When art becomes an attitude: AHH!! 2026 at the Old Prison Freising

The annual exhibition 2026 of the Anton Henneka House Arts Workshop and friend workshops brings works made of glass, textile, ceramics, and paper into the historical setting of the Old Prison Freising. Under the pointed title AHH!! 2026 Don't kid yourself - you don't make art. Art makes you! an art experience emerges that not only makes materials and techniques visible but also the power of creative expression.

Between workshop and exhibition space

The show connects artistic practice with a strong social and educational dimension. The Anton Henneka House of kmfv stands for work in workshops, for creative work, and for the development of individual skills. This is precisely where the aesthetic experience of this exhibition originates: One encounters objects and works that arise from concentrated manual work, experimental openness, and immediate material experience.

Materials with character and spatial effect

Glass, textile, ceramics, and paper unfold a special presence in the context of the Old Prison. The historical architecture with its massive walls, the atmospheric depth of the place, and the exhibition use as a cultural space adds additional tension to the works. Thus, a dialogue arises between form, surface, light, and space, which goes far beyond a classical examination of works.

A place with history, today a cultural space

The Old Prison Freising is a building from the 17th century that once served as a court prison and now houses exhibition spaces, a small museum, and a wine tavern. The rooms on the first floor are used year-round by artists and cultural associations. For visitors, this means: The exhibition is not just content, but also an experience of the place.

Cultural education and open access

The exhibition invites a low-threshold engagement with contemporary art. Those interested in art education, workshop culture, and inclusive cultural work will find a credible and inspiring approach here. Admission is free, making the visit additionally attractive and consciously lowering the threshold to art appreciation.

AHH!! 2026 promises an intense, approachable, and simultaneously reflective art experience. Anyone who wants to experience art as a process, expression, and encounter should definitely visit this exhibition in Freising live.
