Jo Pistorius, Curatorial Assistance, guides you through the current exhibitions Gianna Surangkanjanajai. Open and Rey Akdogan. Carousels. Participation is included in the exhibition ticket.

The joint guided tour starts at 2 pm at Haus am Waldsee: Beatrice Hilke, curator, will lead a tour of the double exhibition Rey Akdogan. Carousels and Gianna Surangkanjanajai. Open. Rey Akdogan works with analogue Kodak projectors. Her series consists of 80 handmade 35mm slides, in which the combination of coloured film and printed plastics creates rhythmic light structures. The exhibition is extended into the outdoor space by a tinsel curtain at the rear of the building. The sculptural approach of the artist Gianna Surangkanjanajai is strongly process-oriented: In her series Push, Plexiglas cubes filled with paint are physically thrust into the space, with the visible traces of movement becoming an integral part of the work.

At 3.30 pm, the second part follows at Fluentum: the exhibition Demolition/Escape brings together three artists whose video and sound works share a common interest in movement, risk and reversal. Alongside a reconstruction of Tina Keane’s installation Escalator (1988), works produced specifically for the exhibition by Hilary Lloyd and James Richards can be seen and heard. Demolition/Escape was curated by guest curator Dan Kidner and Fluentum director Raoul Klooker, who will jointly lead the tour of the exhibition.

Slide projectors rotate in the dark exhibition space, images glow on the walls. As part of Family Sunday, we explore the exhibition Rey Akdogan. Carousels together and discuss how the artist creates fascinating compositions from foil and plastic scraps. We experiment with light colours, shadows and our own projections. What happens when you mix blue and red light? Which material casts which shadow? In the studio**, you will use colourful packaging and foil to create your own images, which we will then illuminate.

Do you have colourful, transparent plastic waste at home? Perhaps some pretty sweet wrappers, a shopping bag or a broken umbrella? Feel free to bring materials with you to experiment with and use to create your works of art.

Max. 20 people. Ages 4 and up, accompanied by parents.

*Free ticket for children under 18. The ticket includes admission to the exhibition.

The Slow Looking session in the exhibition Rey Akdogan. Carousels offers participants a space to pause and consciously focus on viewing a selected artwork. Guided by art therapists Naira Bloss and Ulla Utasch, participants undertake a short relaxation exercise in the exhibition space, find their calm, and take time to engage with the art. In a group discussion, participants are invited to share their perceptions, associations and inner images. Afterwards, inspired by the exhibition visit, there is an opportunity to create their own artwork in the studio*.

Biliana Voutchkova – Violin, Voice

A collage programme consisting of selected slow movements from the Telemann solo violin Fantasien and original New Ghost Phantasies by Voutchkova. 

The original New Fantasies for two violins were composed by Biliana Voutchkova and Clara Levy, commissioned and premiered at DARA String Festival 2024. They are based on and inspired by Georg Philipp Telemann’s Fantasien for solo violin, containing partly composed, partly improvised music that develops from a selection of slow movements from the original phantasies.

The process of creating this work went through a research phase of mutual and personal observation, understanding, and defining the violinists’ common classical music background. It traced their early classical music training, the changes and developments over the years that have led to their current artistic identities. The New Fantasies emerged through their personal connection to Telemann’s phantasies, which each had been playing for over 20 years.

For this concert, Biliana Voutchkova developed a new version of the work, New Ghost Phantasies for solo violin and fixed media. She revisits and transforms the material of New Fantasies, translating the shared dialogue into a solo constellation with ghostly pre-recorded layers and spectral presences.

Duration: 55 minutes (without intermission)
