I curate exhibition, write about art and advise on cultural
adventures.
Since November 2012, I am the director of MEWO Kunsthalle
as well as of Antoniter-
and Strigel-Museum
in the Bavarian town of Memmingen.
At MEWO Kunsthalle, I curate up to 10 exhibitions per year:
In addition to low-threshold offerings, which allow for a
first contact with art and culture, these are exhibitions of
established, historic positions, presentations from the
collection, one-person shows of contemporary artists as well
as themed exhibitions looking at current issues in art and
society. I place a strong emphasis on educational
programmes, opening the realm of art for new audiences.
In 2019, I devised a new permanent exhibition for the Strigel-Museum, which revolved around the acquisition of the painting Johannes Cuspinian and his family (1520) by Bernhard Strigel. Currently, I am working on the relaunch of the Antoniter-Museum, which will open in spring 2022.
The Blog Lappalien
is an outlet for my musings on art and culture.
From 2004 until 2013, I was publisher of the art publishers
The Green Box, that I
had also co-founded.
The current exhibitions at MEWO Kunsthalle are Elmar Haardt: Land of Dreams' (5 February until 12 June 2022) and ,Josef Madlener: Heimat und Moderne' (5 March until 15 May 2022).
