Last thursday IKOB was visiting the fantastic (mainly) artist run space called STORAGE MUSEUM in Düsseldorf. They have joined forces with IMAI and hosted with ICH SAGE DIE ZEIGE MIT DEN ZEICHEN IM ZEIGEN DER SAGE one of the most radical shows I have seen in a long time. Almost all works are out of deaf artist perspectives. A must see this season.

Yesterday, together with Wolfgang Nestler, we opened his storage in display at Haus Amstenrath in Eynatten (Belgium). The exhibition space is open to visitors by appointment. Under the title SCHLÄNGELNDES ECHO, Martin von Almen and Conni Ottinger provided musical accompaniment to the works, and later Paul Damiano and Katharina Richter danced in dialogue with Nestler’s pole sculptures. Thanks to all artists, musicans and dancers involved. #Wolfgangnestler #ikob #performance #music #Eastbelgium

Yesterday, we hosted Walter Schulz, who presented his book about Hari Hünerbein, his grand-grandmothers older brother, who left Eupen, with parts of her savings, lived in Cologne and only came back once to give the money plus interests back to his sister. Her family survived WW1 with that money. The book put the flashlight on those, who usually are just forgotten. Thanks to Brenda Guesnet for organising this event!!! #walterschulz #harihünerbein #ikob #martinschulz #workingclass #history

Wolfgang Nestler talks to BRF TV about his exhibition. #WolfgangNestler #BRF #Eupen #IKOB #IKOBMuseum #eastbelgium

Yesterday 130 curious art lovers attended the opening of Wolfgang Nestler's "Werdeformen" at IKOB museum in Eupen. It was a great experience seeing his work which sometimes date back to the 70s looking contemporary and still giving proof to the facto, that art doens't need an academic title to be understood.
