Esther Kinsky: RAUHNÄCHTE

In the organizer's words:

Colors meet words, words meet colors: Based on paintings by the artist Nadine Schemmann, the poet Esther Kinsky has written 17 poems entitled "Überton": lyrical echoes of the artist's color and form impulses. The result is the artist's book "RAUHNÄCHTE", from which Esther Kinsky will read.

In the subsequent discussion with gallery owner Norbert Arns, the artists will share insights into their collaboration and the development of "RAUHNÄCHTE".

"Rauhnächte" are the nights "between the years", which, according to legend, inspire particularly intense perceptions and dream images at the transition of the years - a lyrical dialog between word and image.
