In the Flash Light Tour at the Haus am Waldsee, we explore Peter Wächtler’s artworks in an unusual light. Who appears in the darkness? Together, we move the spotlights around and discover animals, mysterious creatures and fairy-tale characters. What stories do they tell? We experiment with shadows, the colours of light, and become explorers in the dark.

Torches will be provided.

* Participation for children aged 5 and over, accompanied by an adult. Free ticket for children up to 18 years. Admission for adults 9€

Talking bears, smart foxes, and rowing moles – in Peter Wächtler’s works, we encounter animals, mythical creatures, and characters from fairy tales. They often behave like humans: they think about things, have hopes, are sad, funny, or strange. Take a close look and then create your own imaginative figures out of clay. What stories do they tell?

On the occasion of the third and final chapter of Since…, Nina Akhvlediani will give a lecture on the development of the display architecture conceived for the exhibition series at Haus am Waldsee and its place within her wider practice, followed by a conversation with curator Pia-Marie Remmers.

Presented in the former garage, now the café, Since… unfolded across three chapters over the course of Haus am Waldsee’s 80th anniversary year. In each chapter, the artists Luciano Pecoits, Veit Laurent Kurz, and Sophie Kovel approached the institution’s history from different perspectives. The display architecture, which served as the foundation for each of the three exhibitions, is based on an open, scalable modular system structured through a shared geometrical grid. Its elements function as an adaptable framework rather than a fixed scenography, enabling assembly, disassembly, and reconfiguration in situ. The architecture resists a single chronological order and instead foregrounds fragmentation and re-enactment, sustaining gestures in a state of becoming and allowing materials to unfold as layered iterations.

Drawing on Akhvlediani’s wider practice, the conversation will consider durational exhibition models, working with archival materials and the relationship between display, documentation, and printed matter. Moving-image footage documenting the production process of the display architecture for Since… will accompany the conversation.

Children, families and anyone interested are invited to attend the Drop-In Workshop and create their own pictures of Haus am Waldsee. Using illustrations of the building as inspiration, you can paint and make collages based on your own ideas. What art should be shown in the garden and inside the rooms? Who visits the house, and who might live here?

To celebrate the 80th anniversary of Haus am Waldsee, you can learn about the house’s history, its previous residents and past exhibitions, and create images of  your own vision of the place. Drop in at any time during the session and get creative!

No booking necessary.
