Playful at Schafhof: An art experience between play, chance, and loss

The exhibition Playful at Schafhof – European Art Forum Oberbayern opens up the view for art as an experiment, perception, and intellectual play. Under the annual theme Play and Chance, the exhibition invites visitors to discover unexpected perspectives on everyday life, the environment, and society.

A parcours through space, sound, and image

The tour leads through the gallery and barrel vault, unfolding an exhibition atmosphere where 3D simulations, a card game, shadow profiles, and phones with natural sounds encounter each other. This diversity of works and media creates an aesthetic experience that is not only observed but physically traversed.

Experimental positions from Europe and Upper Bavaria

As is customary in the series Focus > Europe, the Schafhof presents works by artists from abroad and from Upper Bavaria, created within the framework of the European Art Scholarship of the District of Upper Bavaria. With free, open, and experimental approaches, the contemporary positions sensitize visitors to the constant changes in art, everyday life, and society.

The Schafhof as a place of contemporary art

The historic building on the hill at the northern edge of Freising uniquely combines architecture, natural views, and cultural history. The former sheep barn from 1819 is now a center for contemporary art with exhibition spaces, artist exchanges, and a program that makes cultural education visible.

Conclusion: See, hear, and think further about art

Playful promises an inspiring exhibition visit for everyone who wants to experience art as an open form of thinking. Those who embark on this parcours will discover surprising images, sound moments, and new interpretations. A visit to Schafhof is definitely worth it live.
