Event information
Date & time
The exhibition:
What is really important in life? What experiences shape us, what questions accompany us through our time?
The works of artist and painter Beate Haupt revolve around these fundamental themes of our existence. Starting with the big questions of life - from birth, consciousness and soul to the inevitable finiteness - the artist explores human existence. Her works reflect the tensions between truthfulness and transience, between the lived moment and the sense of finite existence. This results in pictures that are more than mere depictions: they create moods, open up mental spaces and tell stories. They reflect experiences, emotions and questions that not only move the artist, but can also touch the viewer.
Exhibition opening, April 26, at 11 a.m.
Welcome and opening:
Representative of the City of Salzgitter

Supporting program of the exhibition
Two children's workshops: Sunday, May 3 and Saturday, June 20, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. each day
To begin with, the young participants visit the exhibition and take a close look at the works of artist and painter Beate Haupt. A special change of perspective is tried out, in which the children sit or lie down in front of the pictures to discover colors, shapes and small details from unusual angles.
After a short break, they then get creative themselves. They use finger paints to create their own and group pictures in large format. They can mix the colors themselves and apply them to the paper using different techniques and materials.
(Please bring something to drink and a tasty snack and clothes or a discarded shirt to put on in case the paint doesn't just end up on the paper).

Two workshops for adults: Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, July 5, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. each day
The participants will visit Beate Haupt's exhibition together and approach the works in dialog. Based on the exhibition title "The things of life", the question is explored: Which things accompany, shape or touch our own lives and how can they be found in forms, colors and structures? This question accompanies the participants in a joint discussion in the exhibition space and invites them to contribute their own perceptions, memories and associations.
The participants then get creative themselves. They create their own paintings on different formats on canvas and paper. The colors can be mixed freely and applied experimentally with different tools and materials. The focus is on experimentation, personal expression and the joy of the artistic process.
