A Day Full of Art: see, hear, taste
A pre-Christmas day full of art, words and indulgence – with Dili Bergmann and Tamara Höpoldseder
THE VERNISSAGE – DILI BERGMANN:
The afternoon opens with the vernissage “Quiet Intensity – Stille Kraft” at the ateliér dilí, just across from the Mesnerhaus. The artist unveils her exhibition as an encounter between painting and language: the author Tamara Höpoldseder accompanies the opening with a short reading that puts colour melodies and forms into words – a special moment of colour in real motion. Signed miniature artworks as postcards are available on site.

THE READING – TAMARA HÖPOLDSEDER:
Afterwards, the evening continues across at the Mesnerhaus. At a festively laid table, the author Tamara Höpoldseder gives the first-ever public reading from her new book “Die Wörter, die wir sind” (“The Words We Are”). Between the four culinary courses by award-winning chef Josef Steffner, texts unfold about being human, about growth, self-efficacy and the power of taking action. Accompanied by atmospheric music, literature, cuisine and sound merge into one immersive experience. A special debut evening: “Die Wörter, die wir sind” will be read in public for the very first time. Signed books are available on site.
