Solo exhibition & Workshops

“In February 2026, the Kunstakademie Tegernsee will present an extraordinary media art program featuring art prize winner Erika Kassnel-Henneberg. The artist combines analog image design, photography, and artificial intelligence to create hybrid visual worlds that redefine perception, identity, and creative thinking. Her works have been exhibited internationally, and we are delighted to present them for the first time in the gallery studio of the Tegernsee Art Academy.”

Workshops for young talents – Saturday, January 31st 2026

Two creative age formats will take place on the first weekend of the exhibition. Children and young people will develop their own visual worlds and experience artistic processes between analog design and AI-based enhancements—freely, appreciatively, and without technical pressure.

After the workshop day, we will present the results of the children’s and youth workshops publicly in the exhibition.

The midissage creates artistic visibility, opens up dialogue between analog creativity and contemporary media art, and provides the ideal introduction to the continuing education program for adults.

Adults – Basic course “AI in artistic practice” (with certificate) two days 

February 21–22, 2026, 10 a.m.–approx. 6 p.m.

Day 1: Artistic workflows, hybrid design, collage, material practice, and image aesthetics—

taught artistically, practice-oriented, and without technical pressure.

There is plenty of room for free experimentation: you work at your own pace, receive individual support and specific input when you need it. In a focused, relaxed atmosphere, time often flies by. A joint lunch break invites open conversation, exchange, and networking.

Day 2: Closing exhibition – group exhibition

After completing the basic course, we will display the results in a public group exhibition – together with works by Erika Kassnel-Henneberg.

The workshop ends on Sunday afternoon with a joint exhibition setup, where selected works will be presented.

Afterwards, we will open our doors for an open house for friends and acquaintances – as an appreciative conclusion to share insights, make processes visible, and celebrate the resulting works together.
