The Artist’s Place

Artists’ places make visible that art does not emerge in a vacuum, but through the interplay of place, time, perception, and lived life.

“For many years I have lived and worked by Lake Chiemsee. The landscape, the changing light, the seasons, and the stillness of this place accompany my daily work and shape the perception from which the sheets emerge.”

The live-work studio connects art and everyday life. The images do not hang in an exhibition. They live in the space between books, ceramics, conversations, meals, and the traces of a lived life. This is where the works of Tage und Zeichen are created. Here they are viewed, questioned, discarded, and continued.

Those who know the works encounter their origin here—not the origin of a single idea, but the relationship between space, time, landscape, and daily practice from which the series emerges.

Artists’ places held particular significance in classical modernism. We think of Paul Cézanne and Aix-en-Provence, or Claude Monet and Giverny.

“I was particularly struck by Alberto Giacometti’s live-work studio in Paris.”

Such places tell us not only about works, but about the conditions in which they come into being. They make visible that art does not emerge independently of its surroundings.

The live-work studio can be stayed in for a few days.

To spend a few days in a place shaped by art, and from which the works of Tage und Zeichen emerge. This offer is part of Gregor Stehle’s understanding of art. Art is relationship, and we ourselves are part of this mutual interdependence.

“On most days it is part of my daily artistic practice. For a few days each week, or while I am traveling, this place opens to guests.”

It offers the possibility of encountering individual works directly, as well as the space from which they emerge.

A journey to the origin of the works.
