Art in the Evening: From Fine Lace to a Monumental Lenten Veil
as a part of the exhibition SPITZE!
After a short refreshment break, we will make our way together to St Agatha’s Parish Church in Mettingen. There, a very special work of art awaits us: the Lenten veil created by Adelheid Dirksmeyer and her sister Elisabeth Engelbert. With its large-scale, intricately crafted bobbin-lace elements, it is an extraordinary example of contemporary lace craftsmanship. As the Lenten veil is only on display in the church during the season of Lent, we will take this opportunity to enjoy an in-depth viewing on site.
Both artists will personally speak about the creation of the work and provide fascinating insights into the design, technique, and history of their project.
