Vernissage / Hamburger Bahnhof 

Thursday 28^th November – 8pm 

Though oft overlooked, gallery walls are of the utmost importance in the delivery of an artist’s work. The surface to hang complete works upon but also the starting point for many pieces, without the walls viewing many works would be very difficult indeed. The latest exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof will present a group show of pieces originally based on site-specific engagements by renowned artists working in various practices.

Vernissage / KOW – Franz Erhard Walther 

Friday 29^th November – 6pm

Discover sculpture in a new way with exhibition ‚Körperformen‘ or ‚Body Shapes‘ by German artist Franz Erhard Walther. Claiming that “Sculpture doesn’t need the eye,”, Walther has been challenging the relationship between viewer and sculpture since the sixties, creating work out of textiles which are designed to be interacted with, addressing all of the senses. His latest exhibition at KOW will continue with this theme and present a range of minimal, abstract sculptures almost resembling a “larger-than-life building-block set”.
