When a common space of images emerges from I and We

At the City Library of Freising, the exhibition Connecting Values – Art from I to We opens, making artistic participation and democratic values directly tangible. It showcases collages and canvases from workshops with children, students, and adults under the guidance of Marian Kretschmer, complemented by works from his school art practice in Tanzania.

Community as an Artistic Theme

The exhibition does not create a loud staging in the space, but rather a concentrated viewing of works. Each piece retains its own handwriting, yet in the overall view, a multifaceted image of responsibility, dialogue, and cohesion emerges. Especially the collage, as an open, multifaceted medium, is suitable for this inquiry: Meaning grows from individual parts, and a common context emerges from fragments.

Aesthetic Experience Between Color, Form, and Attitude

Visitors to the exhibition experience a calm yet intellectually dense atmosphere. Canvases and collaged image surfaces invite viewers to closely observe materiality, color harmonies, and compositions. The engagement with democratic values is thus conveyed not abstractly, but translated into visible forms. This is precisely the special charm of this exhibition: Art becomes a place of cultural education.

Marian Kretschmer and the Idea of Collaborative Creation

Marian Kretschmer is known as a freelance artist and art therapist with projects that connect art, memory, and social reflection. His work spans painting, illustration, and participatory formats. In the exhibition in Freising, he continues this approach: Art appears not as a finished object but as an open process that brings people together and expands perspectives.

The City Library as a Cultural Space with Light and Proximity

The City Library of Freising presents itself with its light-filled interior as the ideal place for an exhibition that focuses on exchange and contemplation. With around 90,000 media and a vibrant event program, it is a central cultural venue in the city. The presentation in the Old Fire Station convincingly fits this profile and makes the visit worthwhile even beyond the exhibition.

Visit, Opening Hours, and Free Admission

The exhibition is free to attend and can be seen during the opening hours of the City Library. For art enthusiasts, families, school classes, and anyone wishing to connect cultural education with current social relevance, an inspiring visit is offered here.

Conclusion: Connecting Values – Art from I to We connects art, democracy, and community into a finely tuned artistic experience. Those who want to see how workshops, ideas, and attitudes create living images should definitely experience this exhibition at the City Library of Freising on-site.
