Events

Die Volksbank in Ostwestfalen und die Kunsthalle Bielefeld laden am Freitag, 13. Juni 2025, zu einer neuen Ausgabe der beliebten Veranstaltungsreihe „Sound Collection“ ein. Dabei können Besucher*innen von 18 bis 21 Uhr durch die aktuellen Ausstellungen schlendern und dabei die elektronischen Klänge der DJs vom Bielefelder Kollektiv “Nummer zu Platz” genießen.

Die „Sound Collection“ findet seit 2021 regelmäßig zu jeder Ausstellung in der Kunsthalle Bielefeld statt und wird von der Volksbank in Ostwestfalen großzügig gefördert. Dabei verbindet das Event Kunst und Musik in Zusammenarbeit mit DJs aus dem „Nummer zu Platz“. Dieses Mal werden DJ AN:JA, DJ Marla, Annie Anarchy, das SASSY Kollektiv, Unmarked Space, Nney und DJ Mirrodin mit DJ-Sets dabei sein. Als besonderes Highlight performt Annie Anarchy vom SASSY Kollektiv inmitten der Ausstellung ein Live-Set, bei dem sie ein kontrastreiches Feld zwischen experimentellen Klängen und dekonstruierter Clubmusik aufspannt.

Die Kunsthalle Bielefeld präsentiert derzeit die Ausstellung „Play, Life, Illusion. Xanti Schawinsky + Monster Chetwynd „Xanti Shenanigans““, die das Werk des schweizerisch-amerikanischen Künstlers Xanti Schawinsky in seiner ganzen Bandbreite zeigt. Daran anknüpfend sind großformatige Installationen der britischen Performancekünstlerin Monster Chetwynd zu sehen. Begleitend zur Ausstellung wirft die Kunsthalle mit „Kontext: Bauhaus“ einen neuen Blick in die eigene Sammlung und präsentiert Werke von Künstler*innen, in deren Umfeld sich Schawinsky während seiner Zeit am Bauhaus und am Black Mountain College in Amerika bewegte.

Das „Café Gemach Manhattan“ in der Kunsthalle sorgt von 18 bis 1 Uhr mit einer Auswahl an Getränken für eine entspannte Atmosphäre. Hier darf zur Musik der DJs auch getanzt werden. Der Eintritt in die Kunsthalle Bielefeld ist an diesem Abend frei.

What if you didn’t paint on paper, but on water? In Ebru painting, a traditional art form with roots in the Ottoman Empire, the image is not created on a solid surface, but on the surface of the water. Colors are not painted, but gently applied. Only when the paper touches the surface is the moment captured.

In the past, Ebru was used to decorate manuscripts, book covers and calligraphic works. Today, this technique invites you to combine mindfulness and creativity. Ebru is meditative, experimental and full of surprises and every picture is unique!

In this weekend workshop you will learn the basics of the Ebru technique and try out a lot yourself. The weekend course will be led by artist and Ebru expert Mutlu Yilmazer. You don’t need any previous knowledge – just a desire for color, curiosity and a little patience. After three days, you will not only take your own works home with you, but also a new way of experiencing art: slowly, fluidly and completely in the moment.

On 5.9.25 18:00 to 20:00
6.9.25 and 7.9.25 15:30 to 17:30
