About the Exhibition
ATTENTION ON ARRIVAL
The title Attention on arrival refers to the moment when expectations meet reality, to the changes that come with travelling, which make life at home appear with new eyes when you return, opening up surprising perspectives on familiar things that are not always easy to process. In connection with the annual theme of Stories, the focus is on the stories and experiences that shape us.
Contemporary art offers many exciting examples of visualizing these experiences and making them accessible to others. Technological media such as photography and video - especially in today's digital, easy-to-use form - correspond to the recording of movement and the documentation of a wide variety of places and experiences. The exhibition presents works by three international contemporary artists in different media.
Cooperation for the city anniversary in Freising
The anniversary "1300 years of Korbinian in Freising", which will take place in 2024, is an excellent starting point for integrating the art forum into the local and regional cultural program. The focus will be on travelling as an inspiration and experience of something new, as a reflection of one's own life and thinking, which also plays an important role in European art exchange.
"When someone goes travelling, they have a story to tell. So I would take my stick and hat and choose travelling." (Matthias Claudius, 1740-1815) From the voyages of Odysseus to Goethe's Italian Journey to the blogs and Instagram stories of the digital age, travelling, the movement to and from distant places, fascinates mankind.
Sometimes it is the arrival that changes everything. This was the case with the arrival of St Corbinian in Freising, who shaped the history of the town as its founding father and first bishop. The legend of the bear as a pack animal symbolizes his power of persuasion and his will to shape things.
