Poetry of the Everyday at Giechburg: When the Familiar Becomes Art
The annual exhibition of the Form + Farbe e. V. artists in Franconia transforms Giechburg into a place of keen observation and aesthetic experience. From June 21 to July 26, 2026, the focus is on those things, moments, and actions of daily life that usually fade by unnoticed - and precisely for that reason open up new artistic perspectives. Painting, photography, sculpture, and installation show how strongly the ordinary can act as a bearer of memory, society, and personal history.

The Everyday as Image Space
A chair, work boots, tools, or an iron do not appear here as mere accessories, but as starting points for the contemplation of artworks and art historical reflection. The participating artists translate familiar objects into new image spaces, where materiality, form, and symbolic power intertwine. Thus, works are created that oscillate between observation and poetic condensation. ([bamberg.info](https://www.bamberg.info/veranstaltungen/poesie_des_alltaeglichen-817649/))
Painting, Object, and Installation in Harmonious Range
Among the mentioned positions are works by Andeta Labin, Andrea Landwehr-Ratka, and Barbara Winkler, among others. The exhibition is complemented by a community installation in which everyday objects merge into a joint artwork. It is this curated connection of painting, object art, and installation that gives the exhibition its special spatial effect, making an art experience on-site unmistakable.
