Game of Tiles: When Art Becomes a Table Tennis Match
In the Waidspeicher Gallery, sporting ambition meets contemporary art: At the table tennis tournament Game of Tiles, artist Josephine Schulz invites you to actively play on her extraordinary tiled table. The tournament takes place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 2 PM to 5 PM in the exhibition Why so serious?.
A Playing Field of Ceramics
The table tennis table consists of 244 hand-painted and fired tiles, which Josephine Schulz has arranged on a large board and fitted with a net. The ceramic construction combines precision, material feel, and joy of play. Each rally thus receives a special visual and acoustic dimension.
Between Serve, Tactics, and Art Action
At the center is a real table tennis tournament with direct duels, quick reactions, and focused courtroom tension. Serve, placement, and controlled pressing at the table determine the rallies. At the same time, the action playfully questions the division between high culture and popular everyday culture.
Fame, Recognition, and a Ceramic Unique Piece
The winner awaits, in addition to fame and recognition, a handmade ceramic unique piece from the artist. Participants must bring their own table tennis paddles. Whether to additionally play with the ceramic paddles will be decided by a coin toss.
Experience Art, Break Rules
The event is part of the exhibition Why so serious?, which explicitly invites visitors to touch, experiment, and interact with the artworks. Between the audience, the tiled table, and the rallies, an unusual stadium atmosphere arises in the gallery room - with fan chants, concentrated gazes, and the energy of a sports competition.
Conclusion
Game of Tiles offers a table tennis experience beyond ordinary sports halls: creative, immediate, and full of court tension. Those who want to experience art not just as spectators, but with serve, tactics, and reactions will find an extraordinary tournament format in the Waidspeicher Gallery. Prior registration is recommended.
