Thank you!

We would like to thank our almost 2,000 visitors for coming to the visible market 2024. It was a great, albeit very hot weekend, with over 50 artists presenting a high-quality and diverse range of products. Thanks to all exhibitors, our cooperation partners Kulturstiftung Sachsen-Anhalt / Kunstmuseum Moritzburg and Turm e.V., our sponsors – the friends and supporters of the Kunstmuseum Moritzburg and Hallesche Wohnungsgesellschaft mbH -, the group Mientras Tanto for their great musical highlight, our culinary partners – Biolecker, Gaumenschmeicheley, Kaffee & Kohle – and our organizing team Matthias Behne and Kerstin Krieg!

Special object

The new visible prize “The Special Object”, which the BBK Saxony-Anhalt awarded together with the HWG for the first time this year, was presented to Friederike Nottrott on Saturday. The jury – Thomas Bille (cultural journalist), Anne Deuter (book artist and BBK member) and Dr. Angela Dolgner (art historian and chairwoman of the Freunde und Förderer des Kunstmuseums Moritzburg e.V., one of our cooperation partners) – awarded the prize of 300 euros for her work “Friede dem Krieg”, which consists of three parts. She has transformed utensils from the First World War into peaceful objects. Carolin Schulze received an “honorable mention” for jewelry made from many small transparent glass beads that are crocheted onto a cotton thread.

Audience Award

Our new competition “The Special Object” also included an audience award. This was endowed with BBK prize money of 150 euros and a free annual membership of the “Freunde und Förderer des Kunstmuseums Moritzburg” association. The winner was Nicole Müller, who runs her photography label “Frau Müller” in Halle (Saale). She won over the public with a print that was produced using a special photobiological process. Nicole Müller applies a self-produced plant brew to paper and exposes it to light over a longer period of time. Similar to a cyanotype – only without environmentally harmful salts – she then applies her image motifs – in this case leaves and flowers – and places the paper in the sun to expose it.

“The visible art and design market is one of my absolute favorite markets and I’m really happy to have had the good fortune and honor of being able to participate for years.”

Franziska Kunath // Design

“You always enjoy spending time in the ambience of Moritzburg Castle and the castle moat because of the beautiful flair. The selected range of different types of art and design is very well coordinated, high quality and special, and the organizers also manage to round off the market with culinary and musical delights so that everyone feels at home.”

Constanze Hosp // Jewelry artist

“The biggest positive surprise a few years ago was that the market was so incredibly well received, which was also reflected in my sales. The promise was kept.”

Franz Gabriel Walther // Painter / graphic artist / illustrator

“The art scene in Halle really has something to offer!”

“And you did all that yourself, did you?”

“Great here, we wouldn’t have thought so. Gosh, Halle is so much nicer than its reputation!”
