Serena Ferrario - Collage - Image and space

€300.00

3 free spaces

Mon 8/11/25 - 8/16/25

Obere Altstadt Neuburg

Fine Arts

My approach consists of drawings, pictures, photos, video recordings and own texts which are either unfinished or do not have an effect on the proper place. We breathe new life into them developing them further. Fears of contacts and blockades disappear by extending the medium. Perhaps a new process or form is needed in order to keep on working on the original ones. The new medium probably helps to realize that you were too restricted and that there are other forms which are more fun or which suit you better. What could you do with your own drawings or the many photos lying in a box or waiting on your hard disk? Perhaps there will be a new composition and connection with other materials, memories and images. I will offer a beamer and a camera so that we are able to experiment with projections, sound and light. Furthermore, I will provide a scanner and a printer (black and white).

Emma Kirkby - Voice

€460.00

12 free spaces

Mon 8/11/25 - 8/16/25

Volkshochschule Neuburg

Early Music

After our wonderful "Bach Week" in 2024, we are already looking forward to the Summer Academy in 2025. This time, the focus will be on Renaissance music. There will again be lutes/theorbos, keyboard instruments, wind instruments and strings, for the wealth of arias, duets and ensembles, secular and sacred, that so many composers of this era have left us. We especially welcome singers who are willing to get involved with new pieces and have the courage to try new ways of performing. Of course, works from the Baroque period can also be worked on.

Uli Zwerenz - Painting — from a splash of paint to a picture

Uli Zwerenz - Painting — from a splash of paint to a picture (Week 2)

€300.00

1 free place

Mon 8/11/25 - 8/16/25

Fine Arts

Through open-ended work that starts with the process of applying paint, the possibilities for finding an individual image should be experienced.
The dialogue between imagination and perception should open up space for changing and expanding one's own painting.
The course begins with an introduction to the production of paints from pigments and binding agents. Various systems are shown: acrylic paints, egg tempera and oil paints.
During the course, you can work with ready-made paints or with ones you have prepared yourself. The basics of painting techniques and questions are explained.
The relationships between the image structure, composition and color should be questioned and developed during the painting process. By recognizing and avoiding arbitrariness, you should find your own way to finding and creating an autonomous painting.

Andreas Kotulla - Drawing - Experiments and Exploration (Woche 2)

€300.00

4 free spaces

Mon 8/11/25 - 8/16/25

Obere Altstadt

Fine Arts

For my artistic approach, it is essential to transfer aesthetic concepts and experiences from one medium to another. For drawing and for the course, this means, among other things, starting from the question: How does the space get into the surface ¬– and the drawing into the space?
I would like to encourage and support the participants to develop a personal approach to this issue and their own forms of expression, using as wide a range of techniques and materials as possible, from classic drawing techniques to more unconventional means.
Individual and group discussions about the experiences gained in drawing experiments should also be accompanied by occasional excursions into art history and visits to exhibitions on the subject.
