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...

International Festival of Visual Arts in Częstochowa and Zawiercie, Poland In a world overflowing with digital stimuli, Mail Art feels like a poetic relic—and yet, it’s more relevant than ever. At this year’s International Festival of Visual Arts "PO – Bridges of Multiculturalism", held in Częstochowa and Zawiercie, Mail Art plays a special role: as a medium of connection, a creative letter between cultures, and a quiet protest against forgetting. What is Mail Art?  Mail Art—also known as postal art—is a form of artistic expression that began in the 1960s. It’s not just about the artwork itself, but about the act of sending, sharing, and communicating. In an age of algorithms and automated messages, Mail Art is a deeply human gesture. Mail Art at the Festival: Paper Bridges As part of PO-MOSTY 2025, an international Mail Art project was launched, inviting artists from over 40 countries to send their works by mail. These include collages, drawings, texts, and photographs. The ...

Section 7: The Morpheusz Gallery Section 7 of the Morpheusz Gallery, where the exhibition Sör és kenyér (Beer and Bread) is being held, occupies a distinct part of the Podmaniczky Castle. Today, it serves as a temporary art space—an evolving venue for contemporary expression. While there is no specific historical documentation of “Section 7” as an independent entity, its current role symbolizes the cultural revival of the castle itself. The Morpheusz Gallery is more than a physical location; it is a curatorial concept devoted to transformation, metamorphosis, and artistic reflection—true to the spirit of its namesake, Morpheus, the god of dreams. Section 7 thus becomes not merely a room, but a framework where contemporary art engages in dialogue with historical architecture. A Castle of Many Lives The Podmaniczky–Széchényi Castle was built in the late 18th century by Podmaniczky II. Sándor and his wife Wartensleben Klára. It rose on the foundations of a former agricultural building an...

"Fluxus 2025 – “Ja, dann ist das so!” An exhibition between Chicago and Hanover – a state in flux. Fluxus is more than an art term – it is an attitude, an impulse, a contradiction to the established. Since the early 1960s, Fluxus has stood for the dissolution of boundaries: between art forms, between artists and audiences, between art and life itself. The term, coined by George Maciunas, means “to flow” – and this principle runs through both the history and the present of the movement. Following the powerful presentation in Chicago in August 2025, where the Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble became a stage for installations, performances, and interactive moments, the journey of Fluxus continues in Hanover. On September 6 and 7, 2025, the Kunst & Musik Etage Hannover will open its doors for the exhibition “Fluxus 2025 – Ja, dann ist das so!”, initiated by Lars Schumacher and presented as part of the renowned ZINNOBER Art Festival. What began in Chicago as “An Installation, A happen...

Between Alarm and Aesthetic: A Critic's Reflection on “Speaking Icebergish – A23a”

Kunst als Brücke: „The Ocean Between VIII – Luminosity“ in Chicago In einer Zeit, in der politische und gesellschaftliche Spannungen weltweit zunehmen, zeigt das Symposium "The Ocean Between VIII – Luminosity" in Chicago eindrucksvoll, wie Kunst als verbindende Kraft wirken kann. Unter der künstlerischen Leitung von Marianna Buchwald und Tamara Wasserman entfaltet sich eine transatlantische Plattform, die weit mehr ist als eine Ausstellung: Sie ist ein lebendiger Dialog zwischen Kulturen, Perspektiven und Ausdrucksformen. Kunstkritische Betrachtung: Begegnung durch Kreativität Was „Luminosity“ besonders macht, ist seine Konzeption als Ort des Miteinanders. Hier begegnen sich Künstler:innen aus unterschiedlichsten Ländern – Arbeiten im Rahmen des Fluxus 2025 Projektes von Ai Weiwei, der in Chicago ansässige Kulturanthropologe Dale Pesmen bis zu dem aus Hannover stammenden Lars Schumacher, dessen Projekt "Fluxus 2025" eine Hommage an die gleichnamige Avantgarde-...

In the historic horse stables of the romantic hotel Kasteel Daelenbroeck in Herkenbosch, a special art project is taking place. It’s more than just a regular exhibition—it’s a powerful call to protect the rights of children. The exhibition is called Children’s Rights and shows how art and poetry can work together to raise awareness. It’s also a great example of teamwork between different disciplines. The project leaders: Carmen Heemels & Ed Hanssen At the heart of the exhibition are two passionate artists: Carmen Heemels is a visual artist, teacher, and curator. She started the KunstSalon and creates exhibitions that are not only beautiful but also meaningful. Her work focuses on topics that touch people deeply. Ed Hanssen is a conceptual artist with international experience. His art is bold and expressive. It often shows both the honesty of children and the thoughtful reflections of adults. His pieces are strong visual messages—sometimes uncomfortable, but always real. Together, ...
