Art in the Morning with Peter Riek: An Exhibition between Line, Journey, and Memory
In the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche Traunstein, a special view of drawing as an artistic medium opens on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. During Art in the Morning, Judith Bader, head of the City Gallery, explains the exhibition concept of Peter Riek's project OLD MAN ODYSSEY and introduces the poetic tension between cycling adventure, street drawing, and postcard singing.
Drawing as a Thinking Space
Peter Riek does not understand drawing as mere notation, but as a universal medium for perception, time, and transience. His works revolve around line, space, and movement. Especially in an exhibition like OLD MAN ODYSSEY, this attitude unfolds a special intensity: the visual language remains open, fragile, and simultaneously precise, as if each stroke sets a milestone in thinking.
Journey, Rhythm, and Poetic Conciseness
The title refers to a cycling adventure in 24 days, thus linking an art project that connects mobility, experience, and subjective cartography. Street drawings and postcard chants condense the experience of being on the move into an aesthetic experience, where landscape, memory, and text merge. For art enthusiasts, this creates a contemplation of the work that oscillates between documentary traces and lyrical abstraction.
The Exhibition Atmosphere in the Cultural Forum
The Cultural Forum Klosterkirche Traunstein provides a suitable setting for contemporary drawing and conceptual art with its historical ambiance and the City Gallery. The place combines heritage preservation, cultural education, and current curation into a concentrated art experience. The exhibition is part of the program of the City Gallery and is presented on the 2nd floor.
An Offer for the Curious and Connoisseurs
The guided tour is aimed at everyone who wants to understand art not just visually but contextually. Judith Bader’s introduction opens access to the artistic intention, to drawing as an ephemeral medium, and to placing Peter Riek's work within contemporary drawing practice. Free admission makes the visit additionally attractive.
Those who experience art as a spiritual journey will find here an inspiring morning full of concentrated visual language, fine observation, and poetic openness. A visit is worthwhile to experience Peter Riek’s exhibition live and to let the special atmosphere of the Cultural Forum work on you directly.
