Outdoor – The Schlumper Gallery
In a group exhibition titled “Outdoor”, the Schlumper Gallery presents various artistic attitudes through painting, sketches, prints, photography, and objects which deal thematically with the “Outdoors” – landscapes in the city, as well as in nature. In addition to artists from the Schlumper cooperative altelier, a number of other Hamburg artists are represented this time in an inclusive exhibition. Also, the Schlumper Gallery here cooperates for the first time with the “Kunstwerkstatt 18” from the forensic therapy center in Ochsenzoll.
The artist Benjamin Binder was asked, “Why are landscapes so beautiful?” He answered:
“I like the Harz mountains so much, because they are mountains, and I like mountains so much, because they rise in the direction of Heaven, upwards and away, and that’s why the heavens interest me, because I used to be in the spiritual world and have so much to do with guardian angels, and the landscape in the Harz is so beautiful, because it goes up and down, and that for me is the way it is in paradise …”
Participants in the exhibition at the Schlumper Gallery:
