will explore the production of colour from local plants and vegetables and deepen our knowledge of key watercolour painting techniques.

Did you know that Haus am Waldsee was originally called "Haus Knobloch"? In 1922, the Jewish textile entrepreneur Hermann Knobloch commissioned the Berlin architect Max Werner to build a villa in the English country house style - and had to sell it in 1926 due to financial constraints.
Who was the builder of this beautiful property? And who subsequently lived in it between 1926 and 1945? Thanks to generous donations, we were able to commission the historian and journalist Dr. Christian Welzbacher to research the residents of Argentinische Allee 30.
The author will present the resulting essay during a lecture and concert. Together with Rahel Rilling (violin), David Adorján (cello) and Annika Treutler (piano), who will play excerpts from the "Piano Trio No. 4" by Robert Kahn (1922),.

New objects for the future –
Collecting, gluing and visioning: A book full of new inventions
with Daniel Schaal (artist and art educator)
Each from 10 am to 1 pm
Why does a stool need antennas and why are there rear-view mirrors on a table? And what do you do with chairs that hang from the ceiling like bats? The current exhibition in the Haus am Waldsee raises many questions. In our lives, we are surrounded by a multitude of objects that we take for granted. The designer Konstantin Grcic transforms these everyday objects. Suddenly they lose their original function and become something completely new. What use do these altered objects have?
In the holiday academies, we invite children from 8 to 12 years to think together with our artists and art educators about what furniture and everyday objects of our future might look like. We will be inspired by the works in the exhibition to create our own unusual creations.
Cost: 30 euros for all 3 days
Participation is limited to a maximum of 10 children.

As part of the exhibition "Konstantin Grcic - New Normals", Haus am Waldsee is hosting a symposium on 7 May. In addition to Konstantin Grcic, the designers Johanna Seelemann as well as Lisa Ertel and Anne-Sophie Oberkrome (Studio Œ) will report from their everyday lives as designers and discuss which possibilities lead to innovative objects and projects nowadays. Which modes of collaboration are conceivable, which are also practicable? How does relevant design emerge and which questions does it have to answer, which problems does it have to overcome?
Moderated by the curators of the exhibition, Anna Himmelsbach and Ludwig Engel, Haus am Waldsee invites you to spend an afternoon in a relaxed and intimate, discursive and stimulating atmosphere on a journey into the ever-changing world of design.
Afterwards, we will end the evening with a BBQ (with vegetarian options) and you are cordially invited to further exchange with the participants.

"The societal challenges associated with climate change have entered the public awareness. Today artists are increasingly moving and interfering in this field. In and through his hydrospheric works, Markus Jeschaunig demonstrates both the limits of excessive faith in technology and idealized nature-based approaches, while suggesting solutions and encouraging a sceptical attitude towards technological megalomania."
From 2018 to 2021, the Haus am Waldsee presented the fog installation The Weather Project by artist and architect Markus Jeschaunig on the Waldsee. The book Fog, Water, Ice. resulted from the exploration of the interfaces between art and climate change, which the author presents in conversation with the graphic artist and designer of the book, Christian Hoffelner (CH Studio).

To mark the reopening of the garden, we cordially invite you to an outdoor print workshop.
Collected objects from the garden serve as a starting point for experimental print images with linoleum ink.
The offer is aimed at families with people of all ages.

The renovation of the house as a listed building from 2017 to 2019 has been followed by the restoration of the garden, an equally listed structure, under the direction of the landscape architect Georg v. Gayl and his team since October 2021. On the day of the reopening, he will reflect upon the process of the renovation and the philosophy of English Gardens with landscape architect Philipp Sattler.
Furthermore, the reopening will be accompanied by a programme of artistic interventions, marking the beginning of a series of engagements with the garden that will re-examine our understanding of art in the outdoor space for its potential to interact with nature.
As a starting point, two sculptures by sculptor Peter Wächtler will be presented on the opening day, alongside a performance by violinist and artist Ayumi Paul and a reading by author Kirsty Bell.

The figures that live in artist Leila Hekmat's exhibition have many faces. Often we only get to know one side of a person. But all people have very different facets, often invisible to the eye. Many of them are unusual, sometimes funny, sometimes scary. After a short excursion into a room of the exhibition, we invent our own figures with the help of a collage technique of the surrealists, the Cadavre Exquis, and bring them to life.
The offer is aimed at families with people of all ages (from 6 years). We invite you to look at and create art together - for creative experimentation and exchange.

In the exhibition Female Remedy, artist Leila Hekmat questions societal expectations of women, undermining supposed conventions of gender and sexuality. The Haus am Waldsee becomes the Hospital Hekmat, whose patients and "Krankensisters" turn conventional ideas of illness and health upside down.
One of Hekmat's preferred techniques is the collage. In our workshop, we want to examine and reinvent our own gender roles: Using the artistic method of the Cadavre Exquis borrowed from surrealism and other techniques, we will look for new forms of expression that reflect, critically cross and playfully expand the many facets of femininity, of normativity and deviation.

On the occasion of the exhibition Female Remedy, the authors Claire Finch and Rosanna Puyol will read from their current works.
Claire Finch will present their new experimental text project "Wormfuck Fuckcave" and read excerpts from their forthcoming publication "Baise moi Judith“: An anachronistic epistolary exchange including democratic theory, gender studies, and dildos, where love and the void question each other in action.
Rosanna Puyol will read from her poetry collection "D'l'or". Based on conversations with friends and artists, her texts explore artistic processes as well as conversation as a form and starting point for collaborative writing.
About the authors:
Claire Finch writes experimental dykecore texts. They have presented their hybrid work, which connects poetry, theory, and performance, at the ICA London, Badischer Kunstverein Karlsruhe, the Palais de Tokyo Paris and the Fondation Ricard Paris. Among their projects are I Lie on the Floor (After 8 Books, Paris, 2021), Lettres aux jeunes poétesses (l'Arche, Paris, 2021), and Kathy Acker 1971-1975 (Editions Ismael, Lisbon, 2019).
Rosanna Puyol is a poet and publisher who regularly collaborates with artists in exhibitions, performances and screening programs. Co-founder of the independent publishing house Brook, she focuses on translating essays and poetry engaged in feminist and antiracist struggles. Recent Brook publications include French translations of texts by Stefano Harney and Fred Moten, José Esteban Muñoz and Laura Mulvey.

Since 2005, Haus am Waldsee regularly invites for public dinners with the respective artist currently featured. In the beginning, the artists have cooked themselves. Later on, evenings have been combined with reading sessions or other themes and by now, the team from Zagreus Projekt from Berlin have been cooking for us regularly. We are looking forward to spend the dinners in our park during summer time and use our new garden room at winter time to bring artists and public together in a relaxed atmosphere. Take the chance to get to know the person behind the artworks, as well as other friends of the arts by booking your space.

Three artist lectures by Antje Majewski, Markus Jeschaunig, Patrick Rohner.
Among the artists who have been actively dealing with the rapid changes in the natural environment for years and conduct their artistic research on a scientific basis, three positions are particularly close to the Haus am Waldsee. The geologist and artist Patrick Rohner (*1959) from Glarner Land, Switzerland, the historian, philosopher and artist Antje Majewski (*1968) from Berlin and the architect, artist and activist Markus Jeschaunig (*1982) from Graz.
They will discuss the already dramatic changes in the Alps with increasing landslides and melting glaciers, the alarming state of forests and agriculture in Northern Europe, and urban spaces that will probably only remain bearable in the near future with additional cooling. The lectures combine artistic practice and current research. From the point of view of the multiply trained artists, they open up unusual perspectives and approaches to solutions on what is probably the most existential issue of our time.

Who says drawing is boring? The Tony Cragg exhibition at the Haus am Waldsee proves it: Drawing is much more than serious sketching with pencil on paper. You can draw with different materials. Sometimes large, sometimes small, sometimes with the hand, sometimes with the foot or even the whole body! You can draw on paper, on cardboard or in the whole room.
In the three-day holiday course, we let ourselves be driven by various drawing experiments and playfully approach everything that drawing can be. You'll be surprised!

Tony Cragg is not only a sculptor, but also a passionate draughtsman. The current exhibition at the Haus am Waldsee presents a selection of his works on paper. With around 200 drawings, watercolours and lithographs, the artist's passion for drawing can be traced.
We are using the exhibition as an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the world of drawing on three dates with three different artists/drawers. You can expect a playful approach to everything that drawing can be, because drawing is much more than serious drawing with pencil on paper. Like the artist, we work without correction, sometimes at a slow pace, sometimes at a fast pace and with different means. The focus is always on experimenting with drawing.

10 am – 1 pm
For children aged 8 – 12 years
Fee: 30 Euro
Register: vermittlung@hausamwaldsee.de
The exhibition "Into Space" revolves around the human longing for outer space, the dream of weightlessness, the idea of distant galaxies and planets. The universe is full of unfathomable secrets. We can only guess much of what is in it. It remains hidden from our eyes and so most of it is left to our imagination. The exhibited artworks by Naum Gabo, Berta Fischer and Björn Dahlem serve as a starting point for our own artistic ideas and reflections during the three-day holiday academy. Shimmering foils, colourful papers, collected as well as found materials will be used to create hanging sculptures that will come together at the end of the workshop to form a galactic light and sound installation.
7.30 pm
Max. 35 participants
Admission to book presentation is free
The exhibition is open until 7.30 pm, admission fee: 7 / 5 Euro
The author reads from her new book "Die Kunst der Großzügigkeit".
Surprise, happiness, disappointment - why do we react so emotionally to gifts - regardless of their material value? Susanne Kippenberger, herself a passionate giver of gifts, explores giving as a universe of emotions and a complex form of communication. Above all, however, she shows how much pleasure the art of generosity brings.
Susanne Kippenberger (*1957) is an editor at Berlin's Tagesspiegel and author, among other things, of the celebrated portrait "Kippenberger: Der Künstler und seine Familien" (2007), which she wrote about her brother Martin Kippenberger.

Our art educators are concerning themselves with these questions together with the young visitors, directly on-site and in front of the art works which were just currently located at the Haus am Waldsee. Their own creative endeavours can then flourish during an open workshop.

Since 2005, Haus am Waldsee regularly invites for public dinners with the respective artist currently featured. In the beginning, the artists have cooked themselves. Later on, evenings have been combined with reading sessions or other themes and by now, the team from Zagreus Projekt from Berlin have been cooking for us regularly. We are looking forward to spend the dinners in our park during summer time and use our new garden room at winter time to bring artists and public together in a relaxed atmosphere. Take the chance to get to know the person behind the artworks, as well as other friends of the arts by booking your space.

Musically-speaking but also through telling their stories, they let the audience partake in their paths of life. The topic of taking refuge is at the core, as well as the rebuilding of a new home through language, movement and music.

With author Bernhard Jaumann. Hosted by Katja Blomberg.
Event is held in German
It is about a painting from 1913: The "The Tower of Blue Horses" by Franz Marc, beloved in the Weimar period, then ostracized and disappeared over 73 years ago. Supposedly, it was last seen in the Haus am Waldsee in May 1945. In 2017 we put together an exhibition with eleven contemporary artists who reacted to the spectacular "Case" in their own works. Now an exciting thriller based on the story has been published, which the award-winning author Bernhard Jaumann will present at a special event in Haus am Waldsee on 26 July. Brilliantly researched and written, Jaumann's private detective pursues new traces... “The Tower of Blue Horses" seems close enough to touch...

8 pm
Eckart Runge – Cello
Jacques Ammon – Piano
This programme of duo Runge & Ammon combines the seemingly different musical worlds of baroque, jazz and tango through spontaneous emotionality of their improvised elements. Compositions of George Gershwin, Chick Corea, Nikolai Kapustin, Biréli Lagrène and Astor Piazzolla, works by J.S. Bach, G.F. Händel and others are juxtaposed and newly highlighted. Next to the juxtaposition of the different styles, both musicians play with clichéed expectations towards the genre and explore unexpected aspects. At the same time, relations of musical genres and their history are brought in context for the audience and deepened through the entertaining presentation of the cellist.
Whether it is baroque, tango nuevo, latin or gispy-jass, the strong shape and sensuality of free expression unite in an emotional experience.
