Light is a symbol of the divine, of hope, knowledge or transcendence. Art has also taken up this motif time and again – from the luminous gold background of medieval icons to the immaterial spatial experiences of the art of the Light and Space Movement. Spirituality is therefore a central theme.
Together with Pastor Lars Hofnagel and the curators Laura Rehme and Benedikt Fahrnschon, we will walk through the exhibition “Alles Licht” and discover how spiritual dimensions unfold in the works.

Electronic sounds in the middle of the exhibition with “Nummer zu Platz”.

With the Sound Collection, Kunsthalle Bielefeld and Volksbank Bielefeld-Gütersloh invite you to an evening at the museum unlike any other. Listen to the electronic sounds of the crew from Nr. z. P., stroll through the exhibitions and spend a relaxing time surrounded by art.

The museum closes at 21:00, but the event will continue until 24:00 in Café Gemach Manhatten.

In cooperation with: Volksbank Bielefeld-Gütersloh eG, Volksbank Lobby, No. z. P.

Light surrounds us and light makes the world visible to us.
But what happens when light and color influence each other in such a way that strokes that have just been painted suddenly disappear? Or when light “burns” objects, plants or photos onto a sheet of paper?
This is exactly what you can find out and experiment with at the Kunsthalle Bielefeld’s studio Farbenrausch! Glasses with red and blue lenses are available, as well as materials for light pictures with turmeric.

And the fun doesn’t stop there: Further experiments take place in parallel in the Knowledge Workshop. There, various drinks and foods are closely scrutinized. Have you ever looked at an energy drink under UV light? Seen pink spinach? Or fireworks made from turmeric? All this awaits you in the Wissenswerkstadt!

Get ready for a day full of science and art to participate in, marvel at and discover! You can start in both houses – both events are free to explore between 1-5 pm and are thematically linked.

Note: The Atelier Farbenrausch is not barrier-free

The Inclusion Dinner is a series of events organized by the Bielefelder Aktionsbündnis Inklusion. On this evening, together with the Kunsthalle Bielefeld, it invites everyone who is curious and open to an evening of culture, inclusion and encounters.

Over snacks and drinks at Café Gemach Manhattan, we would like to talk about disabilities, barriers, wishes, goals, visions and much more. You can expect a varied program including a guided tour in simple language, workshop and film screening.

Everyone is invited to be there. Participation is free of charge if you register in advance.

Welcome to Bielefeld!
Welcome to the Kunsthalle!
The Open House sees itself as a safe space for all people who have had to experience flight. You can take part in free creative workshops in the painting room once a month.

What is the nature of light? What are the differences between the various colors, and is it possible to “hear” light?

In this generally understandable lecture, almost without physical formulas, cosmologist Matthias Schmidt-Rubart (University of Bielefeld) introduces his audience to the fascinating world of light physics. He explains what physics understands by light, why astronomers often work with the wrong colors and what special applications a blue laser can have.

In the exhibition tour with art historian Ruth Kißling and curators Laura Rehme and Benedikt Fahrnschon, we take a look at the female protagonists of the Light and Space Movement. In addition to the artists themselves, the focus is on the curators, journalists, activists and publicists who shaped the development of the movement and helped it achieve international reach and recognition. The tour offers insights into their networks, influences and artistic strategies

You are invited to an evening with Bielefeld artists who are inspired by the exhibition “All light. Light and Space Yesterday and Today. They turn light into sound, movement, stories and poetry. Light becomes audible, starts to move and acquires its own language.

You can expect a varied program with dance by flowelements, a theater performance developed in cooperation between the Ukrainian youth theater Krapli and the Theaterwerkstatt Bethel, music by musicians from the jukebox format of the Bielefelder Jugendring e. V. and poetry slam by Slam OWL. The evening will be hosted by Niko Sioulis.

Between the program points, you will have time to view the exhibition and talk to the artists.

The event was suggested by the Kunsthalle Bielefeld round table and is being realized together with the Jugendring Bielefeld e. V. and the Theaterwerkstatt Bethel.
