Art nights in Erding: Discover local masters with Simone Lachmann!
An exciting evening tour that combines art and local history will take place in Erding on Wednesday, June 25th. Under the title “Da Bene, da Hiasl and d’Magda: Art and Artists in Erding”, the Erding Museum invites you to a journey of discovery at 7 p.m. This evening, art historian Simone Lachmann will delve into the biographies of Hiasl Maier, Magda Bittner-Simmet and Benno Hauber. ed-live.de reports that these artists have significantly shaped the region's cultural heritage.
What influence did their works have? Hiasl Maier, born in 1894, was best known for his landscapes and portraits, which he created in his second home on Lake Chiemsee. Magda Bittner-Simmet, born in 1916, lived in Schwabing and became well known in Munich society as a sought-after portraitist. Benno Hauber, born in 1924, was a true all-rounder and not only created advertising graphics for Erdinger companies, but also impressive wall designs in the city. Participation in the tour only costs four euros – a real bargain for art lovers!
A look at the artist Magda Bittner-Simmet
But the event also has a deeper social context. The foundation that launched the “ImageVisit” project addresses Magda Bittner-Simmet’s work from more than just an artistic perspective. Their goal is to present accessible art to seniors, especially residents of retirement homes. These exhibitions are complemented by various offerings such as lectures and creative workshops. According to the foundation, seniors should be motivated to engage in their own artistic activity through art. mbs-stiftung.de explains that this special type of engagement with art opens up the opportunity to revive buried memories, especially for those suffering from dementia.
The events are in line with a growing awareness of inclusion and participation in culture. From the aspect of participation, the model of 'participation-oriented mediation' has become established, which specifically addresses people with little experience in 'high culture', as well as students and seniors with dementia. Comprehensive offerings are intended to ensure that everyone has access to cultural experiences. Information about these initiatives can also be found at dementia-und-art.de, which promotes inclusion and diversity in art.
An evening that not only brings Erding's art history to life, but also makes a valuable contribution to social participation. If you would like to find out more about the artist Magda Bittner-Simmet, you should definitely save this date!
