Opening: 23.03.2017 Exhibition: 24.03.-13.05.2017

--

This exhibition is a project between Martha Jungwirth and Albert Oehlen. As I know Albert now quite for a long time, I asked him if he wants to do an exhibition with Martha Jungwirth. Aware that he honours Martha’s work a lot. Albert Oehlen was choosing the works of Martha what you see in the exhibition.
