Galerie Alter Dorfladen Altkalen - Painting in conversation with the space

Altkalen, a small town in the heart of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, is home to the Alter Dorfladen gallery - an unusual exhibition space that combines art and architecture in a special way. Here, the painter Grete Peschken shows works that not only stand on their own, but also consciously relate to their surroundings. Image and space become equally visible and tangible.

Grete Peschken's painting between stillness and perception

Peschken's works are characterized by a sensitive examination of space and perception. The paintings make contact with the spaces surrounding them - a quality that is particularly evident in the historic ambience of the former village store. Visitors to the coastal region between Rostock and Greifswald will find a quiet, remarkable place of contemporary art off the beaten tourist track.

Art in the Mecklenburg Lake District - discover the region

Altkalen is located in rural Mecklenburg, not far from the Baltic Sea coast and excursion destinations such as Fischland-Darß-Zingst or the Hanseatic city of Rostock. The Alter Dorfladen gallery complements the region's cultural offerings in an unobtrusive, authentic way and is worth a detour on any trip through Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
