NEWCOMER KWS Art Lounge

In 2015, the art exhibition space in the Biotechnikum was expanded: The NEWCOMER KWS Art Lounge is located at Einbeck’s center, surrounded by half-timbered houses, tradition and Lower Saxony's down-to-earth attitude.

In two rooms, the small gallery offers young upcoming artists the opportunity to gain or further develop exhibition experience. The exhibitions are not limited to classic painting but can comprise all possible art forms, also newly invented and reinvented ones: sculpture, photography, print graphics, visual media, light installations or performance art.

NEWCOMER is open for everything: beautiful, weird, face-to-face, inspiration or simply something new.

Opening hours

WE 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.
FR: 3 p.m. - 6 p.m
SA: 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Tiedexer Straße 20, 37574 Einbeck

A THING THAT MAKES A CASTLE – Sabine Müller

The barely noticed objects in our surroundings, the little everyday helpers - transformed into blue porcelain by the artist, not without humour - are the focus of her multimedia, site-specific installation.

OF HARMONY AND DISREPAIR
by Katharina Kühne

Katharina Kühne explores the structures of life, which she interprets painterly, installative and sculptural in her artistic work. Thus, in the rooms of NEWCOMER, she shows ceramic sculptures and works on paper in addition to painterly wall works.

The embroidered chiffons refer on the one hand to the domestic activity of sewing and on the other to a tradition that is passed down from generation to generation but is culturally ignored and often remains hidden. In the exhibition at NEWCOMER, the chiffons not only celebrate the women's craft, but also refer to the architecture of the gallery, entering into a dialog with it.

“With her exhibition, the artist empathetically points out social grievances of women, who, despite the restrictions on their freedoms and rights, will not be discouraged and create their own space for personal expression," said Dr. Felix Büchting, spokesman for the KWS Executive Board, at the vernissage.

Opening of the SCREENPLAY exhibition by the Stumpf Group

"Screenplay" by Gruppe Stumpf transforms the NEWCOMER KWS Art Lounge into a multiverse

The artists have developed a concept especially for the NEWCOMER KWS Art Lounge that separates the interior and exterior spaces of the gallery, but also connects them again. Even the brief glimpses through the gallery panes arouse curiosity.

NEWCOMER becomes a multiverse and makes it possible for the first time to see an essential part of the exhibition with the moving image without having to enter the gallery.
