Spiritual insight through art - this is the idea behind the current special exhibition at Schloss Bruck, curated by Hubert Salden. "Art and religion point beyond the visible to the immaterial.

Immersing in the artwork, seeking peace and engaging with one"s own thoughts, independent of the personal proximity of the viewers to faith or religion, challenges to engage with oneself. The fundamental offering of the images in this exhibition makes one vigilant and resistant to the various strategies of manipulation.thus enabling a critical view of images of ideological and political propaganda.
