Juliane Naumann
“Feelin’ Medusa” In the June edition of the BBKarium showcase, Dessau photographer Juliane Naumann translates an ancient myth into the present. In her photo series “Feelin’ Medusa”, she looks behind the façade of the snake-headed monster whose gaze could petrify. In intense portraits, she exposes power, fragility, exclusion and self-determination – and holds up a […]
Yvonne Standke-Schramm
“Betrogenes Glück” invites you on an allegorical journey about hopes and disappointments. The title refers to a deceptive happiness – a promise that does not stand up to reality. How can development succeed in a world in which the shimmering dreams of childhood are overtaken by the demands of adulthood? Freedom and lightness seem like […]

“INTERIOR VIEWS” In April, the BBKarium Dessau is all about our inner life.

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 […]
Astrid Salewski
In the March edition of the BBKarium’s showcase exhibition, Dessau artist Astrid Salewski invites you to explore the sometimes disturbing beauty of quiet moments with her small selection of images.

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 […]

Fabian Jochen Kanzler
In his artistic work, Fabian Jochen Kanzler unfolds a metaphysical examination of the facets of human perception and the variations of its psyche.

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

Sabine Brauns
In my exhibition “13“, I am showing works that reflect on the articles of the UN Convention on Human Rights of 1948 and the disregard for them. More precisely, the focus is on Articles 1 and 3. The former recognizes the inviolability of every human being’s dignity. It should be the foundation for ethical behavior […]
Frieda Knie
I began my artistic journey with woodcuts. In 2013, I approached a completely new and graphic form of expression. Again, I worked with the diverse organic forms of nature: leaf, tree, blossom, landscape. Now the focus is on the hidden forms, folds, cracks and fractures, the rough edges that become visible through the power of […]

Insights from the 2022/23 school year
Artistic director: Mareen Alburg-DunckerFörderschule “Astrid Lindgren” in Halle SEA MOSAIC: Year 8 pupils created a sea mosaic, with the theme of marine life being illuminated from all sides.

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 […]
Till Neuenfeldt
“Perspectives 2024 Ha_Neu Dream of togetherness” People, machines, fiction and laughter await you in March.

Project practice
In order to shed some light on the field of concrete collaboration, qualitative interviews were conducted with several school representatives and artists at the end of the study. The interviewees selected the questions relevant to them from a given list of questions and answered them in free speech. Interviews with school representatives Elvira Gorisch and […]
Project cooperations
Only very limited reliable statements can be derived from the available database on the topic of establishing and promoting long-term collaborations. One of the reasons for this is that it is not possible to clarify the extent to which schools or artists have reapplied with further individual project ideas following an initial collaboration, but were […]
Project history
Nowadays, everyone is talking about cultural education and it is impossible to imagine inclusion, better educational opportunities and equal participation in the school context without it. However, few people are aware that the state of Saxony-Anhalt has been continuously supporting this area of education and work in cooperation with the Berufsverband Bildender Künstler (BBK) Sachsen-Anhalt […]
Data basis
This research covers a total of 803 individual projects by 140 artists at 252 schools between 1996 and 2015.

Insights from the 2021/22 school year
Artistic director: Mareen Alburg-DunckerSpecial school “Astrid Lindgren” in Halle The joy of seeing the 6th grade again was great and motivation was high. Our theme this year was to create our own little oasis. The first question was – what is (my) oasis? And then we figured it out – they are feel-good places or […]
Course work database 2024

Publications September 2021
In September 2021, the multi-year pilot project Werk-Datenbank Bildende Kunst Sachsen-Anhalt came to a successful conclusion with the publication of 3 further directories:
Publications 2020

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.
Benjamin Kerwien
Works by Benjamin Kerwien can be seen at the BBKarium Dessau until February 29. He is showing new works: Insect portraits with slightly iconographic features on copper, gold leaf and cardboard, oriented towards reality and without spatial reference. When greatly enlarged, the insects become impressive works of art thanks to the power of color and […]
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 […]
Ingrid Müller-Kuberski
Coming from textiles, I have tried out many different materials and techniques over the years. At the moment there are often photographs at the beginning of a work, which – processed on the computer and printed on aluminum dibond – in the end bear no resemblance to the original motif, especially in terms of content. […]
Diana Höding
The main theme and artistic approach of my work is the ambivalence of life in the field of tension of our contradictory world. In my works of painting and object art, I try to capture today’s complex, fast-moving world of unmanageable scraps of information. Mixed media techniques come very close to this perception. They combine […]
Grit Berkner
People are at the center of my work. I am particularly interested in the portrait. The smaller details that can change a lot are particularly important to me, such as the tilt of the head, the alignment of the eyes or a certain incidence of light. However, the large form as a whole must not […]
Alica Khaet
Alica Khaet is a painter, graphic artist, animator and performer of Russian-Israeli origin. Born in 1988 in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, USSR, she lived and studied in Moscow, Jerusalem and Prague.

Michal Fuchs
Shavuot is the Zionist-Jewish harvest festival. Both festivals have similar symbols and traditions, including the wheat and circle symbols. Pictures: Above: Harvest festival in Kaisitz, probably. 1929. Below: Shavuot, Alonim, Israel 1946. The pewter figures are part of a new series. Instead of world war soldiers, they depict people who are apparently working the land. […]
Jenny Rempel
The starting point of the work was the bride of the writer Novalis, Sophie von Kühn. The young child bride and the drama of her early death had a decisive influence on Novalis’ life and work. The unequal connection that Novalis entered into with her seemed to him like a reunion, a complete transformation of […]
Helga Borisch
A not quite so funny – but real – “summer night’s dream”. The underlying watercolor is in the collection for “Humor and Satire” (Gabrovo / Bulgaria). Borisch’s drawings and watercolors are often created without a plan – intuitively with subliminal impressions of the day. This version of the picture was repeated in the large painting. […]
Ina Jaenicke
“blue man ” and “Valid/a” were created in 2020 during the “Terra Arte” ceramics symposium at the Hundisburg technical brickworks (Börde). The attraction for me was the challenge of working in large format with the red brick clay available there, as I usually work with porcelain in a small, medium format. Even in the large […]
Zhana Veselinova Nedelcheva
Nature with its countless color nuances and shapes inspires me in my art. My sculptures often consist of solid and strong forms. I work boldly with glazes, applying them in different layers to achieve unforeseen results. The firing temperature also creates new surprises in my works. This element of surprise is a driving force in […]
Undine J. E. Hannemann
Undine J. E. Hannemann lives and works in the north of Halle (Saale). The region is known for its porphyry landscape. The nature reserve and the animals that live there are an inspiration for the painter. Through her closeness to nature, the artist has developed a deep fascination for the behavior and habits of the […]
Daniel Priese
Drawing on paper or shaping stones by removing material are both final, non-reversible processes. Every stroke, every blow remains a part of the final appearance. This is what makes them honest and so they become direct statements. Further information about the artist: www.steinsculptur.de Daniel Priese:Torso reclining, 2022, marble, taille direct, 21 x 56 x 35 […]
Carola Helbing-Erben
That all sounds good. The color is vibration and the rhythm of the surfaces. My heartbeat and pulse when I paint are vibrations. There is a bundling towards the center that is wide and open like the sky, like a hope Further information about the artist: http://carola-helbing-erben.de/ Carola Helbing-Erben:“Requiem” or “The Greater Hope”, acrylic painting, […]
Jörg Riemke
In my artistic work, I concentrate on a single simple theme: the woman – in painting, in marble and also in bronze. Further information about the artist: http://riemkeskulptur.blogspot.com Jörg Riemke:Three women on the beach, acrylic on canvas, 140 x 120 cm, 2022 // Standing – Non finito, marble, height 42 cm, 2016
Sabine Kunz
My woodcuts are three-dimensional objects and prints at the same time. In the notch section, I first limit the large shapes. Worked with a chisel and mallet, the surface of the wooden stick becomes a relief. Only a few prints are made on Japanese paper with colorful, painterly rolling. The ink remains on the printing […]
Judith Runge
Bringing something to light from unknown depths… There are hypothetical species from an immeasurable habitat – which forms the basis of our own human existence. Possible mutations of living creatures as a result of our environmental impact, environmental pollution – which astonish, alienate, worry and threaten us? By-catch. Further information about the artist: www.judith-runge.de Judith […]
Nikos Probst
Nikos Probst’s artistic work and research focuses on the reflection and examination of an increasingly technologically diversifying and automating world. In his work “TRAINED SCULPTOR”, he explores the influence of artificial intelligence in sculptural form-finding processes. To do this, he used a so-called Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN for short. He trained this with 3D […]
Pauline Ullrich
Change of viewThe path over the mountain to the next village is called “zur Sonne”. Solidified clay – dust underfoot – glistening brightness as far as the willow trees in the valley. Shards picked up from the path are later pressed into the wall of the resulting figure. Together with traces of work, lines and […]
Karl Oppermann
The hound of Dakar: “Spirit threatened – breathlessly pursued – hunted to the grave.” Karl Oppermann was born in Wernigerode in 1930. The former professor of free painting at the Berlin University of the Arts has been awarded the Saxony-Anhalt Badge of Honor and the Federal Cross of Merit on Ribbon and has studios in […]
Simon Kiessler
Every artist has their own strategy for getting into a state of creative work. My aim is to put other artists in this position. That’s why I use their creative human resources for myself. I also want to shorten the path to creative work and optimize processes. Further information about the artist: simon-kiessler.de Simon Kießler:DIZZY […]
Franz Rentsch
The window is a surface that creates a distance to what is seen. I can’t reach through the window and touch, turn and grasp the shrub. The viewers also stand in front of the painting. They call up viewing habits, interpret or interpret, but they cannot reach into the screen. You are looking into an […]
Rainer Rausch
Wonderful – to create your own world! I succeeded in doing this in art – painting and graphics. My experience in the graphic arts enables me to produce artistic works in the art of printing (lithography, intaglio and woodcut) as well as in painting.
