A morning between dream and reality in Traunstein
On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, the City Gallery in the Cultural Forum Traunstein invites you to a free guided tour of DREAMLIKE! Surreal Realities in Art. From 11:00 to 12:00, gallery director Judith Bader will provide a focused look at an exhibition where painting, drawing, object art, film, and collage enter into a floating dialogue. The tour is part of the series Art in the Morning and is aimed at visitors who want to experience art as an aesthetic experience and as a thoughtful discovery.

Surreal image spaces that unsettle the gaze
The exhibition in Traunstein unfolds the typical tension of surrealism, where the familiar suddenly tips: Objects lose their clear function, image spaces open up into the uncertain, materials create irritation. This is precisely where the power of the tour lies: it sharpens the viewing of the works, makes composition, symbolism, and spatial effects visible, and shows how surrealism continues to act as an artistic attitude today. According to announcements, the exhibition gathers works from six artists as well as additional loans and sketches.

Curatorial mediation with an eye for connections
The City Gallery Traunstein explicitly sees itself as a place of mediation. Regular tours, artist talks, and educational programs are part of the institution's profile, which develops its program in the long term and based on content criteria. For this event, this means: not just seeing, but learning to read, thus connecting images, forms, and historical references together. The Cultural Forum Klosterkirche provides a fitting setting with its historic atmosphere and modern event spaces.
