Satisfy Me

Satisfy Me! The outcry the artists in this exhibition translated into art. The passionate art collector Heiner Wemhöner presents selected pieces from his private art collection from various artists, that all deal with the exposure of our naked bodies, to explore how we see and react to them. While the first part of the exhibition explores nudity in art, the second part goes deeper into nudity in the media, that seemingly robs us of the magic a naked body once held.

Kunstsaele, 3. Febuary until 31.March, Open: Wed-Sat 11h-18h, free entry
