When Poetry Opens Spaces: Vernissage at the Municipal Gallery Traunstein

On Friday, February 6, 2026 at 7:00 PM, a special art experience unfolds in the Municipal Gallery at the Cultural Forum Traunstein: The exhibition opening The Paths, in the Enclosure – Poetry Meets Visual Art combines a reading by the widely awarded author Margret Kreidl with an aesthetic experience in the dialogue of language, space, and image.

Sound of Words, Rhythm of Forms

In the examination of the work, it becomes clear how poetic structure, breath, pause, and repetition correspond with the visual arts. Between painting, drawing, or installation and the spoken word, resonance spaces emerge: lines condense into semantics, color fields breathe with the meter, and the spatial effect focuses attention. Thus, an exhibition atmosphere is created that guides the visitor step by step through different levels of perception.

Curated Encounter of Literature and Image

The Municipal Gallery positions itself as a mediator between contemporary art and the audience. The curatorial concept intertwines the reading with the exhibition situation: lighting design, hanging, visual axes, and acoustic clarity create a stage where poetry and visual art act on equal footing. Visitors experience how genre boundaries become productive and poetry finds its way into the materiality of the space.

Art Historical Perspective and Cultural Education

With this opening, the gallery connects to its program of cultural education: guided tours, discussions, and the opening of the venue for school classes strengthen engagement with art movements and epochs. The focus is on precise observation: color temperatures, line structures, texture, and materiality stand alongside meter, sound, and allusion – an invitation to careful work analysis.

Conclusion

Those who want to experience the dialogue between language and visual art in a tangible way will find here a concentrated, sensory encounter with poetry and visual art. Admission is free – ideal for discovering the exhibition from the vernissage and sharpening one's perception. Visit the opening, let the texts resonate, and let the images speak.
