In dieser Führung entdecken wir die Kunst von Niki de Saint Phalle. Sie war eine bekannte Künstlerin und ging ihren eigenen Weg. Mit ihren Kunstwerken setzte sie sich für Freiheit, Selbstbestimmung und die Rechte von Frauen ein.
In der Ausstellung sehen wir farbenfrohe Figuren, große Skulpturen und ungewöhnliche Kunstwerke. Gemeinsam sprechen wir über das, was wir entdecken, und tauschen unsere Gedanken und Eindrücke aus.
Nach dem Rundgang werden wir selbst kreativ. Im Palaststudio probieren wir Materialien und Techniken aus und gestalten eigene Werke. Bei einem Glas Tee kommen wir miteinander ins Gespräch.
 
Treffpunkt Museum ist einmal im Monat.
Geflohene oder zugewanderte Menschen sind herzlich willkommen, für sie ist der Eintritt frei.
 
Wir freuen uns auf Sie!

We cordially invite all interested teachers to the introduction of Niki de Saint Phalle. Dream Machine. Together, we will visit the exhibition and then present the programme for secondary schools. During the guided tour, you will gain insights into works spanning four decades of Niki de Saint Phalle’s (1930–2002) career. The French-American artist made her mark in a male-dominated art scene. In her work, she also explored themes such as power, anger and self-determination – from her ‘shooting pictures’, through habitable sculptures lined with mosaics, to the large, powerful-looking Nana sculptures. She translated emotions into art, reframed her female figures as strong and self-assured – in contrast to societal norms – and created entire fantasy worlds.
