In the middle of the forest, surrounded by nature - that’s what it feels like when we are in the forest room, in the garden of the Brücke Museum. And this is exactly what we take as an occasion for joint artistic experiments: In nature we draw, build and design with materials from the forest.

The very choice of wood as a grown material was a small revolution at the beginning of the 20th century. Exactly what earlier generations of artists had cut to size, polished smooth, or painted over appealed to the Brücke artists: grain, cracks, unevenness, even the irregularly grown form. All the randomness of nature was now incorporated into the design. It became an artistic program.

Let’s go to the forest to be outside and create art. Because there you will find suitable materials and there is a lot of space. The works in the Brücke Museum can serve as inspiration.

Cracks, fissures or grains: No two pieces of wood are alike. Therefore, woodblock printing is a printing technique in which nature has a great influence. Now you can try out this special technique in the forest room between the Brücke Museum and the Kunsthaus Dahlem! You will get to know a sophisticated printing technique, think about the themes of nature and the forest, and incorporate them into your image design. The works of the Brücke artists can also give you ideas for this.

The early themes of the Brücke artists included depictions of people, in motion or as nudes. “Quarter-hour nudes”, as they called the rapid drawing exercises, were primarily concerned with capturing a model within a short time with quickly placed strokes and lines. This immediacy became one of the most important foundations of Expressionism. Katie Lee Dunbar, as a contemporary performer and visual artist, takes up these themes with them from a contemporary artistic perspective. The forest space and surrounding garden provide space to take up the historical themes of the Brücke artists’ group and to explore them artistically (through drawing and performance).

Are you ready for artistic experiments? Would you like to playfully try out new forms of drawing, painting and printing in nature and in the museum? How can games and toys help you? - Over 100 years ago, the Brücke artists inspired each other and challenged each other with playful ways of working. They experimented with techniques, shapes and colours, drew a lot outside in nature and developed their own shared practice in the process. With wood and ropes in the forest, you transform your artistic way of working while perceiving our environment in a new way. Together we think up ways of playing that help you to draw, paint and print. You will also draw with ink and discover solar printing. On the last day, we will exhibit all the results and invite visitors to the forest room to transform and play.

Come and celebrate with us in our beautiful museum garden! You can expect a varied programme with music, short tours and workshops for children, young people and all those who like to create. Or visit our current exhibition 1910. Brücke. Art and Life. Admission is free!

We invite you to Museum Sunday at the Brücke-Museum. Our programme offers opportunities to engage with the museum and the exhibition for children and adults.

How are architecture and the body connected? How does the body react to the built environment? How do I perceive architecture with my senses and my body? In what way does the design of a space alter my movements? Which postures do I adopt, which positions and physical impulses seem inappropriate or impossible? The focus of this workshop is the physical experience of space in Werner Düttmann’s constructions. Choreographic approaches will be developed in dialogue with the architecture. Dance will thus establish a new relationship between the body, movement, and architecture.
