More than 250 illustrations, almost all in full color, provide a comprehensive overview of Henry Wolf's career: Also included are reproductions of art works that inspired his ideas and techniques.

Book of plants

Anne Geene

The 'Book of Plants' is a eulogy on plants in all their appearances, a continuation of an oeuvre that is an expression of the remarkable beauty of the unremarkable. Anne Geene's quest for specimens with various types of appearances and deformations gives the book a teratological dimension. In her work, the photograph itself is rarely the focus. Taken out of context, the pictures are often no more than a registration of an inconspicuous fact. This means that her art is about collection, about the image in relation to other images and the ability to creates new ones by merging and arranging them. Enjoy an expedition through all of the botanical micro- and macrocosms

[translation, James Gussen, Ian Pepper

Katharina Sieverding entwickelte für das Museum Schloss Moyland eine Ausstellung, die sich aus verschiedenen multimedialen Projektionen und fotografischen Arbeiten von 1968 bis 2013 zu einer umfassenden Installation zusammensetzt. Die Krönung der Ausstellung bildet die Arbeit 'DIE SONNE UM MITTERNACHT SCHAUEN', für die Katharina Sieverding von Mai 2010 bis Juni 2013 kontinuierlich etwa 100.000 visuelle Informationsdaten der NASA herunterlud und zu einem dynamischen Bild der Sonnenoberfläche künstlerisch verdichtete. Eine leuchtend blaue Kugel mit unaufhörlichen Lichtwechseln in Kratern und über Gebirgen auf der Oberfläche und umgeben von einer hell flammenden Aura durchschwebt körperhaft den Raum.0Exhibition: Museum Schloss Moyland, Bedburg-Hau, Germany (28.7.-24.11.2013).
