The history of the so-called “Polish Action” can currently be seen as a traveling exhibition in the Braunschweig City Library until February 29, 2024. The frightening thing about the historiography is the references to the current situation in Germany. In a country where, almost 80 years after the Second World War, a movement is planning to repeat cruel processes under

Exhibition: “The Dancers” by Heinrich Römisch

Exhibition: “The Dancers” by Heinrich Römisch

There is an all-rounder at work here. Heinrich Römisch not only presents a number of his numerous works in the “Jewel”. Pictures from. No, he also provides the musical framework with the Blue Moon Trio. Cheers! I call that admirable. Especially since I have no talent for drawing or painting myself. That commands respect from me. During the vernissage, how

Planet or Plastic

Planet or Plastic

Planet or Plastic – that is the question here. The title may be an allegory of “To be or not to be” from the Danish Prince Hamlet, loosely based on Shakespeare’s tragedy. 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

Modern tales: Between villains, dominance and pain

Modern tales: Between villains, dominance and pain

The BBK Kunsthaus currently shows the exhibition “Modern Fairy tales”, i.e. classic pieces of art newly interpreted by Friedhelm Kranz. The show is not fantasy but magical. The way Kranz displays his acts is extraordinary. Works and art forms of other artists are copied and manipulated. And maybe they are also, that’s my thought, newly interpreted. For that the works
