How do art and its sensory experience become a source of insight and knowledge? Through art, we not only acquire factual knowledge, but also learn to question, reflect and experiment. Based on the exhibition Speak, Old Bonnet, Where Is It Missing?, Stefanie Böttcher, Marlène Harles and Lisa Weber look at artistic strategies for imparting knowledge with all the senses.
The event will take place in the Capponiere of the Turmschänke, Taunusstr. 44, 55118 Mainz.
Costs: free of charge
An afternoon of sound art with pieces by Nathalia Grotenhuis, La Pesch and Anna Schimkat (curated by Anna Schimkat)
Three concerts, a sound walk, a sonic meditation
With a sound walk and listening exercises, we open our ears to the elements that shape the landscape. Nathalia Grotenhuis, Carina Pesch and Anna Schimkat invite you to take part in three different sound experiences that explore the sounds created by the transformation of the landscape – through volcanic activity, meandering rivers or the extraction of mineral resources.

Drawing and mindfulness combine in this special meditation to create a new form of experience. Breath and hand movement create lines and traces that make the moment visible. The drawing meditation invites you to pause, sharpen your perception, and experience art directly – calmly, concentratedly, and openly.
Each participant sits on a large sheet of paper, which fills with traces during the meditation. Afterwards, interesting excerpts are sought out to take home as a personal memento.
The drawing meditation is aimed at anyone who would like to experience art differently – as a meditative, physical, and simultaneously creative practice. No previous artistic experience is necessary.
The event is led by Anne Nilges, an artist and art coach from Mainz-Gonsenheim. In her work, she combines abstract painting with meditative approaches and opens up paths to a free, intuitive approach to drawing and painting.
