One shortcoming of the new site is the extensive lack of artist profiles in the “Artist database” menu item(www.bbk-sachsenanhalt.de/kuenstlerinnen). All BBK […]

Friedrich Hensen

Friedrich Hensen works intermedially. He works in social, artistic and non-material spaces, which he summarizes with the socio-philosophical term “traversing the spheres”. This results in site-specific installations, performances and multimedia works consisting of texts, sounds and poetry or socio-cultural projects, such as the Bürgertheater Zeitz. Friedrich Hensen:
