Open studios in Saxony-Anhalt on September 20/21, 2025
Art needs space – for creation and for encounters. On this special weekend, Saxony-Anhalt opens its studio doors and becomes a living map of creative work. Where there is usually silence, rooms are filled with voices. Whether painting, photography, sculpture, graphics, ceramics or sound – each studio is a small world of its own: surprising, […]
Marie Mandalka
Mandalka’s garbage reliefs attract attention with their organic aesthetics and haptics. Memories of skin and anthropological traces unfold a fascinating effect. By using recycled, cut-up packaging waste that shimmers through under layers of latex in kilim structures, these works focus on themes such as the use of resources, political communication, interaction and effectiveness. Further information […]
New publications in the work database
The Berufsverband Bildender Künstler Sachsen-Anhalt e.V. (BBK) published new works in its “Werkdatenbank Bildende Kunst Sachsen-Anhalt” at the beginning of February 2025.

An open network meeting on the topic of “Art and Parenthood” will take place on February 3, 2025 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. We would like to think together about how to proceed with our concerns. At the workshop with MATERNAL FANTASIES in November 2024, some ideas were raised in the open final round that […]
Korvin Reich
Several levels come together in his “flying objects”: Force fields, maps, elements from mathematics and physics. The perception of the spiritual world materializes. Free, intuitively set forms are surprisingly combined with fixed processes. Reich’s hand drawings are often mistaken for prints of computer graphics – calling his own perception into question. Further information about the […]
Survey on artists’ estates completed
From mid-September to mid-November 2024, the BBK Saxony-Anhalt conducted a survey on artists’ estates. Visual artists and estate holders (institutions and private individuals) were invited to take part. The response was great. The Museum and Archive Association, the Saxony-Anhalt Art Foundation and other partners forwarded our appeal, articles about the project appeared in the press […]
Manuela Homm
Manuela Homm works with a wide variety of materials such as glass, ceramics, wood and concrete. Melting, casting and firing are her favorite processing techniques. She explores the inner life, the core of the material in detail and expresses it in her objects through form and light. Approximation usually occurs through a structure, the meeting […]
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”. This results in site-specific installations, performances and multimedia works consisting of texts, sounds and poetry or socio-cultural projects, such as the Bürgertheater Zeitz. Friedrich Hensen:
Study Center for Artists’ Legacies Saxony-Anhalt 2024-2026
The BBK Saxony-Anhalt has been observing the problems of dealing with artistic bequests and estates for many years. He is committed to keeping this topic in the political discourse and finding solutions. He will now examine whether a center for artists’ estates could be expedient. The state government also attaches great importance to this idea […]

ilka Leukefeld
Visually guided to the day before ‘becoming conscious’, we see wild creatures. a nature untouched by man with clear air, unsealed landscapes and waters without plastic particles. This place of idyllic thoughts harbors carefully guarded hopes like seeds that have become rare. The work is on display: “I/II There used to be a paradise (with […]
Katharina Stark
The “Sunset” group of works tells of the loss of lightness, of contaminated paradises and unsuccessful displacement. Destruction is immanent in the newly created – decay permeates the material. Kitschy elements are reminiscent of untroubled dreams of times gone by.
Katharina Günther
For me as a sculptor, the body/body as an emotional, physical and metaphysical space of experience is a central theme. How do we experience our body? Our skin provides us with protection, demarcation and at the same time an exchange with our surroundings. We are touchable and vulnerable. I work with wax. The material has […]
Andrea Flemming
Light, space and perception are the themes with which Andrea Flemming works. Her art is multidisciplinary, encompassing photography, sculpture, installation and site-specific interventions. Andrea Flemming is interested in the levels of spatial perception that are linked to our sensations and experiences. She questions these conditions and structures and tries to develop them anew in a […]
