“Nutzflächen” [Productive Land]
16 Sep - 04 Nov 2012
For the third time, Marta Herford will be presenting works by artists whose lives are connected with the region known for short as OWL (Ostwestfalen-Lippe or East Westphalia-Lippe). By comparing and contrasting very different works, this group exhibition looks set to fuel stimulating dialogue.
