When Chairs Tell Stories: Martina Herda Reads in Ansbach
On Friday, November 6, 2026, the mondo atelier gallery in the House of Art in Ansbach will transform into a literary place between fantasy, craftsmanship, and visual art. As part of the mid-exhibition of the besessed! exhibition, Martina Herda will read from her unusual chair stories.
Imaginative Tales with Quirky Lives
In Martina Herda's stories, chairs step out of their everyday functions and become willful protagonists. The clever, quirky, and entertaining tales begin in reality and glide into the wonderful, before leading back to reality. At the center is a language art that connects childlike imagination with literary wit.
Literature Meets Miniature Design and Visual Art
The reading is closely linked to the besessed! exhibition, which presents handcrafted miniature chairs by Klaus Herda and emotionally charged images by Annelies Schindler. This creates a special reading atmosphere where narrative imagination, design, and visual art communicate with each other.
Craft Insights as Literary Intermezzi
Between the fictional stories, Klaus Herda provides real facts about the respective chair protagonists and his craftsmanship. The combination of reading, exhibition, and practical design opens an unusual cultural discourse about things, memories, and the stories that cling to objects.
Martina Herda: Communicating Literature with Her Own Voice
Martina Herda is a high school teacher for German, French, and Italian. In addition to her work in language and literature instruction, she has organized and moderated more than 60 readings with renowned authors and led writing workshops. Since her youth, she has been writing reports and short stories. Her chair stories combine literary observation, humor, and an open eye for the wonderful in the everyday.
An Extraordinary Instrument as a Surprise Element
The author encounter is complemented by the presentation of an extraordinary instrument. Together with the miniature chairs, the images, and the changing voices of the reading, a sensory literary experience emerges that playfully transcends the boundaries between narrative, exhibition, and performance.
Conclusion: A Literary Evening for Curious Senses
Visitors can expect a free reading featuring imaginative stories, insights into the world of chair design, and an exhibition full of visual impulses. Those who have preserved their joy in linguistic art, quirky twists, and childlike imagination will experience a special author encounter in Ansbach. Experiencing the reading live means not only hearing literature but also experiencing it directly in its connection with art and craftsmanship.
