Artists in Motion: Play and Chance – European Contemporary Art at Schafhof
At Schafhof – European Art Forum Upper Bavaria, the exhibition Artists in Motion: Play and Chance opens a versatile space for thinking and experiencing contemporary art. Seven artists from Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, and Scotland explore how chance, movement, improvisation, and awareness of rules shape creative processes.
When Chance Becomes an Artistic Method
This year's theme of Play and Chance leads directly to a central question of modern and contemporary art: What happens when conscious design meets unpredictable impulses? The exhibition understands chance not as a disturbance, but as a productive artistic force. In the consideration of works, planning meets openness, order meets change, material meets movement.
Diversity of Media and Art Directions
The curation combines painting, printmaking, photography, video, sculpture, interactive installation, and conceptual art. Different materials, forms, and visual languages enter into a European dialogue. This creates an exhibition atmosphere in which individual works assert themselves as independent positions while simultaneously responding to the works of other participants.
The participating artists include Alessandra Bisi, Inge Bos, Gerd Lepic, Michel di Maggio, Wim Scheere, Steve Schaub, and Uta Schnuppe Strack. Their contributions reflect the interdisciplinary orientation of the association Artists in Motion, which promotes cooperation among artists from various European countries and artistic fields.
European Culture in an Open Art Space
Artists in Motion views art as a platform for cultural diversity, inclusion, and social exchange. The exhibition connects aesthetic experience with cultural education and invites reflection on the conditions of artistic freedom. Chance appears as a symbol of openness: a possibility to leave entrenched perceptions and gain new perspectives.
Art Experience at Schafhof
The immediate encounter with the works makes spatial effects, materiality, and light particularly tangible. Between graphic traces, moving images, plastic forms, and installation situations, a sensorial path emerges that encourages slow viewing. The exhibition spaces of Schafhof are accessible without steps, providing an appropriate framework for an inclusive art experience.
The exhibition can be seen from September 19 to November 29, 2026. On September 30, opening hours are from 2 PM to 7 PM. Admission to the exhibition and accompanying programs is free.
Conclusion: Chance as an Invitation to Think for Oneself
Artists in Motion: Play and Chance welcomes art enthusiasts with a multifaceted connection of painting, photography, printmaking, video, sculpture, installation, and conceptual art. Those who want to experience contemporary art as a sensual, European, and intellectually stimulating experience should visit the exhibition in person. Only in the immediate encounter with the works do the exhibition atmosphere, spatial effects, and aesthetic quality fully unfold.
