Postcards from Nowhere
It is within this dialogue that we would like to work during Postcards from Nowhere. How do memory, emotion, and imagination shape what we see? How does a place become intertwined with personal experience? Through drawing, writing, and experimentation, we will explore the ways in which geography and subjectivity continuously influence one another.
Genau in diesem Spannungsfeld möchten wir in Postcards from Nowhere arbeiten. Wie prägen Erinnerung, Emotion und Vorstellungskraft das, was wir sehen und erleben? Wie verbindet sich ein Ort mit persönlicher Erfahrung? Durch Zeichnen, Schreiben und experimentelles Arbeiten erforschen wir, wie sich Geografie und subjektive Wahrnehmung gegenseitig beeinflussen und kontinuierlich neu formen.
The Invisible
“Everyone was encouraged to be exactly who they are, and Gosia especially supported and empowered us in our creative work (…) It was really the mix that made it so special: the balance between personal contemplation and active community allowed me to be productive – freely and with great joy!”
“Jede und Jeder durfte so sein wie sie/er ist und wurde besonders beim kreativen Arbeiten durch Gosia ermutigt und bestärkt (…) Die Mischung hat’s echt gemacht: persönliche Kontemplation und aktive Gemeinschaft im Wechsel haben es für mich möglich gemacht frei und mit ganz viel Freude produktiv zu sein!”

Meet chef Mélanie Wehrli
“I cook from my heart, my memories, my body and my mind. I cook intuitively. Which means by feeling, experience, and exploration. With not so many techniques involved.”

On connection and creativity
"Back then my vision was born to build a place to unfold creativity, bringing together a variety of artistic disciplines, artists and participants that fertilize one another. And through each course opening up the space for the experience of connection."
This post takes you to the beginnings of the Studio Schmal art workshops and tells about the overall vision for the project.
