Ulrike Donié - "SYNERGIES"
Those who linger in the silence at the KulturOrt Wintringer Kapelle can - inspired by the works of Ulrike Donié - let their gaze wander between the medieval space and nature.
The change of perspective invites us to trace the creative moments of a synergetic encounter between humans and nature in the present: Where do fruitful connections arise that make a new togetherness recognizable in a future that is not yet visible but can be felt? Synergetic encounters are a central aspect of creative renewal - art connects!

Advance notice: Art project "SYNERGIES" by Ulrike Donié
Ulrike Donié - panel (detail)
Under the title "SYNERGIES", starting in May, the artist Ulrike Donié will thematize the long and arduous journey of man through a nature that threatens him to a threat of nature by man at the cultural site Wintringer chapel through the visual language of two opposite paintings on the west wall (panel painting) and on the east wall (Tondo).
The human being has developed about 6 million years ago from a being completely integrated in the nature until today to a being completely dominating the nature. The abilities to subdue the hostile world for physical survival have led to technical and later scientific achievements which are both a curse and a blessing. The legitimate interest in using nature to secure life has turned into an environmental and climatic destruction that is existentially threatening to nature and thus to man himself, and which can hardly be stopped.... Now in the course of human development different answers have been given to the same questions. Religions, politics, secular ethics, art and science often offer different solutions to the same problems, which makes orientation difficult... (My) art is supposed to support the process of becoming aware of the present environmental situation through its own symbolic language and mode of expression, which appeals to the subconscious of the viewer and is emotionally effective. Conflicting feelings are generated.

Transformation - World Circle Earth
As part of the annual art projects per annum realized the sculptor Martin Steinert at the cultural site Wintringer Chapel in April 2021, in the same technique as in Auersmacher, a wooden sculpture in the form of a sphere. It bears the title "Transformation - World Circle Earth" and responds in the artistic process to the installation Man - Salvation or thorn of creation, which the artist created in 2020 in the Catholic Church of Maria Heimsuchung in Auersmacher.
The sculpture "World Circle Earth" articulates through the language of art the healing process of social and ecological change of humanity in favor of a better world. In the global network of currently 714 UNESCO biosphere reserves, this "transformation" can experience a special dynamic.

Windows meanwhile the worlds
Genc Mulliqi
An artistic reflection in the mirror of the symbolic meaning of the windows of the late gothic "Wintringer Chapel".
The Albanian sculptor Genc Mulliqi was a guest artist at the Kulturzentrum am EuroBahnhof e.V. Saarbrücken until May 2020. He lives and works in Tirana/Albania as professor of the sculpture class at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Arts in Tirana. After a visit to the cultural site Wintringer Chapel, he created a "head sculpture" of fired clay in his guest studio at KuBa under the title "WINDOWS meanwhile worlds". The work will be shown on site in the course of 2020 and become the starting point for local conversations.
Genc Mulliqi conceives his work as a metaphorical "light bridge" between the interior of the sacred space and the outside world. On another level, he wants his work to visually negotiate the relationship between man and nature.

Sound installation STEPS SILENCE

Introduction, Peter Michael Lupp
Sound sample, Katharina Bihler and Stefan Scheib
Since the Middle Ages, the cultural site Wintringer Chapel on the Wintringer farm has also been a signpost, a place marker, a stopping and orientation point for people in search of a way. A sound installation by the Liquid Penguin Ensemble, developed especially for the location, refers to this. In their multi-channel installation, Katharina Bihler and Stefan Scheib work with the audible aspect of wandering, pilgrimage, walking, as well as with texts that deal with the field of tension between fleetingness and permanence.

At the conclusion of a five-year process work with the theme "The Limits to Growth", the "Orientation Symbol" of the sculptor Hermann Bigelmayr provides an artistic impulse to sound out the ethical foundation that can ensure a peaceful coexistence and the integrity of creation.

Advent ritual "A light for the world"
The path to an ecologically sustainable future can only succeed if people become more aware of the fullness of creation and develop a physical, mental and spiritual connection with the earth. All guests are invited to light a candle in this spirit.

Il fait froid [moving identity 3]
Leslie Huppert
The cultural site Wintringer Chapel is since 2011 under the sign of the guiding theme "The Limits to Growth" (see per annum MMXI ff.). The artist Leslie Huppert (winner of the Cultural Prize for Art of the Regional Association Saarbrücken 2014) has referred to this for a current occasion. In 2015, the artist has dealt artistically with people who are on the run.
Introduction: Peter Michael Lupp
Artist talk with Leslie Huppert and discussion
Musical reflections: Hartmut Osswald
This new artistic impulse at the cultural site Wintringer Chapel is the starting point for a cooperation with the KuBa cultural center at the Eurobahnhof in Saarbrücken. In 2016, a continuing exhibition and a topic-related public discourse will take place there.

Presentation of the new addition to its process work "In the Balance"
Information booth
Under the title "In the Balance", Hermann Bigelmayr once again uses nature as a source of inspiration to conclude his work. The scene is a late summer wheat field in the early morning. On the silken thread of a spider, a broken leaf of a wheat stalk that has grown too high floats and moves seemingly weightless in the wind...
Since fall 2013, a quotation of that extremely filigree wheat leaf can be observed at the cultural site Wintringer Chapel. The leaf floats "on a silken thread" under the stalk of wheat already created by Hermann Bigelmayer in 2011. The artist had already been working on this with care in his Munich studio since 2012. Bigelmayr peeled thereby proverbially an increasing feeling of distress from a mighty maple trunk: Despite a meanwhile widespread knowledge about possible solutions, the threats to our planet caused by us humans ourselves, one does oneself with acting heavily. It remains predominantly with symptom treatments and political lip service.

The Limits to Growth - seeds
Since 2011, the renowned Munich sculptor Hermann Bigelmayr presents himself on site with his work "The Limits to Growth". The artist's work is completed and deepened in several annual cycles, in the mirror of a topic-specific public discourse. In 2012, he expands his installation under the title SEEDS. In terms of content, he enters into dialogue with a significant short formula of sustainability thought by J. W. von Goethe (1795): "...baked bread is tasty and satisfying - for one day; but flour can not be sown, and the seeds should not be ground."

The Limits to Growth
The cultural site Wintringer Chapel shows in the annual cycles MMXI-MMXII a work of the sculptor Hermann Bigelmayr. Under the title "The Limits to Growth," the group of works shows, among other things, an oversized stalk of wheat that appears to have grown through the floor of the chapel, grown unchecked into the vault of the late Gothic chapel, and broken off there. The installation postulates the fatal consequences of a socio-political basic attitude that is oriented towards constant growth and promotes a completely different evaluation of nature and its essential potentials.
