In cooperation with the adult education centre, a joint German-French exhibition with a varied supporting programme will take place from 17 May to 19 May 2024 at K37 (Waldhausenerstr. 37, 41061 Mönchengladbach).
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!
