Special Exhibition at Namu Bielefeld
The Natural History Museum is housed in a beautiful historic building, which is a real challenge for historical collections with its poorly insulated walls. However, the exhibition there is very authentic. The building breathes history. Thanks to the friendly team, I really enjoyed the hours I spent there with my exhibition.

The coronavirus rules had just been relaxed a little and we were finally able to meet again without masks towards the end of the exhibition. In general, it was a pleasure to be able to visit a public event again. At the same time as my special exhibition, the museum was showing a varied collection on recycling and upcycling. There were many repurposed everyday objects to marvel at, especially from the post-war period.

What a contrast: in contrast to the practical objects, my works of art are absolute luxury. Because they are simply for contemplation and reflection.
It couldn’t have been made any clearer: Art and culture can only flourish and be truly nurtured in times of peace—so that, in turn, they can inspire us all and enrich our lives together. Art and culture, in all their diversity, are indispensable.
