The theme of this year's exhibition and what unites all the works on display is "Human Nature". The opening will take place on September 1 at 11 am.
Curator Stephanie Borrmann on the exhibition: "Human Nature also means that nature and art belong to the essential categories of human thought and human existence in general. It is nature that has always fascinated and motivated people." The artists participating in this year's Salon depict the role of man in nature in very different ways in their works. They explore the question: "Is man part - shape of his environment?" The answers are very different - as individual as the exhibiting artists.
The works of these artists from Lower Saxony can be seen this year in the "Schloss Salder" exhibition:
Edward B. Gordon, Christian Holl & Lea Schürmann, Iris Juerges, Justine Otto, Ingo Rabe, Christian Retschlag, Asta Rode, Bernd Schulz, Christine Schulz, Birgit Streicher, Elisabeth Stumpf and Jan Thomas .

Workshop for adults:
"All about the print variant monotype", Lena Hammer, art educator
Saturday, September 14, 2 to 5 p.m.
At the beginning, the participants will look at the exhibition and talk about it. In the next step, they will look at the print variant monotype and the imprints of natural forms such as plant leaves and flowers. The monotype is a combination of painting and printing, in which a print is created by drawing or pressing on the wet colors. Each printed sheet is unique, as the print can never be repeated in exactly the same way.
Participants are welcome to bring their own plant leaves and flowers.
Workshops for children and young people
"Everything about and with nature", Lena Hammer, art educator
Sunday, October 13, 2 to 5 p.m.
Sunday, October 20, 11:15 a.m. to 2 p.m.
After the participating children and young people have explored the "Salon Salder" exhibition and then discovered how much nature surrounds them, they create pictures using dried natural materials such as flowers and plants. Afterwards, the young participants will work out human and natural forms that they encountered in the exhibition using modeling clay.
Workshops for senior citizens and children:

Saturday, 26.10.2024, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Sunday, 27.10.2024, 11 am to 3 pm
An intergenerational workshop for senior citizens and children aged 6 to 10 with art, movement and lots of stories.
In this workshop, participants will be inspired to tell stories by the works of art in the exhibition and their own experiences of nature. By telling these stories with words, texts and pictures, the participants get to know the diversity of their being.
Concert reading:
Sunday, 20.10.2024, 11.15 a.m.
"You can only see well with your heart", Michael Stoeber, cultural journalist, Benedikta Bonitz, recorder player and music teacher
Michael Stoeber reads excerpts from "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944). This philosophical and poetic work is one of the classics of world literature. Because its young protagonist asks existential questions that concern everyone: Who are we and how should we live? How important are friendship and love for people?
Concert recorder player Benedikta Bonitz accompanies the reading with her sensitive playing of classical and modern pieces of music.
Matinee:
Sunday, 27.10.2024, 11.15 a.m.
"Georg Lichter", Heinrich Römisch (music), Bernd Schulz (artist), Tilmann Thiemig (texts)
The matinee describes the story of Georg Lichter through image projections by Bernd Schulz, texts by Tilman Thiemig and music by Heinrich Römisch. The "hero" Georg Lichter is a storyteller in the tradition of the pure fool - like Parzival, Simplicius Simplicissimus or Forrest Gump - who has acquired the gift of seeing the world differently, possibly "really".
Lecture:
Sunday, 03.11.2024, 11.15 a.m.
"Man over nature?", Dr. Christina Karla Leopold, graduate geologist and paleontologist
When did the transformation of man as a part of nature to today's so common representation as "man and nature" take place, in which man tries to move towards nature and place himself back in nature, but precisely through this formulation shows all too clearly that a separation from nature has long and naturally taken place?
In this outline of the history of human development, the lecturer Dr. Christina Karla Leopold will not only describe from a scientific point of view when humans first created a form of art, but also explore the question of the extent to which becoming aware of one's own being had an influence on setting oneself apart from nature, working against nature, conquering nature and even giving thanks to nature (for example in the form of harvest festivals).
This is a question that today's primitive peoples and early humans certainly asked themselves differently than modern humans in today's society.
