On August 23, doors open at 3:00 p.m., offering visitors a firsthand look at the work of the current fellows at Schloss Wiepersdorf.

Author Susanne Schädlich will present her story "Teufelskreis" from the short story collection Der Westen: eine ostdeutsche Empfindung (2026). In conversation with the book's editor, Cornelia Geißler, she will discuss East-West German sentiments, memories, as well as observations and explore whether the labels "East" and "West" have become mere codes for an outdated culture war.

British-German artist Taslima Ahmed will hold an artist talk about her creative process and painting exclusively through technological means. For her series "Non-Analogue Paintings," she repurposed an industrial printer to build up layers that mimic painterly textures, impasto, and thick brushstrokes. This segment will be complemented by a lecture on art and artificial intelligence by media artist Manuel Gnam.

South Korean installation and performance artist Hyunju Oh will perform her piece Pain, unspecified (2019). In this solo performance, she utilizes the specific properties of various materials to create a metaphor for pain that defies specification.

Visitors can also look forward to additional presentations by fellows from the fields of visual art, humanities and social sciences, as well as literature. As every Sunday, the museum and the café in the Orangerie will already open at 1:00 p.m.

The full program will be available shortly on the Cultural Foundation Schloss Wiepersdorf website.
