BBKarium Hall
The BBKarium is an exhibition format of the Berufsverband Bildender Künstler Sachsen-Anhalt e.V.. Since April 2021, artists from the association have been exhibited in the shop window of the office on a monthly basis. The exhibitions are curated by one or two members of the association each year. They make a selection of artists for the following year. The exhibitions can be viewed around the clock! From April 2024, exhibitions will only be presented on a bi-monthly basis. Since November 2023, a BBKarium has also been established in Dessau, which aims to show works by artists from the association on a monthly basis, following the example of the Halle showcase.
The BBK Saxony-Anhalt represents the interests of around 350 professional artists from various areas of the visual arts. What they all have in common is that they not only want to make their art, but also show it: Artistic work also involves a dialog between the resulting work and an audience.
The BBKarium Halle is located at Große Klausstraße 6 in 06108 Halle (Saale).
The series is supported by the state of Saxony-Anhalt and the city of Halle (Saale).

Change of viewThe path over the mountain to the next village is called “zur Sonne”. Solidified clay – dust underfoot – glistening brightness as far as the willow trees in the valley. Shards picked up from the path are later pressed into the wall of the resulting figure. Together with traces of work, lines and […]
Karl Oppermann
The hound of Dakar: “Spirit threatened – breathlessly pursued – hunted to the grave.” Karl Oppermann was born in Wernigerode in 1930. The former professor of free painting at the Berlin University of the Arts has been awarded the Saxony-Anhalt Badge of Honor and the Federal Cross of Merit on Ribbon and has studios in […]
Simon Kiessler
Every artist has their own strategy for getting into a state of creative work. My aim is to put other artists in this position. That’s why I use their creative human resources for myself. I also want to shorten the path to creative work and optimize processes. Further information about the artist: simon-kiessler.de Simon Kießler:DIZZY […]

The window is a surface that creates a distance to what is seen. I can’t reach through the window and touch, turn and grasp the shrub. The viewers also stand in front of the painting. They call up viewing habits, interpret or interpret, but they cannot reach into the screen. You are looking into an […]
Rainer Rausch
Wonderful – to create your own world! I succeeded in doing this in art – painting and graphics. My experience in the graphic arts enables me to produce artistic works in the art of printing (lithography, intaglio and woodcut) as well as in painting. The basis for this is the figurative representation in a real […]
Franca Bartholomäi
The absurd creates a breach in consciousness. The yawning abyss can create dizziness, but also a feeling of depth and freedom. I never find my motifs by thinking them up. They are simply there. It’s a bit like dreaming: some things can be explained, but most things remain a mystery. I have been making woodcuts […]
Magdalena Cichon
“This is a fundamental principle of Magdalena Cichon’s creative method: she offers neither herself nor the viewer any definitive formulations. New constellations between color, form and structure are constantly emerging. As viewers, we quickly become aware that we have no claim to certain recognition or a clear interpretation. Her strategy is based on the potential […]

A system has been created in which the geometric objects in the room form lines and vice versa. Reference is made to lines that have not been voluntarily chosen and believed in, but have been created from outside. The viewer must accept them as they are and ultimately allow themselves to be indirectly influenced by […]
Susanne Henny Kolp
Could our relationship with nature best be compared to a long-distance relationship? We idealize from a distance, arrange encounters and compare them with our expectations. The reality of life is alienated, a state that is not suitable as a permanent solution. In her painterly work, Susanne Henny Kolp explores various strategies for dealing with the […]
Kornelia Thümmel
The impetus for the creation of the sculptural group is the poem “Drohung” by Gottfried Benn. The initially seemingly harmonious scene is dissolved at the moment when the creatures become aware of their lack of wholeness. It is a sculptural shaping of a state of incongruity in which a threat quietly takes effect. Threat But […]

Sometimes something goes unnoticed.the message is perhaps too shy, doesn’t knock loud enough.or it cannot find a dock where it can dock,is thrown back, misses the target.when i looked up into the sky last spring,he opened up purely in front of me. due to the limitedair traffic hardly crossed a contrailthe firmament.

The virtual gallery art-vr.de invites you to take a tour. Have fun watching. The art-vr project was funded as part of “Kultur ans Netz”. The interactive […]
Andrea Flemming
Light, space and perception are the themes with which Andrea Flemming works. Her art is multidisciplinary, encompassing photography, sculpture, installation and site-specific interventions. Andrea Flemming is interested in the levels of spatial perception that are linked to our sensations and experiences. She questions these conditions and structures and tries to develop them anew in a […]
Sarah Bartmann
In July, Sarah Bartmann will conclude the series of presentations she has curated at the BBKarium with an installation of her own works. In the BBKarium shop window, you can find out how she approaches her artistic work and measure the results against this: “Chance usually determines the beginning of my work. This is a […]
Simon Horn

The artist from Halle describes how his works were created: “During a city walk, I laid out a route through the city of Halle and chose three stations. The […]
Isabella Sissis
As the second exhibitor in our BBKarium 2021 series, Isabella Sissis is showing a group of porcelain and ceramics, which was created, among other things, as part of the 2020 “Kultur ans Netz” work grant from the state of Saxony-Anhalt. The tiger, the child, the apple, the halo and the Madonna. What was she like, […]
Michela Benedan

The artist Michela Benedan is showing works made of paperclay, which were created last year as part of a work scholarship funded by the @Kunststiftung Sachsen-Anhalt in cooperation with the Bergesche Monastery Foundation. Benedan describes her approach as follows: “The work […]
