„Tassilo, Korbinian und der Bär - Bayern im frühen Mittelalter“
The Bavarian State Exhibition 2024 “Tassilo, Korbinian und der Bär - Bayern im frühen Mittelalter” at the Diözesanmuseum Freising will commemorate the 1300th anniversary of the diocese. The highlight of the exhibition designed by jangled nerves is the media staging of the unique Tassilo-Liutpirc chalice.
In 2024, the city of Freising celebrates the 1300th anniversary of the arrival of St. Corbinian, who became the first bishop of Freising in 724. His story is told using the famous baroque frescoes of Freising Cathedral, which were created to mark the 1000th anniversary. Spatially projected, animated openings introduce the scenes depicted and at the same time explain the baroque view of the early medieval legends.
Visitors encounter St. Corbinian and the bear that always accompanies him in the reception room. A multi-layered and deeply effective spatial arrangement was chosen here, which enables visitors to make visual connections between the two protagonists and the depiction of their story. The bear is repeatedly brought to life by the commentary level staged by jangeld nerves and follows visitors through the exhibition with biting wit.
The exciting history of the Agilolfing dukes and other important personalities of the Bavarian early Middle Ages are also highlighted. In particular Duke Tassilo III, whose fate and his legendary treasure take center stage. The undisputed highlight is the world-famous Tassilo-Luitpirc chalice, which stands out in its own room and is auratically staged to unfold its impressive effect.
In the large-scale projected closing film, cabaret artist and director Christoph Süß offers visitors the “showdown” of the exhibition in his usual humorous Bavarian style. In this wall-filling conclusion, the historical events are presented in five chapters. It also answers questions that arose during the visit and raises new ones. The reduced color scheme of the rooms does wonderful justice to the architectural simplicity of the white diocesan museum, while the rather dark lighting does justice to the overall mystical mood of the dramatic narrative. In addition, great importance was attached to inclusion and barrier-free exhibition stations when staging the exhibits.
Jangled nerves was also responsible for the spatial design, conceptual design, project management and audio and media production of the opening production and the concluding film for the Bavarian State Exhibition.
