Preview: What visitors can expect in the future

• Curated group exhibitions: Thematically focused shows combining painting, photography, video, and installation works are still to be expected. Digital media will likely be an integral part – for example, as projection, film sequence, or interactive elements.
• Architecture as stage: The character of the church space remains a central experience: light, sound, and projection will likely be used in a site-specific way to connect analog and digital levels.
• Publications and accompanying texts: For upcoming editions, documenting materials (e.g., accompanying texts or catalogs) are again to be expected to make content accessible beyond the exhibition period.
• Juried contributions: Professionally selected positions that bring together regional and supraregional perspectives are still to be expected.

Planning aids for your next visit

1. Check dates early: Upcoming dates are usually published via municipal cultural calendars and organizer communications. Plan several weeks in advance, as registration or opening formats (e.g., vernissages) can be in high demand.
2. Schedule a time slot: For media-based works, a quiet time frame (30–60 minutes) is worthwhile to fully experience video loops, sound, and interaction.
3. Inquire about accessibility: The historical setting is atmospheric but can vary structurally. Check in advance for access, seating, and any notes on light/sound intensity.
4. Take advantage of conversations: Openings, artist talks, and guided tours are ideal opportunities to ask questions about technology, production, and motivations behind the digital works.
5. Take documentation with you: Accompanying material helps to review impressions and track positions – especially with multipart video installations.

NFTs in Erding: Perspectives for future formats

NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are digital certificates of ownership on the blockchain and are used internationally for art editions. In Erding, a content-driven approach is currently emerging: The focus will likely remain on curated exhibitions whose digital works can be experienced even without token trading. Future formats may – depending on the concept – incorporate NFT references, for example through:

• Introductory lectures: Basics of NFT technology, legal issues, and collection strategies.
• Work examples with on-chain reference: Contextualized presentations that foreground artistic questions (original/copy, visibility, provenance).
• Networking opportunities: Conversations between artists, curators, and the public about opportunities, risks, and sustainability issues of digital distribution.

Transparent communication remains important: If NFT aspects become part of future programs, clear information about technical requirements, data protection, and any costs can be expected.

Responsible Visiting: Good practice for media-based exhibitions

• Respect for space and work: Avoid flash photography, do not overlay soundtracks, do not touch installations – unless expressly intended as interactive.
• Observe recording instructions: Depending on the work and rights context, photo/video restrictions may apply.
• Sensory notices: For strobe or sound peaks, pay attention to posted warnings and personal sensitivities.
• Sustainability: Digital art often involves electricity consumption; follow on-site instructions for resource conservation (e.g., closed doors, reduced volume).

Arrival and framework

For exhibition visits near Erding's old town, it is recommended to arrive by public transport or bicycle, as parking can be limited during peak times. Plan for short distances between the train station, old town, and exhibition venue. Information on barrier-free access and possible closing times is usually announced in advance of each exhibition.
