Free space for thoughts and buildings #6
This summer, for the sixth time, the Freiraum für Gedanken und Bauwerke, the building time of the Kunstverein Langenhagen, takes place. From July 10 to 28, all those who feel like it can build, sew, ferment and more together with various artists in the garden of the Kunstverein.

On the meadow in the garden, between crooked trees, small hills and weird sculptures, we want to prepare a big summer fest for three weeks. What do we need for the fest? A stage? A big table? A feast? Festive clothes and jewelry? And what do we want to celebrate? The warmth of the sun? The shade of the trees? Our strange ideas, or the things we've built, sewn and concocted?
Freiraum für Gedanken und Bauwerke and Das Fest are a collaboration of young artists from the Hannover region, with people from Langenhagen and the surrounding area.
Together you can participate in the preparations for Das Fest for three weeks. Each week has a main focus:
July 10-14 from 12 to 5 pm: In the first week, furniture will be disassembled, built and invented. Tables, chairs, stage sets and more can be created in the process. With Orpheo Winter and Charlotte Maria Kätzl.
July 17-21 from noon to 5 p.m: During the second week, fabrics will be made into clothing, costumes, banners and tablecloths. With Agathe Borbe and Kira Wieckenberg.
July 23-28 from noon to 5 p.m.: Week three experiments with food and drink, scents and flavors, fermenting and brewing. With Lucila Pacheco Dehne and Jan Neukirchen.
On Saturday, July 29, the great festival will be held in the garden of the Art Association from 3 pm. During the festival, the things created in the open space can be used, admired and eaten. There will also be music by bands and DJs.
Participation is open for everyone and free of charge.
Materials are available on site, but can also be brought from your own basements, garages, closets and pantries.
Feel free to drop by or register in advance at: mail@kunstverein-langenhagen.de We look forward to seeing you!
Freiraum für Gedanken und Bauwerke is kindly sponsored by the VGH Foundation and the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture.
