WORK - LIFE - BALANCE

"Contemporary art in the K37
Joint exhibition on the topic of work-life balance
From 4 October to 6 October, a joint exhibition of artists from Mönchengladbach and the surrounding area entitled ‘Work-life-balance’ will take place at K37 in cooperation with the VHS Mönchengladbach.
In recent years, the need for a new balance between work and leisure, life and the necessities of life, self-determination and heteronomy has been discussed.
Today, many people are asking themselves who they actually are or what they want to do with their lives. These new debates about identity often take place on a very abstract level and don't always seem to us to be goal-orientated. We would therefore like to try to find an artistic answer to this complex by bringing together artists from a wide variety of backgrounds and techniques. The aim is to create a diorama of different perspectives on identity and society, work and life that will help us to continue thinking about these fundamental questions for all of us.
We were able to win Frollein Suomi (Object artist and poet from Finland), who in her art makes everyday objects in particular the subject of an examination of her own life's journey; Tom Hütt (Photographer from Viersen), who uses ICM photography to pose new questions about temporality, everyday life and identity; Nils Backhaus (Painter from Nettetal), who uses abstraction to re-emphasise the question of the form of the individual in the field of tension between consciousness and corporeality; Elena Kambina (Painter, performance and video artist from Uzbekistan/ Ukraine), who makes the interaction of her art with the viewer and the associated reflection and projection itself the subject of her art; Jutta Weidemann-Tigges (Painter from Mönchengladbach), which is dedicated to the field of tension between individuality and sociality of the gaze andReinhard Tigges (Painter and sculptor from Mönchengladbach), whose work focuses on the aspects of heteronomy, the value of work and balance.
The art exhibition will be opened with a vernissage on 4 October at 19:00. The event will be introduced by an art-historically orientated introduction to the theme of the exhibition by Mr Dr. Bernhard Jansen. .
On Saturday, 5 October, there will be a brunch for invited guests.
On Sunday, 6 September, the ‘wonderful old town flea market’ will take place on Waldhausenerstr. parallel to the exhibition. The K37 will be open during the flea market.
The exhibition is free for visitors.

Experience Europe together
The exhibition and all events are open to the public and free of charge.
Three French artists and three German artists give a joint insight into their work.
From Normandy, France, Viviane Dubosc (painter from Sommery) is represented, who devotes herself in particular to the theme of tides from various artistic perspectives; Jean-Pierre Georgin (sculptor from Le Tréport), a mathematician who deals with the human form in motion, among other things, in the field of tension between figuration and abstraction; Sylvain Georges (photographer from Dieppe), who is dedicated to the individual in a dissolving space.
The three German artists are Jutta Weidemann-Tigges (painter/ Mönchengladbach), who is particularly concerned with the physicality and culturality of movement as a coditio humana; Jürgen Heinze (Sculptor/Korschenbroich), who deals with the rearrangement of industrial artefacts, among other things, and thus thematises the movement of the human spirit through the means of alienation itself in his work; Reinhard Tigges (Sculptor/Painter/ Mönchengladbach), who utilises the formal language of surrealism when he conceives movement as a spaceless abstraction and thus approaches the human psyche itself as a subject.
The event will kick off with a vernissage on 17 May 2024 at 19:00.
On Saturday, 18 May 2024 at 16:00, there will be a group discussion on the topic of "on the move/mobility" and its significance for individuals.
On Sunday, 19 May 2024 at 14:30, an "ArtWalk" will be held by local artist Malte Sonnenfeld.
We look forward to your visit!
