Art event with audience award and exhibiting jury

The Truderinger Art Days are taking place for the 17th time, a special art event that has also attracted international attention: artists from Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Lithuania and Austria have also applied to take part. This year, a four-member jury, including artist Mimi Mynz from the Art.Salon artist program, selected 24 positions from over 170 submissions. The Art Days focus on communication between artists, who are on site every day, and the public. Visitors have four votes each for the audience prize of 700 and 500 euros. For the first prize, there is also a bronze trophy designed by Andrea Matheisen. The vernissage of the Art Days is on April 17 at 7 pm in the Munich district of Trudering-Riem, after which the exhibition will be open daily from 1 pm to 6 pm until April 21. The audience award will be presented on the last day at 6 pm.

Another feature of the Art Days is that the jury members are also allowed to exhibit works of art out of competition. The artist and graphic designer Mimi Mynz is inspired by real architecture, whose elements she translates into two-dimensional forms. She contrasts the statics and clarity of the architecture with a dynamic, expressive choice of colors. This is influenced by the emotions that the buildings she looks at trigger in the artist. At the Art Days, she is showing works including Thunderous silence, Oslo No. 2 and Ljubljana No. 1. Thunderous silence is based on the simultaneous feeling of fear and courage when slowly crossing a bridge, Oslo No. 2 was inspired by the Oslo Opera House, which in its complete unnaturalness surprisingly created feelings of calm, and Ljubljana No. 1 was created after visiting a castle whose cellars combined elaborate architectural elements and untreated rock.
