Katharina Megnet: Searching and finding...

As the saying goes: Seek and ye shall find... If only it were that simple. Some people search all their lives but never find what they are actually looking for. Perhaps this is what we call the artistic process - a perpetual search without ever arriving?

Katharina Megnet has searched tirelessly, always looking for new forms, means and media of expression. One could get the impression that the search was her real goal; she was fulfilled by always continuing on this path. The result: an immeasurably rich and diverse body of work, a selection of which is on display here at FORUM Merzhausen until November 24. The vernissage will take place on September 12 at 7 pm, admission is free. The exhibition can be viewed daily until 9 pm from outside through the foyer glazing.
