VerSpielT in Freising: Art, Play and Surprising Perspectives at Schafhof

The exhibition VerSpielT | Focus > Europe VII at Schafhof - European Art Forum Upper Bavaria invites you to an art experience that excitingly combines perception, chance, and experimentation. Under the annual theme Play and Chance, a presentation of contemporary art unfolds, working with 3D simulations, card games, shadow outlines, sounds of nature, and walkable spaces.

Playful Strategies, Serious Questions

The exhibition shows how art gains new perspectives on everyday life, the environment, and society from playful impulses. The theme resonates doubly: Play as creative freedom and as the risk of losing it. Precisely from this arises the productive tension of this presentation.

Tour through Gallery and Barrel Vault

The path through the rooms of Schafhof leads through different media setups and creates a dense exhibition atmosphere. The unique architecture of the house, the barrel vault, and the connection of nature and culture enhance the spatial effect of the works. It becomes visible how installation, sound art, and experimental imagery together shape a precise aesthetic experience.

Artistic Positions from the European Art Scholarship

Works by artists from the European Art Scholarship of the District Upper Bavaria will be shown. Included are Mihael Frančić, Nyx Günther, Ute Heim, Jan Krtička, Stephanie Maier, Marios Pavlou, and Matteo Pizzolante. Their free and experimental works sensitize the gaze for changes in contemporary art, society, and living environment.

Supporting Program and Educational Value

The exhibition includes a supporting program with curator-led tours and individual exhibition support. Thus, VerSpielT becomes not just a display but also a place for cultural education that deepens access to contemporary art and addresses various target groups.

Conclusion

VerSpielT | Focus > Europe VII connects contemporary art, experimental formats, and reflected curation into a visit that piques curiosity and lingers long after. Those who want to experience art as an open space for thought should definitely discover this exhibition live at Schafhof in Freising.
