Textiles, Sound and Upcycling: The BAU!halle at St. GeOrgel invites you to participate

On July 15, 2026, St. GeOrgel in Gelsenkirchen will transform into an open workshop for artistic experiments. The BAU!halle combines textile practice, upcycling, and sound art into a vibrant artistic experience where everyone can contribute.

An open studio between craftsmanship and contemporary art

At the center is a workshop that not only showcases art but understands it as a joint action. With Jenny, textile projects will emerge from fabrics and materials that are rethought, cut, sewn, and transformed into surprising forms. The atmosphere is characterized by practical creativity: focused, experimental, and at the same time easily accessible.

When textiles become sculptures of everyday life

The BAU!halle works with the aesthetic principle of transformation. From mesh, textile remnants, and other materials, a giant hammock, yoga bolsters, or shoulder bags can be created. Thus, upcycling becomes an artistic method, and the material itself becomes a carrier of a new visual language. This is precisely the allure of this exhibition in the broader sense: from utility value, a poetic added value grows.

Sound installation and spatial effect

In parallel, GeOrgel#2 will be newly constructed and played, the sound installation that was recently experienced in the art museum. This expands textile work by adding an acoustic dimension. Space, light, and sound combine to create an installation that makes the place an open field of perception. Visitors experience not just a work of art but an aesthetic experience between material, rhythm, and space.

Tactile cultural education

The event exemplifies cultural education in the best sense: open, participatory, and sensory. It shows how art mediation, museum education, and collective work can intertwine. Those who participate here do not merely observe a process but become part of an artistic production that develops from the neighborhood and radiates into the public space.

Conclusion

The BAU!halle at St. GeOrgel promises an inspiring afternoon of textile art, sound installation, and collaborative workshop practice. Anyone looking for an open artistic experience with social and aesthetic added value should not miss this date and should experience the exhibition live.
