TECLA: A concentrated art meditation in the church space

On Monday, October 12, 2026, the series A Quarter Hour of Art invites you to a silent encounter with the contemporary work TECLA – who should I still fear? by Kerstin Himmler. In St. Martin am Grünen Markt, the focused examination of the work is combined with the special atmosphere of a sacred space.

A contemporary artwork in dialogue with St. Martin

The focus is on a 15-minute meditation on the work of Kerstin Himmler, which is presented as a loan from the Diocesan Museum Bamberg. The architecture of St. Martin is not merely a backdrop but an independent resonance space: light, silence, ceiling height, and liturgical imprint direct the perception towards forms, materials, and the inner tension of the artwork.

Examination of the work between art and spirituality

The title TECLA – who should I still fear? opens a conceptual space between existential questions, religious imagery, and personal experience. The art meditation invites participants to view the work attentively and without time pressure. This creates an art experience that connects aesthetic experience, cultural education, and spiritual reflection.

The evening event format A Quarter Hour of Art

The event is part of an autumn series in five Bamberg churches. From September 21 to October 16, 2026, different contemporary artworks are the focus at 5:30 PM each time. In addition to TECLA by Kerstin Himmler, works by Rui Chavez, John Young, Andrea Landwehr-Ratka, and Albert Ultsch will also be examined. The series is supported by the Main Department of Art and Culture of the Archdiocese of Bamberg, the Protestant Deanery Bamberg, and the Catholic Pastoral Care Area Bamberg West.

Art as a conscious interruption of everyday life

The short duration makes the format particularly accessible. A quarter of an hour is enough to gather your thoughts, deepen visual impressions, and perceive the church space anew. The exhibition atmosphere of St. Martin provides a quiet transition from everyday life to an intensive examination of the work.

On October 17, 2026, the 5x15 Art Pilgrimage through Bamberg churches will complement the series. Participants will experience all five art meditations in one afternoon, connecting the individual stations into a special path through the Bamberg art and church landscape.
