The second year grads took a trip to Leverkusen and visited the @museum_morsbroich! A big thanks to the museum’s curator Dr. Thekla Zell for giving an amazing tour on the history of the museum and for her insight on the inspiring exhibition, “against the sky. contre le ciel”, featuring the two artists Jef Verheyen and Johanna von Monkiewitsch!

The Alfred-Düsseldorf studio was open for Kunstpunkte!

This studio features a unique program between Alfred University in Alfred, New York, and Düsseldorf. Graduate students are given a space here to explore and develop their artistic methods, while preparing for their MFA theses. This program provides students with the opportunity to gain international perspectives on art making, as they shape their practices in both the United States and Germany. You will find a diverse range of artwork within this studio, featuring not only work from the graduate students, but also the works of some of their professors, like @stephemcmahon, @satron_paint and @patbrennanpics.

The second year grads traveled to Cologne to spend the morning with renowned artist Frauke Wilken, where they got to visit the Church of St. Ursula and Frauke’s studio to learn more about her work in person. They also went to Museum Ludwig to see many wonderful artworks, and traveled to the Cologne Cathedral to see an installation of stained glass artwork by Gerhard Richter. This is just one of the many opportunities that the Alfred-Düsseldorf program provides for meeting and connecting with artists in Germany! The grads are so lucky to spend two semesters of their program in Düsseldorf.
