Also seen in April 2025: The #Museum for #EastAsianArt in #Cologne hosts a small exhibition called "The Line", dedicated to calligraphic principles in #KoreanArt. It highlights how #writing and #brushwork serve as unifying aesthetic principles across media, from painting to ceramics and bronzes, tracing a continuity from the #Goryeo period to #ContemporaryArt. Here's a brief summary of that visit:

In April 2025, I visited the exhibition "Ink Roamings" by the Chinese ink artist Jianfeng Pan at the #Museum #EastAsianArt in #Cologne. The exhibition presented around 60 works on paper produced over the past decade, ranging from monumental #hangingscrolls to small album formats and serial works. Here's a summary of what I have seen and learned from the exhibition:

I was also lucky to visit the exhibition 'From Line to Landscape' at the #Museum of #EastAsianArt in #Cologne in December 2024. The show focused on the work of Tanaka Ryōhei (1933–2019) and offered a rare opportunity to see a comprehensive selection of his etchings spanning more than five decades. Here's a post summarizing what I have seen and taken home from the exhibition:

In October 2024 I was lucky to visit the exhibition "Expeditions – travelogues and photographs by the #museum founders 1897–1899" at the Museum of #EastAsianArt in #Cologne. It tells the fascinating story of Adolf and Frieda Fischer, whose travels to #Japan and #Taiwan laid the foundation for the museum. Here's a brief recap of that visit:

Martin Parr (1952–2025) profoundly changed #DocumentaryPhotography with his bold use of color, flash, and focus on everyday life. His work challenged traditional norms, provoking debate while influencing generations of photographers. I was shocked when I heard of his passing in December 2025. I put together some personal reflections on his legacy:

Parallel to the "From Dawn Till Dusk" exhibition at the #Kunstmuseum #Bonn, a retrospective of Gregory Crewdson's work was on display (and still is until February 22, 2026. Known for his cinematic, staged photographs that explore suburban American life, I was fascinated by the meticulous detail and cinematic expression in his work. I summarized some highlights on this post:
