Untitled (Ix-Xemx) – recap

2016/10/12 by Bettina

It all started with a story: “All day long the little boy worked hard in field and barn and shed; but every day, when the work was done, there came an hour which was all his own…” In the story (dated 1903) I am referring to, a poor boy sees Golden Windows every day from his room, and imagines the rich people living behind these glistening windows… The announcement for the FRAGMENTA-event UNTITLED (Ix-Xemx) was clear and ominous at the […]

Leave me alone I am an OUTSIDE DEVELOPMENT ZONE hiding – April 24th

2016/04/21 by Bettina

FRAGMENTA is holding a 1-day-event with 2 guided tours around “Outside Development Zones” with German artist Erik Göngrich. You might ask: Outside of what?

HORTUS CONCLUSUS – recap

2016/04/15 by Bettina

Hortus conclusus literally means “enclosed garden” and is both an emblematic attribute of the Virgin Mary in Medieval and Renaissance poetry and art, as well as a genre of actual garden. For the 1-day-event of the same name, FRAGMENTA presented […]
