On 23 May 2025, I began preparations for my extensive neo-archeological project
in Markt Hohenburg/Upper Palatinate/Germany.
I gained access to four vacant houses on the market square
and carried out an initial inspection of the finds.
Two of these buildings can be seen on the painted postcard from 1914
and have been marked by me: Building no. 31 in light blue and building no. 10 in light green.
What I found there are the two extremes that I encounter again and again:
Poetic scenarios such as in the attic of house no. 10
and a desolate jumble of junk such as in house no. 31.
But both situations are fascinatingly productive.
In February 2025 this ensemble of findings from my rescue-activities with the focus on roadside-garbage in the village of Benaulim in Goa/India was acquired by the collection of fine art Landolt/Switzerland.
Until September 30, 2024 the ARTe Wiesbaden has a continuation
because the analog exhibition is followed by a digital exhibition.
The access is via the qr-code above.
While wandering through this exhibition
one can click at the artworks and they will be enlarged for more precise inspection.
In my case one can also click an interview I have given about my art-work –
but it is all in German.
During the art fair "ARTe Wiesbaden" from 13th to 15th of August 2024
the NGO "Paul Klinger Künstlersozialwerk" runs an image-campaign.
I participate in this campaign.
On this occasion a well designed catalogue will be published
presenting my work this way.
In September 2024 during the art-fair "ARTe Wiesbaden"
some of my works will be featured in an online exhibition
that promotes the very meritorious mission
of Paul Klinger Künstlersozialwerk.
I feel very honored.
Since April 2024 one of my works is
shown
in Mr. Baker's Coffeehouse at Steinstrasse 12, Munich/Haidhausen.
Thanks from the heart to the owner Dorothea Sigel!
More works will follow,
as soon as there is more space on the walls of this enchanting place.
In March 2024 the work created inGoa/India in collaboration
with the Wuppertal based painter Martina Kaufmann
was presented in the Easter Calendar of Paul Klinger Künstlersozialwerk.
In March 2024 the very Bavarian magazine
MUH
celebrated my work with a six-page feature story.
In January 2024 during a stay in
Goa/India
I carried out a spontaneous saving in an abandoned portugese villa from colonial times
near the town of Margao.
The compaction of the findings led to a first cooperation
with the very inspiring painter MARTINA KAUFMANN from Wuppertal/Germany.
She created the red background made of holy hinduistic Kumkum-powder.
A very promising cooperation that we will carry forward on a much higher level.
In October 2023 I was invited to contribute with one of
my steles
to the Halloween installation
of the fantastic, surreal, playful, political and very pleasant ATELIER M&M in Munich.
I followed this invitation with great pleasure.
In October 2023 this review regardig the exhibition
HOMMAGE AN INGEBORG BACHMANN at ART ACTIVE GALLERY, Passau/Germany
to which I contributed my impressive ensemble TOTENBRETT
was published in the local newspaper.
In July 2023 just by chance I came across the fact
that in the prestigious newspapar SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG
the author of an ironic article about Bavarian slang
mentioned my exhibition MISSION GRAFFL
because the word "Graffl" in Bavaria means "old and useless things".
In March 2023 the very important magazine
AVISO
published by the Bavarian Stateministry of Sience and Arts
appreciates my work with a great feature-story.
This magazine as well as earlier editions can be read as e-paper
under the following link:

In May 2023 the catalogue featuring my exhibition MISSION GRAFFL

In July 2022 the catalogue documenting Lee Mingweis exhibition LI, GIFTS & RITUALS
that was shown during summer 2021 at VILLA STUCK, Munich was published.
It shows me and MITNAHMEDINGE,

I contributed as guest to the project THE LIVING ROOM.
In July 2022 I welcomed the opportunity
to express myself through the completely unfamiliar medium of action paintig.
It all happened during the seminar

by the very inspiring artist Camilla Korte at Eressos/Lesvos/Greece.
In June 2022 I received a grant from the Government of Upper Bavaria
to put my project MISSION GRAFFL into action.
In February and March 2022 I was invited
as the first Artist in Residence
at the creative community THE ZEN HOUSE in Tulum/Mexico.
In January 2022 I had my first image- and information-brochure printed.
An important statement as well as an important tool
to promote my work.
In September 2021 I applied for the Luxembourg Art Price 2021.
I did not win one of the three highly endowed main awards
but received this certificate of appreciation ...
... whatever it may be good for.
In August 2021 I was invited
to contribute to LEE MINGWEI'S projekt THE LIVING ROOM at VILLA STUCK, Munich

which I named MITNAHMEDINGE.
In July 2021 a one hour long radio-interview with me
about my neo-archeological savings was broadcasted.
In July 2021 the poster promoting the exhibition
THE ROUGH AND THE BEAUTY at GALLERY AT HARA, Scala Eresou/Lesvos/Greece
to which I contributed several works
featured two of my steles that I had errected one year earlier at Zichliontas Beach.
In January 2021 the art-hotel CASA LUNA, Tulsayab/Mexico
acquired my majestic stele WIRES I had produced there for its sculpture-park.
On September 2020 I was invited to show three small arrangements
of my neo-archeological savings
during the group-exhibition WAS MENSCHEN BERÜHRT"
in the lobby of the Bavarian Stateminsistry of Social Affairs.
My first ever appearance as an object-artist.
