Poetry in the View of the Ordinary: The Annual Exhibition at Giechburg
The annual exhibition Poetry of the Everyday by the association Form + Farbe e. V. Artists in Franconia invites you to an aesthetic experience from June 21 to July 26, 2026, that makes everyday life readable anew. At Giechburg, visitors encounter painting, photography, sculpture, and installation in a historic spatial effect that transforms the ordinary into a quiet art experience.

When the Everyday Becomes an Art Form
The focus is on the question of what becomes visible when one pays attention to the seemingly familiar. Chairs at the breakfast table, work shoes, saws, irons, or worn shoes: Such motifs gain new dignity in the exhibition and become carriers of memory, social observation, and personal experience. The curatorial approach emphasizes the transformation of banal objects into multifaceted narratives.

Material, Form, and Poetic Density
The range of artistic means is particularly enticing. According to the preview, individual works enter into a dialogue with readymade, acrylic painting, object art, and communal installation. An exhibition unfolds in which form, color, and materiality are not only observed but experienced in space. The historical atmosphere of the Giechburg tower enhances this impression and creates a striking contrast between medieval architecture and contemporary art.

Literature, Jazz, and Encounter
A special highlight is the author reading with Sepp Kuffer on July 19, 2026, at 3 PM, musically accompanied by the trio ASK ME FOR JAZZ. The opening on June 28, 2026, at 3 PM already sets a vibrant accent in the exhibition program. Thus, the annual exhibition connects visual arts, literature, and music into a culturally open format that brings together art education and sensory perception.
