Workshop at KULTURLABOR.sh

Everything in Motion – How Does Water Move? Can a Painting Itself Set in Motion?

Artist Carole Isler invites you to explore painting through experimentation. Starting from her current exhibition Strands in the nine art display cases located throughout the city of Schaffhausen—an exploration of movement in hair and water—the focus now shifts to water itself at KULTURLABOR.sh.

The workshop is aimed at young and life-experienced participants who enjoy experimenting, offering space to create their own visual worlds with watercolour and acrylic paint. Water itself becomes part of the painting process: colours spread, flow into one another, are guided, layered, or dissolved again. Participants explore layers and traces, intention and chance, as well as observation and abstraction: What happens when we let go of control? How do colour gradients and new forms emerge?

No previous experience required—just curiosity and a desire to explore colour, water and dynamics.

Participation: Free of charge, donations welcome

Where: KULTURLABOR.sh, Bachstrasse 27, 8200 Schaffhausen

With: Kunstkaesten Schaffhausen & Carole

Registration: No registration required

Watercolor Exhibition at Schloss Seeburg Kreuzlingen

For the Lange Nacht der Bodenseegärten (Long Night of the Bodensee Gardens) 2025, held under the motto WeinbauKULTUR (winegrowing culture), the vaulted cellar of Schloss Seeburg will exhibit watercolors by Carole from 6 to 9 p.m. The works were created on behalf of the Department of Society and Culture of the City of Kreuzlingen and the Seemuseum. They have been, and continue to be, used for things like brochures and overview maps – now on display in their original form for the first time.

The exhibition combines the historic ambiance of the castle with traditional viticulture and contemporary illustration. The display includes well-known objects from the museum, the Fragrant and Winter Flower Garden, and the Arboretum located in Seeburgpark, along with depictions of the park.

Painted portrait in the Frankfurter Rundschau

The association Wahrheitskämpfer (wahrheitskaempfer.de) creates an international memorial to press freedom through drawn and painted portraits of journalists who have been killed, persecuted, or imprisoned. Since 2015, artists from around the world have portrayed journalists who were threatened or killed because of their work. Nearly 1,000 portraits have been documented so far.

In August 2025, the Frankfurter Rundschau (fr.getoetete-journalisten) published several portraits from the project in its coverage of journalists killed in the Gaza Strip, including a work by Carole.
