Great community picture in the Pasinger town hall: art that inspires!

In the Pasing town hall, a community picture of the artist group Art-Vision is currently being issued, which was created around ten years ago as part of a district festival in Pasing-Obermenzing. This large -format artwork measures an impressive 240 cm x 360 cm and shows striking motifs of the district, including a young traditional woman and the Pasinger train station. The approximately 15 artists who were involved in this project have organized the image on a voluntary basis. The city took over the material costs, which shows how important the district and its cultural development is to those responsible. It is planned to make the work open to the public and to present them permanently, including an official inauguration with pointers that should draw attention to the artists involved. Among the active people can be found as sensitive talents as Babs Beyer, Robert Birk, Manuela Franz and other creative minds.

"Art in public space is much more than just a pretty picture" is the opinion of experts. In many cases, as well as in the community picture in Pasing, the direct dialogue with the population is encouraged. A perspective that has long been known in art and cultural work was particularly illustrated in 2024 by seven art exhibitions in the Pasinger town hall. The Association of Art and Culture in and around the Pasinger town hall is also planning numerous exciting exhibitions for 2025. There are already exciting programs in the starting blocks, including a collaboration with the school of Gauting's imagination and a hiking exhibition of the street art project "Art on the Bauzaun".

A look at upcoming exhibitions

Planning for the cultural tourist year 2025 comprises a variety of art forms and life realities. Visitors can look forward to the following exhibitions shortly:

• Spring: Exhibition with the School of Fantasy Gauting and the Paul Hey Middle School Gauting.
• Spring: Hiking exhibition "Art on the construction fence" with photographs and printing.
• Early summer: exhibition of the "Granny Gang" with paintings in the town hall.
• October: Exhibition on Engel sculptures in Dr. Michael Meuer.

This variety of projects testifies to a dynamic art life in the region and invites a general public to come into contact with art. In numerous discussions with artists, the possibilities of other exhibitions are considered, which means that new ideas and perspectives can flow into Pasing's cultural spaces.

art in public space today has more than ever the task of taking up social issues and opening access to cultural participation. Innovative projects, similar to the works of art experienced in Pasing, aim to step directly with the citizens: inside dialogue and thus raise awareness of relevant topics. In the case of participation projects, as they have already been successfully carried out in other cities, the voice of the community is made visible and audible - a basic idea that should also be pursued in the Pasinger context.

Overall, this commitment shows how important art is for social cohesion and that it can offer a platform that meets the highest demands. A wide variety of perspectives and talents of artists: In the future, the inside will continue to find their place in the Pasing town hall and make guests aware of important topics. Samerberger Nachrichten reports that the works of art can not only create beautification, but also dialogue rooms in which a feeling of participation arises. At this point, cultural education is also accessible to those people who cannot be easily achieved in conventional framework.
