Vernissage: 16.05 / 16.00 onwards. SANTA MARIA REDAKTION, Himmelrichstrasse 4 - 6003 LUZERN Curated by: @stephanwittmer_official Eröffnung und Fest: Samstag, 16. Mai von 16 – 22 Uhr ab 16 Uhr: Slow Food von Parvez ab 17 Uhr: malerische Intervention von Dagmar Baumann ab 18.30 Uhr: Literarischer Musikabend von und mit Tim Krohn Santa Maria ist ein Ausstellungsprojekt, das die Themen Heimat, Grenze und Aufbruch miteinander verknüpft. In Sta. Maria im Val Müstair beispielsweise, begegnen sich alpine Stille, klösterliche Tradition und die Erfahrung von Grenze. Gleichzeitig öffnet der Name „Santa Maria” den Blick auf den Horizont und die Idee der Expedition: Die Fregatte, die einst in unbekannte Welten aufbrach, trug einen vertrauten Namen und verband Hoffnung, Neugier und Gewalt. Welche Bilder des Aufbruchs prägen uns bis heute und wie klingt ein Horizont, der immer auch eine Projektion ist? Maria selbst steht als Ikone für Reinheit, Trost und Fürsprache, aber sie ist auch eine Projektionsfläche patriarchaler Ideale. In Bildern, Körpern und Ritualen zeigt sich ein Spannungsfeld zwischen Verehrung und Instrumentalisierung. Diese Ambivalenz setzt sich bis in die Gegenwart fort: „Santa Maria” begegnet uns auf Verpackungen, Hotelschildern oder in Popsongs. Der Name wird zum Versprechen von Paradies, Reinheit und Abenteuer und macht zugleich die Mechanismen von Konsum und Vereinnahmung sichtbar.

Glimpses from 'THE DIALOGUE No.36' that took place last Sun (26th April). A brilliant presentation by Koshika Yadava @skala.art.ky , who charted her journey from hardcore science to the art world; and to the space in between that her brushes bring to life. Gabriele Horndasch @gabrielehorndasch followed it up with her focus on Anagrams, turning words into a poetic performance. Thanks to all the guests who participated in the lively discussions. #TheDialogue is an artist run intiative that began in 2015 and continues to flow. #artisttalk #Art #life @sofiarossibunge @camenischvetsch @patricksteffen.ch @rau_sand @stiftungbartelsfondation

How does one read this crazy world when children in one of the safest countries #switzerland , begin to talk about wars, bombs and burning houses out of the blue? During the workshop 'Ich, ein teil von Wir' (I, a part of We) at the Pedagogische Hochschule, Luzern, i was taken by surprise when a child mentioned 'war' (Krieg) as the topic for a group exercise that i was trying to get them together for. I was even more surprised that this was the only topic, in a long list they had pooled, on which everyone agreed. They finally evolved it into a work about a world with / without wars (1.5 x 3 meters). The vividness of the depiction of the war suggests that even children here are not spared of tragic and horrible events being brought about in the world by a few power hungry men. Children also give us hope. The same work depicts a simple and happy land on the other half. 🥰 @gabyfierz @mathiaswalther.ch @phluzern #war #krieg #world #children

Can there be a better award or medal than a bag of goodies and a thank you card from children? 🥰 That was the end of my intense 5 days workshop with children for a very relevant, beautiful and sensitive project 'Ich, ein teil von wir' (I, a part of We), at the Pedadgogische Hochschule, Luzern @phluzern Beside being rewarded with the energy the children bring, the fun we had together, the games we played, these amazing children, bubbling with ideas ended up creating a huge body of work, which will be displayed from 20th of March at PH Luzern. My heartfelt thanks to the children and their teachers Janine, Lea and Corine, for this beautiful gift. Thanks also to the PH Luzern students, Delia and Rieke who documented the process and assisted me whenever required. and ofcourse to Gaby @gabyfierz , Mathias @mathiaswalther.ch and Elke Kapus for engaging me in the project. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🥳 #artworkshop for #children #individuality vs #community #pedagogy

Last four days just flew by. Such a pleasure working with an amazingly talented and motivated group of children from classes 3rd and 4th. My workshop at Pedagodic Hochschule, Luzern ends tomorrow. The incredible works made the children will be shown at the Pedagogy Hochschule, Luzern @phluzern later in March. My workshop is a part of a beautiful and very sensitive project titled 'Ich, ein teil von wir' ('I, a part of we'), where we explore this concept and what does it mean to be a part of a larger humanity. @gabyfierz @mathiaswalther.ch #art #exploration #workshop #children #community
