Caspar and me. The present meets romance Monika Bertermann Kerstin Borchardt/Rainer Viltz Axel Heller Katharina Neuweg Bernhard Schrock Juli Schupa Ramona Seyfarth
Professional artists or artist groups residing in the Mecklenburg Lake District were invited to apply for this project with an exhibition concept of their work.
The occasion is the 250th birthday of the great Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich, who was born in Greifswald and whose maternal ancestors came from Neubrandenburg.
From 14 applications, the jury nominated Monika Bertermann, Kerstin Borchardt & Rainer Viltz, Axel Heller, Katharina Neuweg, Bernhard Schrock, Juli Schupa and Ramona Seyfarth. Their exploration of Caspar David Friedrich resulted in paintings, unique works on paper, photographs, objects as well as sound and spatial installations that focus today's attention on the great German painter, graphic artist and draughtsman.
