Between Mountain Light and Printing Ink: Two Artistic Perspectives on the Chiemgau Alm World
The exhibition Art in Office combines the alpine photographs of Manuela Federl and the print graphic imagery of Clemens Büntig. As a double exhibition, it unfolds an intense art experience: above, the slowed-down life on the Chiemgau Alps, below, the poetic condensation of plant forms into symbols of emotional states. Free admission, clear opening hours, focused contemplation of works in the corridors of the district office.
Aesthetic Experience on Two Floors
On the 2nd floor, Manuela Federl condenses her reportage series into an atmospheric narrative about the work, rhythm, and craftsmanship of alpine agriculture. Handmade frames made from hay bales, wooden stands resembling fences, and selected decorations from the alpine drive intensify materiality, scent associations, and spatial impact. The colors shift between rich meadow green, wood brown, and the silver of old tools.
Print Graphics in Flow
On the 1st floor, Clemens Büntig develops an experimental print graphic visual vocabulary from leaves, stem axes, and root structures. Monotypes, embossings, and painterly modifications transform natural forms into codes of change, tranquility, and inner balance. The curation sets clear sequences in which line flow, negative forms, and color luminosity carry the exhibition atmosphere.
Art Historical Classification and Expertise
Clemens Büntig, born in 1968 in San Francisco, studied print graphics in Cádiz and Basel, worked in New York with master printer Aldo Crommelynck, and founded his own workshop in 2008. His works have been shown at international fairs and are represented in prestigious collections. Manuela Federl, an author and filmmaker from Chiemgau, portrayed alpine farmers in her series, developing a culturally sensitive photographic report that brings together everyday work, traditions, and landscapes.
Education, Context, Mediation
The Art in Office series transforms the wide corridors of the house into a gallery for regionally rooted contemporary art. The exhibition runs from November 7, 2025, to April 24, 2026, during the service hours of the district office; monthly guided tours with the artists deepen work analysis, printing techniques, and cultural historical backgrounds of alpine agriculture.
Conclusion
For those who want to smell colors, hear surfaces, and see the pulse of the landscape, this offers a dual aesthetic experience: photography as the lived memory of the alpine environment and print graphics as a resonance space of nature. A compelling reason to view the works live and sharpen one’s own perspective.
