An artistic experience between departure and memory
The exhibition GO! New Beginning – Old Beginning brings the upper level of Hartmann Gymnasium to the gallery in Eppingen Town Hall and opens a clever dialogue between art history and the present. The students engage with Giotto di Bondone and Francis Bacon and translate their contrasts into their own ideas of images and space.
Between Renaissance and Expression
At the center is the human figure: with Giotto as an early, emotionally charged form of the Renaissance, and with Bacon as a vulnerable, fragmented presence. This art historical tension gives the exhibition a special depth. Painting, fresco echoes, photographic documentation, and performative elements open a view on identity, body, and expression.
School art with museum pedagogical precision
The exhibition shows how a teaching project becomes a convincing exhibition format. Artwork observation, cultural education, and curatorial thinking intertwine. It is precisely this connection that makes the visit exciting for art enthusiasts, families, and school classes: Here, not only is it shown, but understood, questioned, and further thought.
The Town Hall space as a stage
The gallery in the Town Hall imparts an open, public atmosphere to the project. In the historic ambiance of the Eppingen marketplace, a place for aesthetic experience arises, where architecture, light, and artwork presentation create a concentrated artistic experience. The accompanying performance for the opening also adds a lively accent between movement, body, and space.
Visit, Opening Hours, and Admission
The exhibition is accessible until October 2, 2026, during the opening hours of the Town Hall, Mondays to Fridays from 8 to 12 and Thursdays from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Admission is free. This offers an easily accessible visit, which is ideal for combining with a tour of the historic old town of Eppingen.
Conclusion: GO! New Beginning – Old Beginning is an exhibition about artistic learning, about change, and about the power of the figure. Those who want to experience contemporary school art with art historical resonance should definitely visit this exhibition live.
