There’s more than one way to engage with art. Our Family Saturday invites young and old to make their first steps and discover our exhibition. The art works shall be examined closely through short tours under the guidance of our art educators and inspire to embark on one’s own creative journey during the workshop afterwards. Showing up early guarantees a spot on the guided tour but late-comers are equally welcome and encouraged to join the workshop.

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…

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.
