Michael Gechter and H.D. Lorenz on their instruments – a listening experience!

Enjoy relaxed jazz sounds in the special atmosphere of our historic garden. A unique experience that invites you to linger.

We are pleased to invite you, together with Kunstsammler e.V., to a conversation with artist Christian Jankowski, filmmaker Prof. Dr. Alexander Kluge (online), and Dr. Larissa Falckenberg at Villa Schöningen: on Sunday, August 18 at 4 pm.

The panel is being held in conjunction with the exhibition “Antikstübchen Nachwort”, created as a tribute to the collector and individual Harald Falckenberg. “I am not particularly interested in beauty, goodness, and truth in art. The artists are concerned with engaging with society. And that can turn out ugly,” is how Harald Falckenberg, who passed away in November 2023, described his relationship with art. The three panelists will discuss the exhibition “Antikstübchen Nachwort” and the new work created by Jankowski for this exhibition from various perspectives.

Larissa Falckenberg, Harald Falckenberg’s widow, who is internationally renowned in the art world, worked alongside him for 25 years, helping to build up and oversee the Falckenberg Collection and accompanying her husband’s activities as a publisher and author as a widely respected editor. She will share the panel with internationally renowned artist Christian Jankowski. Harald Falckenberg supported and accompanied Jankowski from the beginning of his studies. Jankowski’s latest work, created for the exhibition “Antikstübchen Nachwort,” serves as a homage to the late art collector.

The panel will also include Alexander Kluge, one of Germany’s intellectual leaders, a significant filmmaker and writer, member of the Group 47, filmmaker, television producer, jurist, and philosopher who has realized various projects in collaboration with Falckenberg.

As part of the panel discussion, a selection of Alexander Kluge’s films will be shown at the Café in Villa Schöningen.

Before the discussion, Sonia González, Director of Villa Schöningen, and Tilman Kriesel, Chairman of the Kunstsammler e.V., will give a welcome address.

Please register in advance by email at info@villa-schoeningen.de. Participation in the event is free. Admission to the exhibition is 8 €/reduced 5 €.
