MITTE37 - A New Center for Art, Exchange and Experimentation

Image
MITTE37 — A New Center for Art, Exchange and Experimentation In the quiet heart of Burgdorf, just between the rhythms of everyday life and the wider cultural landscape of the Hannover region, a new artistic space is taking shape: MITTE37. More than a gallery, more than an atelier, and more than a temporary home for artists, it is a living, breathing place where contemporary art, cultural dialogue and creative hospitality come together. At its core stands the studio of Susanne Schumacher, an artist whose practice moves confidently between photography, Fluxus, Mail Art and conceptual approaches. From this studio, a hybrid space unfolds — one that welcomes exhibitions, artistic production, residencies and neighborhood-based cultural work. MITTE37 is designed as an open forum, intentionally positioned outside the commercial gallery system. Here, proximity matters: proximity between artists and audiences, between guests and hosts, between ideas and the people who carry them. The program emb...

MITTE37 - independent contemporary art space

Image
MITTE37 is an independent contemporary art space dedicated to fostering artistic experimentation, critical dialogue, and cross-cultural exchange. Established as a hybrid environment that merges studio practice, exhibition-making, and community engagement, the space operates at the intersection of artistic production and public discourse. Rather than functioning as a fixed institution, MITTE37 positions itself as an evolving platform that continually redefines its scope through each exhibition, collaboration, and curatorial gesture. The program is structured around a set of recurring formats that articulate distinct curatorial perspectives: TIMEPICTURE as an introspective point of departure; EXPANDED FIELD as a transatlantic exchange; FRESH MOVES as a regional spring initiative; 37 * HAVE A LOOK as an international Mail Art exhibition; and an annual collection presentation that serves as a moment of reflection. These formats operate as conceptual frameworks that bring together diverse ...

All Against All - Alle Gegen Alle I EISFABRIK HANNOVER

Image
Opening of the Second “All Against All” Exhibition at Eisfabrik Hannover. On December 11, 2025, the exhibition “Everyone Against Everyone” opened in the White Hall of Eisfabrik Hannover (Seilerstraße 15F, 30171 Hannover) — a format that captivates through its radical openness and democratic spirit. The concept developed by the artist collective Kong (led by Anton Riebe) is as simple as it is unusual: There is no jury and no preselection. - Anyone who submits a work — whether painting, sculpture, installation, ceramics, or photography — may place it in the hall themselves, as long as space is available. - The artists design their presentation independently; the exhibition remains uncensored and unembellished. This creates an overwhelming panorama of the local art scene: colors, forms, and subjects encounter one another freely and on equal footing. Visitors experience an atmosphere of diversity, joy, and mutual understanding that makes the spirit of community tangible. Between pride ...

FLUXUS 2025 – OPEN TINY BIG - Art as a State of Being, Not an Exhibition

FLUXUS 2025 – OPEN TINY BIG -  Art as a State of Being, Not an Exhibition Berlin, October 2025. Between Sonnenallee and Karl-Marx-Straße—where everyday life pulses and the city reveals its raw, poetic sides—a space opened for three days that was anything but ordinary: the OPEN TINY KIEZKIOSK at Treptower Straße 84 became the stage for a state of artistic exception—FLUXUS 2025 & COLLAGE – OPEN TINY BIG. What happened here wasn’t an exhibition. It was a state. A flow. An invitation to think, feel, and co-create. Around 50 visitors—including artists, writers, cultural managers, and art-loving flâneurs—found their way into this temporary resonance space, which defied the conventions of the art world and instead celebrated the unfinished, the spontaneous, and the processual. From Chicago to Hannover to Berlin – A Movement in Motion Back in August, FLUXUS 2025 had already dissolved boundaries between performance, dance, and visual art at an interdisciplinary festival in Chicago. Unde...

FLUXUS 2025 – OPEN TINY BIG

Image
FLUXUS 2025 – OPEN TINY BIG: Art as a State, Not a Show Berlin, October 2025 In a time when art is often confined by formats and institutional frameworks, a space in Berlin’s Harzer Kiez opens itself to the opposite: “OPEN TINY BIG – FLUXUS 2025 & COLLAGE” is not a conventional exhibition—it’s a state of being. A spark. A contradiction. From 10 to 12 October 2025, the OPEN TINY KIEZKIOSK at Treptower Straße 84 becomes the site of an artistic experiment dedicated to the spirit of Fluxus: radically open, fluid, and unfinished. The event begins on Friday, 10 October at 6:00 PM with a ceremonial opening led by Susanne Schumacher, whose work across text, sound, and performance has made her a vital voice in the experimental arts. She is followed by Rainer Wieczorek—artist, sociologist, and self-proclaimed DADAsoph—whose art performance challenges conventions and invites the unexpected.  The evening continues until 9:00 PM with interventions, spontaneous actions, and encounters with t...

Message in a Bottle – Mail Art Exhibition

Image
Message in a Bottle –  WERK 2, Leipzig 8 September – 21 November 2025 What happens when the romantic idea of a drifting bottle becomes a global art movement? The Leipzig-based printmaker etcetera23 (André Radke) turns the concept of the traditional message in a bottle on its head: instead of casting messages into the sea, he invites artists worldwide to send their thoughts, dreams, and provocations via postcard. The result is “Message in a Bottle,” a vibrant mail art exhibition hosted by the Grafikdruckwerkstatt at WERK 2 in Leipzig. With over 350 original works submitted by 280 artists from 35 countries, the show celebrates the power of analog communication in a digital age. Each piece—created using techniques like linocut, etching, letterpress, and riso—explores the poetic tension between sender and unknown recipient. Inspired by historical figures like oceanographer Georg Neumayer, who used bottle messages to study sea currents, and literary icons such as Astrid Lindgren and Edg...

Exhibition Fluxus 2025 & Collage “Ja, dann ist das so!” ( “Yes, then that’s how it is!”)

Image
Fluxus 2025 –  “Ja, dann ist das so!” ( “ Yes, then that’s how it is! ”)  On the first weekend of September, the Kunst & Musik Etage Hannover opens its doors to an extraordinary event that defies all conventional exhibition practices: Fluxus 2025 – “Yes, then that’s how it is!!” is not a museum-style arrangement, but a living, breathing art experience that unfolds through voices, gestures, and provocations. Crossing the threshold of the Etage means entering not a traditional exhibition space, but an artistic laboratory devoted to chance, participation, and resistance. Initiated by Lars Schumacher, an artist who moves between sound, poetry, and space, the project draws from the rebellious spirit of the 1960s Fluxus movement. It’s a place where art is not finished but open—not a product, but a process. Over 180 international artists transform the Etage into an archive of possibilities: collages, texts, performances, and hybrid forms invite visitors to engage, co-create, and...
