15. Art Village Unterjesingen. Motto: Into the Open

15. ART VILLAGE UNTERJESINGEN THE DOCUMENTA IN THE VILLAGE "INTO THE OPEN" "Into the Open" is the title of the high-profile exhibition organized by the team of the 15th Art Village Unterjesingen in the historic village center. Twelve renowned artists from the contemporary art scene from Hesse, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Rhineland-Palatinate, and Switzerland will showcase their works on June 27 and 28, 2026, in old barns, stables, the Bürgerstüble, the Farrenstall, the Keltern Museum, and the old town hall. "Into the Open" signifies a movement, a stepping out from a closed space that may be familiar and provide security or may hinder and restrict, into an open, fictional space, an imagined world where imagination can unfold. "Man is only fully human where he plays" (F. Schiller). Art emerges there, in the open, in the free play of imagination. The path into the open can mean liberation, insight, enrichment – for the artist, but also for the viewers. They are invited to open themselves to art, to follow it into the open. And where could the path be shorter than in the art village – in the village where art has come? A catalog will be published for the exhibition.
