The nearly 1000m² wide venue can be expierienced with the exhibition catalogue or an audio-tour by the visitors themselfs. Most of the participants are personally there and would appriciate to talk about inspiring things about abstract and objective acrlic- and oil painting, etchings, drawings, photography, video- art and much more. Thus, for example, the artist-group Brasche displays a working radiator sculpture, the californian based artist David Normal displays his „Illuminations“, artworks made of endlighten plexiglas.
