Sound Walk
Make plants audible. Under the direction of Barbara Balba Weber, music mediator and lecturer Music in Context, students have created a Sound Walk around the Zentrum Paul Klee. The students react to nature with artistic ideas. You too can get involved in this resonance space and interactively shape the Sound Walk by consciously listening to it.
Library
Take some time for yourself. Sit down with your notebook in the library (in the Creaviva studio in the basement). Here you will find leisure and time for your thoughts to run free.
Artmaking in the studio
Immerse yourself in the interactive world of Creaviva and let your artistic inspiration flow. Take the opportunity to create your own personal souvenir of the conference.
Exhibition «Cosmos Klee»
Explore Paul Klee's world in the exhibition «Cosmos Klee». 80 works from the Zentrum Paul Klee collection, complemented by photographs, wall texts, treasures from the archive such as Klee's record collection and films, provide an overview of Klee's life and work.
Little Suns
Admire the artwork «Little Suns» created by children. In collaboration with «Lascaux Colours & Restauro», different interpretations of the sun have been created in the Creaviva's studios. The works on the walls in front of the auditorium impress with their colourful and expressive style.
