There is nothing as soothing as simply looking at water. At the banks of the river Isar in Munich, at the shores of Lake Maggiore or at the Atlantic coast. You can just hang on to your thoughts and listen to the gentle sound of the waves or the calm flow of the river. Inevitably, the big questions of life will eventually surface.

For all those who couldn't attend our Dialogue on 11 July at the Landgoed Anningahof, coordinator Anne Berk will take you on a virtual journey through the beautiful sculpture park and the history of Dutch sculpture since the 1960s.

Wood is a material that can be used in many different ways and from which a wide range of different works can be created. Here we introduce five artists who create great works of art with this often inconspicuous material. This natural, vegetative material often requires less energy than other materials, such as stone or metal, and can be used in a wide variety of ways.

Here you can find a selection of digital offers from all artistic fields. From large museums and galleries opening their collections for online visitors, to artists offering courses online, to platforms for quick financial help for freelancers ...

Developed by the dancer Zrinka Šimičić Mihanović and the artist and sculpture network coordinator Marina Bauer a special happening took place last summer: The Touching Performance, which combined sculpture, dance, movement and touch into a common experience. The idea behind the performative installation is, that the viewer and the observed are both parts of a common experience, both participants and witnesses of the event, and both responsible for what is experienced and seen. We wanted to learn more about this special project and talked to the two initiators:

The instruction "Do not touch!" was once most commonly found in museums and galleries. The fact that it has spread to our entire lives in the wake of the Corona crisis is a huge challenge for all of us. This calls for a reflection on the value of touch— for us as humans and in art.

Europe is currently facing major challenges. The corona crisis affects and concerns us all, and, at the moment, makes us forget about many other issues. However - and equally so - the increasingly nationalistic tendencies in a number of countries, our handling of refugees, the rapidly progressing climate change and, hence, the question of how we want to use our resources in the future require courageous and clear decisions. The idea and effectiveness of a united Europe is constantly being called into question.

The exhibition "Liebes Ding - Object Love" displays the relationship of humans to the things surrounding them. Our author Eva Daxl will take you with her to the currently unfortunately closed exhibition.
