Events in Lüdinghausen

In the "Art in the Town Hall" series, artists from the region are given the opportunity to exhibit works of art from the fields of painting, graphics, photography or object art in the Town Hall, thus positioning themselves as part of the Lüdinghausen cultural scene and selling their art.

Long, high corridors and therefore large wall surfaces on the ground floor and first floor of the old town hall building provide an attractive exhibition space for presenting exhibits. To mark the opening of the exhibition, the town of Lüdinghausen organises a vernissage in the foyer of the town hall together with the artist.

The duration of the exhibition is approximately three months. The exhibitions can be viewed at the following times: Monday to Friday from 7.30am to 12.00pm, Monday to Wednesday from 2.00pm to 4.00pm and Thursday from 1.00pm to 6.00pm.

Preview: 14 May to 31 August 2024 - Painting exhibition by Maike Mestermann

The exhibition by the Münsterland-based artist duo moves from the surface into the space. The aesthetic paintings and drawings by Marius Stutte and the voluminous installations and sculptures by Julia Arztmann initially create an unusual picture: Stutte's large-scale works in pastel-coloured acrylic are juxtaposed with Arztmann's small watercolour drawings, which are sometimes reminiscent of zoological-scientific animal illustrations. Conversely, Arztmann's supernatural marvellous creatures, made from various everyday objects, seem to communicate with Stutte's delicate, sweeping drawings. Together in one room, the works enter into a surprising dialogue: different sizes, textures and dimensions, artistic seriousness and humour collide. The experience of harmony and tension at the same time makes for a captivating exhibition experience.

From the "Dialogues 2024" series.

The district of Coesfeld cordially invites you to the opening of the exhibition on Saturday, 8 June at 6 pm.

On this cool 5-day course, you will build your own lightsaber. Of course, it should also light up and make noises. An electrician will help you with the production and installation of the technical components. A cosplayer will help you with the design. You can let your imagination run wild with the thermoplastic material Worbla. The outfit is rounded off with a Jedi costume that you sew yourself. You will be supported by a seamstress.

And best of all - it costs you nothing!

2024 marks the 110th anniversary of the birth of stage designer and painter George Ștefănescu-Râmnic (1914-2007). The artist's family is therefore organising exhibitions in Lüdinghausen and Bucharest under the title "Life like a theatre".

The story of the artist, who was born in the First World War and was seriously injured in the Second World War, and who lived to see a united Europe in his old age, is told in five acts like a theatre play.

The exhibition can be seen free of charge at Lüdinghausen Castle from 16 June to 25 August on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. The vernissage is on 16 June at 11 am. The organiser is KAKTuS Kulturforum.
