...Cato once said and Picasso wrote to a winery friend ‘Without wine there is no art!’
At DEINHARD's, the symbiosis of wine and art is present everywhere. Be it in the lobby with a brilliant permanent exhibition on the theme of ‘Bacchus’ by the famous contemporary artist Markus Lüpertz, be it the art staircase with works by Rhenish academy scholarship holders from 40 years ago, be it in the wayside chapel, the FLORA restaurant or the DIAN restaurant.
German Romantic art in the corridors and passageways throughout the site, historical and modern Moselle landscapes.
The historical art is paired with advertising design and advertising graphics from the heyday of the Deinhard sparkling wine brand, which is known far beyond the borders of Germany.
Anna Bulanda-Pantalacci, a professor of artistic design, artist, art historian and cultural practitioner who is well known beyond the city's borders, has taken an in-depth look at this topic and has prepared highly interesting, customised and perfectly prepared art tours every second Sunday of the month.
Anna Bulanda-Pantalacci studied advertising in Minsk near Warsaw and painting, graphics and book illustration at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, where she graduated with a diploma and honours. She studied art history, museum studies, ethnology and comparative religious studies at the University of Bonn.
In 1989 she moved to Trier, where she has been teaching original graphic techniques at Trier University of Applied Sciences since 1996.
In 1999, she was appointed Professor of Artistic and Experimental Design and is still active today as Cultural Officer at Trier University of Applied Sciences, Director of the INTRARE Institute and President of the Moving Laboratory Institute.
With the help of research and further education institutes, she now regularly designs and realises numerous art education study and special projects for children and adults in Germany and abroad.
In 2008, she founded an international network ‘Cross Border Network of History and Arts’ - a nomadic university - at Trier University of Applied Sciences. For 10 years, the network connected university teachers and students from various academic and artistic disciplines worldwide through projects and research.
In 2016, she conceptualised and launched an unusual project called ‘Freedombus’ - a university laboratory on wheels. Participants from 16 countries travelled from Krakow to Trier for a fortnight, engaging in intercultural, artistic exchange and exploring art-historical, political and social issues along the way.
In 2018, Anna Bulanda-Pantalacci founded the INTRARE Institute in the Department of Design at Trier University of Applied Sciences and the Moving Laboratory at the University of Luxembourg, where she had assumed the presidency.
At the award ceremony in the auditorium of Trier University of Applied Sciences, the Head of Cultural Affairs of the City of Trier honoured the diverse work of Anna Bulanda-Pantalacci in the following words: ‘In addition to her work with students, Anna Bulanda-Pantalacci's work with children is another focus of her work. She has realised over 90 projects with children, including children with disabilities or serious illnesses. She always tried to reach everyone." He characterised the professor as a ‘doer with a smile’. Professor Dorit Schumann, President of Trier University of Applied Sciences, and Dean Prof Sieveke spoke of the award winner as a ‘radiant person full of energy and positive charisma’.
