A multifaceted art experience at the Old Prison Freising
With sometimes 7, the Old Prison Freising opens a space for contemporary art, where painting, drawing, printmaking, and performance intersect. The exhibition brings together Urs Bachsteffel, Angelika Erhard, Stefan Lautner, Katja Proschek, and Ruth Weizel for a collective appearance that combines the energy of a group presentation with the individuality of distinct styles. Admission is free; the exhibition takes place at the historic venue at Brennergasse 1 in Freising.

Between gesture, material, and concentration
The appeal of this pre-reporting lies in the openness of the format: five artists, multiple media, and a location with strong historical aura. Exhibitions in the Old Prison never take place in a vacuum but in an architecture that intertwines contemporary art and memory in a special way. The rooms on the first floor serve year-round as exhibition spaces for artists and cultural associations; the building itself tells of its past as a court prison and today as a culturally revitalized site.

A place with history and exhibition atmosphere
The spatial effect of the Old Prison significantly shapes the art experience. The historical substance of the building, the location between Marienplatz and Domberg, as well as the exhibition tradition of the house create an atmosphere where the contemplation of works becomes immediate. Especially painting and drawing gain presence here through proximity, light, and the quiet concentration of the place. The house is considered a structure from the 17th century and is today a fixed cultural site in the old town of Freising.

Guided tours, access, and educational framework
For visitors, practical information is part of cultural education: From May to October, guided tours are offered at the Old Prison on Saturdays at 2 PM and 3 PM; larger groups are advised to register in advance. Otherwise, visits are possible by prior telephone arrangement. It is also important to note that access to the first floor is unfortunately not barrier-free according to official information.

What this exhibition promises
sometimes 7 does not promise a spectacular event in a superficial sense, but a serious, sensory art experience. Those who want to experience contemporary art in its tension between form, color, gesture, and space will find a place for concentrated contemplation of works and aesthetic experience. The exhibition invites visitors to see the differing positions of the involved artists in interplay and to consciously perceive the special atmosphere of the Old Prison. A visit is worth it precisely because here art is not merely decorative but questioned, condensed, and brought to life in the historical space.
