The 2026 highlight was the " International XR Sculpture Workshop" ; at Ganslberg,
the former studio of Fritz Koenig, led by Aylin Taslak and Irem Coban, two
experienced artists from Turkey. The Ganslberg is now turned into a place for
artists, led by Christian Schnurer, artist and curator based in Munich.

​

Aylin Taslak and Irem Coban introduced the participants to the medium XR and in
particular to creating virtual sculptures with Gravity Sketch.
Some participants had no prior experience with VR. Renowned artists such as
Tamiko Thiel also took part. Artist Ann-Kristin Kristiansen contributed a
philosophical perspective to the program. The head of XR4Europe, Michael
Barngrover, as well as Yan Zhou, artist in residence from China in the Muffathalle,
completed the international picture. In total, there were 20 participants. They all
managed to create individual works in a short time, partly the works related to the
premise of Fritz König.
