Exhibitions
-
Neubau Foyer: Nat Wilms
Light objects - Pavillon: Silke Kästner & Gelisa George
For the Open Studios, the two artists will spend several days together at Künstlerhof Frohnau, developing a walk-in installation for the pavilion through their exchange. Both work intuitively with colour and gesture. While Silke Kästner explores the mobility of abstract painting and the image beyond fixed composition, Gelisa George moves between fine art, fashion, and design. Raised in the United States, she has lived and worked in Dakar, Senegal, for the past eight years. Silke Kästner is an artist based at Künstlerhof Frohnau who expands her painting through collaborative actions and performative concepts.
