Updates

 The Hohenburg-Project takes an unexpected turn:
Among the findings recovered from the attic of Building 14,

 I found a collection of 43 letters written between 1935 and 1945

 between a young woman named Sidonie Graf, née Reiser,
and her lover and later husband Nikolaus.
At first, it was only the unusual woman's name that caught my attention,

 for Sidonie is actually a name commonly found among the French nobility.
But because only men are ever mentioned as significant

 in both major and regional history, I decided to find out:

 ‘Who was Sidonie Graf?’
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

 Of course, my exhibition is receiving press coverage.
And what's special about it is

that the exhibition is not taking place in a sterile gallery,

but in a lively art café with a perfectly suited atmosphere.
The rapid increase in traffic on my website reflects how much attention my work is receiving..

 From September 11 to November 9, my exhibition will be on display in Markt Hohenburg.

The invitations have been sent out.

The photo below shows one of the pages of the information folder

that will accompany the exhibition.

 From 17 to 22 July 2025, I carried out the saving operations in Markt Hohenburg

for the exhibition scheduled there for autumn at the Hammermühle.
This is what my work looks like:

The picture above shows a typical situation in the attic of an abandoned house,

professionally documented by Amberg photographer Marcus Rebmann. 
The photo below shows the sorting of the finds in my ‘headquarters’,

the guest room of the abandoned inn ‘Zum Schwanen’.

 In February 2025 this ensemble of findings from my rescue-activities with the focus on roadside-garbage in the village of Benaulim in Goa/India was acquired by the collection of fine art Landolt/Switzerland.

 Until September 30, 2024 the ARTe Wiesbaden has a continuation

because the analog exhibition is followed by a digital exhibition.

The access is via the qr-code above.

While wandering through this exhibition

one can click at the artworks and they will be enlarged for more precise inspection.

In my case one can also click an interview I have given about my art-work –

but it is all in German.

During the art fair "ARTe Wiesbaden" from 13th to 15th of August 2024

the NGO "Paul Klinger Künstlersozialwerk" runs an image-campaign.

I participate in this campaign.

On this occasion a well designed catalogue will be published

presenting my work this way.

 In September 2024 during the art-fair "ARTe Wiesbaden"

some of my works will be featured in an online exhibition

that promotes the very meritorious mission

of Paul Klinger Künstlersozialwerk.

I feel very honored.

 Since April 2024 one of my works is shown

in Mr. Baker's Coffeehouse at Steinstrasse 12, Munich/Haidhausen.

Thanks from the heart to the owner Dorothea Sigel!

More works will follow,

as soon as there is more space on the walls of this enchanting place.

 In March 2024 the work created inGoa/India in collaboration

with the Wuppertal based painter Martina Kaufmann

was presented in the Easter Calendar of Paul Klinger Künstlersozialwerk.

 In March 2024 the very Bavarian magazine MUH

celebrated my work with a six-page feature story.

 In January 2024 during a stay in Goa/India

 I carried out a spontaneous saving in an abandoned portugese villa from colonial times 

near the town of Margao.

The compaction of the findings led to a first cooperation

with the very inspiring painter MARTINA KAUFMANN from Wuppertal/Germany.

She created the red background made of holy hinduistic Kumkum-powder.

A very promising cooperation that we will carry forward on a much higher level.

 In October 2023 I was invited to contribute with one of my steles

to the Halloween installation

of the fantastic, surreal, playful, political and very pleasant ATELIER M&M in Munich.

I followed this invitation with great pleasure.

 In October 2023 this review regardig the exhibition

HOMMAGE AN INGEBORG BACHMANN at ART ACTIVE GALLERY, Passau/Germany

to which I contributed my impressive ensemble TOTENBRETT

was published in the local newspaper.

In July 2023 just by chance I came across the fact

that in the prestigious newspapar SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG

the author of an ironic article about Bavarian slang

mentioned my exhibition MISSION GRAFFL

because the word "Graffl" in Bavaria means "old and useless things".

 In March 2023 the very important magazine AVISO

published by the Bavarian Stateministry of Sience and Arts

appreciates my work with a great feature-story.

This magazine as well as earlier editions can be read as e-paper

under the following link:

 In May 2023 the catalogue featuring my exhibition MISSION GRAFFL

features my solo-show MISSION GRAFFL at FREILICHTMUSEUM MASSING

In July 2022 the catalogue documenting Lee Mingweis exhibition LI, GIFTS & RITUALS

It shows me and MITNAHMEDINGE,

the installation of neo-archeological savings

I contributed as guest to the project THE LIVING ROOM.

In July 2022 I welcomed the opportunity

to express myself through the completely unfamiliar medium of action paintig.

It all happened during the seminar

THE COLORS OF YOUR LIFE

by the very inspiring artist Camilla Korte at Eressos/Lesvos/Greece.

In June 2022 I received a grant from the Government of Upper Bavaria

to put my project MISSION GRAFFL into action.

In February and March 2022 I was invited

as the first Artist in Residence

at the creative community THE ZEN HOUSE in Tulum/Mexico.

In January 2022 I had my first image- and information-brochure printed.

An important statement as well as an important tool

to promote my work.

 In September 2021 I applied for the Luxembourg Art Price 2021.

I did not win one of the three highly endowed main awards

but received this certificate of appreciation ...

... whatever it may be good for.

In August 2021 I was invited

to contribute to LEE MINGWEI'S projekt THE LIVING ROOM at VILLA STUCK, Munich

with an installation of my neo-archeological savings

which I named MITNAHMEDINGE.

In July 2021 a one hour long radio-interview with me

about my neo-archeological savings was broadcasted.

In July 2021 the poster promoting the exhibition

THE ROUGH AND THE BEAUTY at GALLERY AT HARA, Scala Eresou/Lesvos/Greece

to which I contributed several works

featured two of my steles that I had errected one year earlier at Zichliontas Beach.

In January 2021 the art-hotel CASA LUNA, Tulsayab/Mexico

acquired my majestic stele WIRES I had produced there for its sculpture-park.

On September 2020 I was invited to show three small arrangements

of my neo-archeological savings

during the group-exhibition WAS MENSCHEN BERÜHRT"

in the lobby of the Bavarian Stateminsistry of Social Affairs.

My first ever appearance as an object-artist.
