poor? … pour les livres! Books are an endangered species. Exhibition on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of KOÏNZI-DANCE e.V.

Es gibt kein Kunstwerk, das nicht seine Fortsetzung oder seinen Ursprung in anderen Künsten hat. (Gilles Deleuze 1986) / There is no work of art that does not have its continuation or origin in other arts. (Gilles Deleuze 1986)

A special place for a special event: in Poolhaus Blankenese in Hamburg, the 25th anniversary of KOÏNZI-DANCE e.V. is celebrated with a show. Founder and dedicated chairwoman Dr. Nele Lipp curates an interdisciplinary show to which 19 artists are invited to show their works on the theme “Books as an endangered species”. A festive program frames the exhibition: a discussion with three accomplished speakers, the premiere of the film “Bibliothèque sac à dos” by Dr. Nele Lipp and performances by actors: inside the film deal with printed works of various genres. Another highlight will be the auction, during the finissage, of the artistic backpack libraries created for the film by artist Burkhard Scheller.
