BBK workshop “Artist profiles on the BBK homepage” on October 22 and 29, 2024

One shortcoming of the new site is the extensive lack of artist profiles in the “Artist database” menu item(www.bbk-sachsenanhalt.de/kuenstlerinnen). All BBK […]

Friedrich Hensen

Friedrich Hensen works intermedially. He works in social, artistic and non-material spaces, which he summarizes with the socio-philosophical term “traversing the spheres”.

Workshop “Touring Artists” in Berlin on April 29
