Vis-á-Vis

Vis-à-vis eV was founded in 2007 and is an association for promoting contemporary art in rural areas. The artists are Alexander Ewgraf, Tobias Krug and Karl Witti, all of whom live vis-à-vis the village church, as well as the art historian and curator Christian Burchard, also from Eresing. Eresing has become a lively center for contemporary art in Landsberg am Lech with a varied program of exhibitions, accompanying guided tours, lectures, artist talks, youth program and film screenings.

Through the dialogue between local artists and international artists (including Robert Motherwell, Sigmar Polke, Bernd Zimmer, AR Penck, Arnulf Rainer), we are setting new trends that have attracted regional and supraregional attention.
