Young artists at the cathedral: Tibor Koehne enthusiastic with a new exhibition!

Brandenburg an der Havel, Deutschland - What is going on at the Brandenburg cathedral? An exciting project is currently starting to enrich the local art scene. Tibor Kohne, a talented young artist from Berlin, has agreed to cooperate with the art class of the Evangelical Cathedral High School lasting several weeks. He is supported by art educator Ingeborg Lockemann. Together, the students work on their own works of art, which are finally presented in their own exhibition.

Tibor Koehne, born in 1998, discovered his interest in art early on. Growing up in the picturesque Ticino, he has been studying painting at the Berlin-Weißensee art college since 2018. In addition to his intensive studies, Koehne also attended the class for experimental film at the University of the Arts in Berlin. His work revolves around places, people and periods and address fundamental questions about our existence. Through numerous trips and exhibition visits, he has acquired a broad knowledge of the contemporary art and film scene.

artistic exchange and residence program

KOHEHNE is part of the renowned artist-in-residence program, which has been offering a platform in the Brandenburg Cathedral since 2017. The initiative takes up artistically outstanding master student graduates every two years to offer you a public forum for your work. St. Matthäus emphasizes that this program also serves the confrontation of medieval and contemporary art and gives people in Brandenburg the opportunity to experience contemporary art in connection with Christian faith and cultural tradition.

The artists reside for three months in the cathedral castle courtyard, where they have a studio and become part of the community there. The end of your stay is celebrated with an exhibition accompanied by artist talks and tours. This collaboration with the art class of the Domgymnasium is an essential part of the program and ensures an exciting exchange between the students and the artist.
