Poetry in Dialogue with Images: A Sensory Art Experience in Traunstein

The exhibition The Paths, in the Enclosure. Poetry Meets Visual Art combines the poetry of Margret Kreidl with works in the context of Agnes Martin into a concentrated art experience. In the resonance space of the Municipal Gallery, language, lines, and light unfold an exhibition atmosphere that sharpens the contemplation of the works and invites aesthetic experience.

Between Line and Stroke: How Poetry Shapes Space

Finely placed words meet clear, quiet image structures. In this curatorial setting, a dialogue arises: Kreidl's precise linguistic figures open spaces for association, while the artistic arrangements make calmness, rhythm, and repetition tangible. Colors remain subdued, the form aims for reduction – an invitation to explore the nuances of material, light, and distance with a keen eye.

Curating with Focus: Mediation, Rhythm, Perception

The Municipal Gallery Traunstein has been highlighting contemporary art for years with clear, didactically sensitive presentations. Here, too, the curation guides visitors through axes, viewpoints, and hanging rhythms: white space as a space for thought, text passages as stepping stones, image sequences as calm beats. The result: A contemplative engagement with the works that intertwines seeing and reading movements.

Context: Literature Festival Reading Joy – Boundless Literature 2026

The exhibition is part of the regional literature festival Reading Joy – Boundless Literature 2026. With readings, exhibitions, and workshops, the festival creates a stage for interdisciplinary encounters – from word art to visual language – and invites exchange on forms of perception.

Cultural Education: Offers from the Gallery

The Municipal Gallery regularly offers tours and artist talks. As a mediator between art and the audience, it promotes engagement with artistic positions, supports school projects, and opens avenues for active participation. Groups can request special tours.

Conclusion

Those who appreciate the quiet intensity of reduced visual language and love literary precision will find a concentrated experience here: An exhibition that connects seeing and reading, slows down perception, and sharpens the senses. Visit The Paths, in the Enclosure in Traunstein – for a quiet but lasting aesthetic experience.
