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...

International Festival of Visual Arts in Częstochowa and Zawiercie, Poland

Image
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

Image
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...
