First Day of the Art Project in the Senior Residence Gemünd
Colouring the memories
Art project in a senior’s residence: I paint the outlines of the favourite photos of the seniors and they colour them to keep their memories alive. I had help with pupils from a school in Schleiden

Middle Age Festival at the Duck Market – Tribute to the female artists
This is my installation in Bad Münstereifel as a tribute to the mostly nameless female artists of the Middle Age
The art of Chris Billington arrived – packed as art
I didn’t have the heart to open these parcels, Chris Billington sent me for his show “Black Kites – Eifelgold” in my studio. These parcels are art. I think I will exhibit the parcels and call the one “Black Kites” and the other “Eifelgold”

My handpainted Opel Omega reappeared
Perhaps it was one of the most spectacular painted cars ever made. And it was used, daily and often, until the machinery refused to work any longer. The attention of everybody on the street laid always on me, when I travelled in it. The last time I saw it, it was in 2007, when it was standing on a junkyard in Pulheim near Cologne. I had sold it to a car dealer who told me he would love it, and I thought it would be safe. After that I lost trace of it and I was sure it went for scrap.
Today, in January 2011, I get a mail, that the car still exist, is repaired and running. I’m waiting for new pictures, but here are some from 2007.

[Not a valid template]My open studio at the Duck Market in Bad Muenstereifel will be shut down
Until July 1st I have to give up my studio in Bad Muenstereifel. I’m very sad about it.
More than 18 months I could go with my art directly to the people and get in contact with them. It was a wonderful, precious time. But like every art project it has to end. I see it as a Social Scilpture, where all customers, friends and neighbours were part of a huge, lively Lifeenvironment. I want to thank everybody who gave me the present of his visit.
I want to wish lots of luck to Gabriele Kutz, who will continue working in this room. In the future you will find me in the Kulturschock in Schleiden
Sound installation “Sagenhaft” by Dorothée Hahne on the Christmas market in Bad Münstereifel
In front of my studio in Bad Münstereifel is the christmas market. I asked the wellknown composer for New Music, Dorothée Hahne, to make a sound environment to add a little bit of modern art to the christmas glitter. Everything, that is said at my shopwindow is recorded and played back a little later. The word goes away, it vanishes, but the energy stays and is vital. Many thanks to Dorothée, the first reactions were excited.
And here Dorothée Hahne says it in her own words on her website, it’s worth a look
