Entertaining the internet
The German art studio “two lives Einklang” in Hannover was established by Silke Klein and the late Hans Kreich. Besides many other workshops, expositions, and so on, they organized a great art contest in 2003, titled “Hier brummt’s…” (Here it buzzes), which was entirely centered around cockchafers. They prepared almost 2000 clay tiles in cockchafer form and participants could work with these using various techniques. This resulted in an impressive display of ceramic cockchafers that stretched out over 14 square meters.
The art studio still produces and sells blank ceramic cockchafers, that can be painted or otherwise artistically processed. I wrote about these in an earlier blog post.
This was the final blog post in the COCKCHAFER 1.5 WEEK series. I hope you liked it.
