Past Exhibition

Spiele im Park

The works presented in the exhibition “Games in the Park” thrive on their playful, ephemeral character.

It is only in dialogue with the viewer, in interaction with nature, that the meaning and beauty of the artworks unfold. Various artistic strategies encourage the viewer to interact and invite them on a journey that blurs the boundaries between the garden and the museum.

Our thanks go to the generous supporters of this project. An exhibition that is accessible to everyone was the goal. This endeavor was made possible, above all, through the support of the East German Savings Bank Foundation in collaboration with the Central Brandenburg Savings Bank in Potsdam.

On Paradise

Current exhibition

The exhibition On Paradise explores one of the most powerful concepts in cultural history, asking where the idea of paradise has led us over the centuries. At Villa Schöningen, the exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the interior spaces and garden, where historical visual traditions meet contemporary artistic perspectives.

Rather than presenting paradise as a lost place, the exhibition portrays it as a projection shaped by longings, ideals, and forms of control. Through depictions of nature, the human body and social order, we see how this concept continues to influence the present day.
