another great story. another perfect experience. and a start – much better than expected. [ THANK YOU – everybody! ] I was asked for the opening speech of my vernissage in the gold smith in Heidelberg’s Old Town. by a non-German friend. so I translated it for everybody interested…
dear friends, I am very happy about you being here today.
and would like to thank those, who made this possible. without you, my family and friends, we wouldn’t be standing here today.
today, for another first step – of which there are many in my life currently. today we are here – in this historic building – to live stories. [ marginalia: in German language, the word for ‘history’ and ‘story’ is the same = ‘Geschichte’. ]
especially last year, I experienced how important and instructive stories – and a glimpse behind the obvious façade – actually are. and that we do exactly this hardly ever: take the time to look under the surface and risk adventures.
today, we invite you to an adventure. to a journey. (– pretty risk-less.) where to? – well, that differs individually.
we show you the combination of various materials in Rolf’s work, several techniques in mine. we conquer the meaning of color together, fascinated by the power of structure and shapes. in natural chaos. in order.
have fun with our in- & expressions. and be crazy enough to share yours with us. thank you.
