We are pleased to invite you to the vernissage of the exhibition »geronnen« by Danni Schwaag as part of the exhibition programme "Idar-Oberstein schmückt sich".

On Thursday, 17 October 2024, 6:30 pm at Villa Bengel and via livestream on Jakob Bengel's Instagram channel, with a welcoming address by Peter Wenzel and an introduction by Theo Smeets.

"I entered the 3rd floor 3rd room DG004. Jakob Bengel industrial monument. Galalithgalalalalalalaland of milk and honey. Coagulated coloured milk in the form of rods, tubes, slabs - hundreds of them! I visit the galalith chamber every day and can't stop marvelling. To come to terms with this abundance, I have to play, play with the material.

The attraction lies in making, in trying things out, in experimenting with form, colour and the properties of the material. How challenging it is to develop new works from these possibilities...but slowly the idea coagulates into form."

Danni Schwaag is showing older works alongside new ones created during her Artist in Residence stay in August and September 2024.

The exhibition will be on display at Villa Bengel from 18 October 2024 to 10 January 2025.

Adress: Villa Bengel, Wilhelmstraße 44, 55743 Idar-Oberstein
Open: Tuesday-Sunday 10am-5pm
