Anne Schädlich

As part of the third field of dialogue, Anne Schädlich further developed her artistic practice and made it visible. She focussed on the creative process: sewing, painting, crocheting or building, she processed impulses from everyday life – without ready-made plans, but with a great deal of experimentation and spontaneity.

During her six weeks, Anne collected found objects and donated items of clothing from the neighbourhood. These textiles were used to create large-format carpets and two-dimensional works that carried the stories of the city and its people. Old fabrics were given new value, their traces told of lives lived and became visible anew in the artistic work.

Anne invited visitors to discover these newly created surfaces, to engage with their own perspective and to ask questions: What constitutes the value of materials? Which stories remain, which are lost? Her works were both aesthetically impressive and provided inspiration for a more conscious approach to resources, memories and encounters.
