Art in concentrated measure: Opening of 'The Small Format' in Dießen
On October 9, 2026, the 12th edition of 'The Small Format' will open at the Cultural Forum Blue House – a producer exhibition initiated and supported by artist and curator Annunciata Foresti since 2008. The opening invites you to an art experience that focuses on great artistic quality in small-format works and makes the exhibition atmosphere of the Blue House sensually tangible.
Small Formats, Big Impact
The exhibition is dedicated to images and objects with a maximum size of about 40 x 40 centimeters. The limitation of the format sharpens the viewing of the work: Color tones, material textures, line structures, and image spaces unfold intense presence in a small area. Painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and installation meet in careful curation – a dialogical interplay of form, color, light, and surface.
Art History in the Present: Producer Exhibition as Cultural Practice
Under the aegis of Annunciata Foresti, 'The Small Format' has established itself as a non-profit project that brings art directly, accessibly, and at affordable prices to those interested. This producer exhibition connects to the tradition of self-organized art initiatives and shows how contemporary art mediation works beyond the market: transparent, participatory, and community-focused.
Supporting Program and Awards
Embedded in a changing supporting program with video installations, lectures, performances, and special exhibitions, a lively exhibition atmosphere develops. A public award honors the feedback from visitors; a jury prize from the Landsberg a. Lech district sets a quality-assuring, curatorial sign. Additionally, the municipality of Dießen makes a purchase – a clear commitment to cultural education on site.
Aesthetic Experience in the Blue House
The Cultural Forum Blue House, located in the heart of Dießen, offers its clear spaces and characteristic light a precise stage for small-format art. Thoughtful hangings, sight lines, and pause areas support concentrated perception: Structural contrasts, pigment depths, paper reliefs, and tactile traces become immediately readable.
About Annunciata Foresti
The painter and cultural creator, born in Italy and working at Lake Ammersee, has initiated 'The Small Format' since 2008 and shapes the regional art scene with projects like the Dießen Atelier Days. For her commitment, she has been awarded the Tassilo Cultural Prize from the Süddeutsche Zeitung, among others. Her curatorial signature combines artistic quality, accessibility, and engaged cultural work.
Conclusion
Those who want to experience art in a condensed format will find sensual clarity and art historical depth here. 'The Small Format' unites diversity and measure, opens the view for material, color, and form – and invites you to discover art directly. Visit the opening, immerse yourself in the works, and support an exhibition that keeps culture vibrant locally.
