The consideration of whether and how much plastic we want to produce and use in the future seems to me to be a question of existence. This is
The world of art is constantly in motion. In this exciting environment, there are always emerging talents who stand out with fresh ideas and unique perspectives. The association “bskunst” has made it its mission to give these creatives a stage. Currently, an exhibition titled “Newcomer 2” is running in the foyer of the Centro Hotel. I had the opportunity to
„Do it yourself, make it new, make it nice“, this triad is the motto of the artistry of the art nouveau period. The exhibition „Goddess of art nouveau“ is dedicated to this art historical era at the edge of the 19th century to the 20 th century.

Facing Britain is the name of the exhibition which is currently shown at the museum Mönchehaus Goslar. It is a touring exhibition that could be visited in other German cities before. Facing Britain claims that it documents the development of the British society from the 1960ies until today. What has started as documentary photography, our guide tells us, ends with

Since mid of July 2021 the art gallery Geyso20 shows the exhibition Yakamoz in Braunschweig. There is also an additional programme. I visit the public guided tour on 15.8.2021 in order to learn more about the two artists, Murak Akat and Lena Schmidt-Tupou. From a rational point of view I am far away from being an adept. Therefore I enter
