Heat Exchange 2 is on its way to Erfurt, Germany and the wonderful Galerie Waidspeicher in the Kulturhof Krönbacken is our next destination.
Elizabeth and I invited six new artists to join the exhibition there.
The two previous exhibition venues, Craft in the Bay in Cardiff and St Andrews Museum in Fife had very limited wall and display space. TheKulturhof Krönbacken is a large gallery and we thought it an appropriate and excellent opportunity to show six artists from the groupin Erfurt to mark our working together from 2004 at the Künstlerwerkstätten.
The new artists, participating in Erfurt, are
Arnold Bauer (Germany)
Annemarie Timmer (Netherlands)
Eva Kučerová-Landsbergrová (Czech Republic)
Martin Schulze (Germany)
Rolf Lindner (Germany)
Uta Feiler (Germany)
