Work in Progress from 20. bis 29. November

Opening Saturday, 30th November at 7pm, Sunday, December 1st, open 2- 7pm

In November, the NIZA collective will visit us and create a wall-sized work for “Matchbox” in the gallery within just one week. As in the group’s previous works, in which murals were realized in public spaces in Bremen, Polleur in Belgium, Schildow in Brandenburg, Bornholm and Berlin, a large mural will be painted based on a miniature template. It is therefore also possible to visit the artists at work, similar to what happens “outside” by chance. The small miniature that is the model for “Matchbox” was created by artist Oliver Zabel. Using old matchboxes, Zabel stages object collages whose playful scenes develop surprising changes of meaning in relation to their small, rare lithographs. The artists Daniela and Malte Nickau work together with Oliver on the NIZA concept, on large reproductions of the boxes, which also charmingly focuses on enlargements of small inaccuracies and creates a virtuoso painted blow-up of object art.

“Matchbox” also shows miniatures that have already been realized in public space as part of a series.
