Life forms
I live and work mainly in Buchholz, in Nordheide near Hamburg. I live there in a former church together with other artists, friends of mine. In the year 2005 we began to reconstruct the church building, making out of it the Kunsttempel Buchholz and opening its doors to the public. This art venue became not only a way of life for us, it also serves artists of all genres and fields that come to work here, as we can only gain from each other. It offers space for exhibitions, concerts, theater, intermediate productions, happenings, readings and performance. The informal atmosphere between the artists and the public and the familiar communication and exchange coming along with that is one of the things that make the Kunsttempel Buchholz a special place.
