Poetry of the Everyday at Giechburg: When the Ordinary Becomes Art

The annual exhibition of the association Form + Farbe e.V. artists in Franconia opens a space at Giechburg for concentrated work observation, fine material poetry, and an exhibition atmosphere between historical castle ambiance and contemporary art. From June 21 to July 26, 2026, the focus is on those things, moments, and actions of everyday life that otherwise disappear in passing.

Everyday Life as Artistic Starting Point

Chair, work shoes, tools, or an iron: What seems self-evident in life gains image power here. Painting, photography, sculpture, and installation transform the familiar into an aesthetic event that reveals memories, societal questions, and intimate experiences. The artists do not work with loud gestures but with density, displacement, and quiet precision.

Works that Sharpen the View

Among others, Andeta Labin is mentioned with a reinterpretation of the iron, Andrea Landwehr-Ratka with the readymade Chair with Fox Tail, and Barbara Winkler with an acrylic painting of worn shoes. Additionally, there is a community installation, where everyday materials and objects come together to form a Gesamtkunstwerk. Thus, an exhibition emerges that art historically connects to the readymade, object art, and the question of the poetic potential of the banal.

Literature and Jazz as a Lively Addition

A special highlight is the reading by Sepp Kuffer, musically accompanied by the trio ASK ME FOR JAZZ on July 19, 2026, at 3 PM. This expands the exhibition into an interdisciplinary art experience in which literature, sound, and visual art interact with each other.
