DEAR VISITORS,
Once again, artists from Saxony-Anhalt are opening their studio doors to offer you an insight into their various working methods.
Such an experience of art has a very special charm. Going to places where art is created creates its own atmosphere. There is something voyeuristic about it, but at the same time it is very close to what is happening. Whether an artist is sitting cross-legged in front of a canvas, working on a print in front of a table, modeling a sculpture with her hands or bending over the potter’s wheel, it is a very impressive experience. It is a completely different experience to viewing a work in a gallery, where the neutrality created creates a certain distance. Meeting the artists in the places where they work, talking to them about their creations, discussing the technique and thought processes behind a work, or exchanging banal everyday matters, creates the added value of the open studios.
Engaging in conversation about the works not only reduces the distance that quickly nestles between the viewer and the work in neutral locations. The opportunity to ask questions can once again highlight the relevance of the artistic debate. The open studios have therefore been an integral part of Saxony-Anhalt’s cultural scene for many years.
We therefore wish you a sensory experience as you wander through this rich landscape once again this year.
The organizing team of the Berufsverband Bildender Künstler Sachsen-Anhalt
