When the space in between stretches hollow, how can we fill the void?
The pursuit of comfort gently guides us back to regeneration’s primordial source: the natural world. If comfort insulates from emptiness, paves the way for renewal, nature is comfort’s foremost wellspring. In nature, as with art, sensation comes to the fore. Its embrace quietens the void’s silence. In this stillness, elemental impulses initiate anew, creating space for connection and healing.
Tethered to the earth, the practice of ceramics is a vessel for nature’s comfort; transmitting energy from the ground into the artist’s hands, relinquishing its matter to their whim. Imbued with intuition, natural matter finds new form; receiving the imprint of its sculptor’s expression, an invitation.
As witnesses to the meditative act of creation, to time’s uneven passage, ceramics, and their contours embody not only physical comfort, but spiritual courage: a quiet reminder that without enduring the void’s passage, there can be no emergence; no reconnection.
CULINARY EXPERIENCE by pars berlin
Kristiane Kegelmann (visual artist and owner of the label "pars Pralinen") will take care of the culinary accompaniment.
The spacious, idyllic grounds have been chosen many summers in a row as a popular destination where art and pleasure can be wonderfully combined.
In the garden, which invites you to linger, you can discover fine delicacies and drinks. The small, exclusive menu offers dishes and products made by local producers, as well as (natural) wines, refreshing spritzes, and iced chocolates.
