I am delighted to have won first prize and been commissioned to create a public artwork for the outdoor grounds of the new Federal University in Rostock!

My proposal, ‘Seven Hands of Equal Value’, consists of seven stone sculptures of giving and receiving hands for the park of this new university for customs. The hands will be carried out by stone sculptors in Germany, Bulgaria, Italy, Zimbabwe, Vietnam, China and the USA. All will have the same budget at their disposal and will realise my designs in local stone, ship them to Rostock and pay customs duties. I will supervise the realisations, pay the VAT and take care of the installation in the park. The cost estimates, or rather size estimates, range from 30 cm (jade carving from China) to 350 cm (marble sculpture from Vietnam). Detailed information is available on the Bundesimmobilien website.

Many thanks to my assistants Ruth Lübke and Manuel Gruber and the collaborating stone sculptors Katja Stelljes & Peer Steppe (Bremen, Germany), Agnessa Petrova & Petre Petrov (Sofia, Bulgaria), Studi D’Arte (Carrara, Italy), Calvin Chimutuwah (Harare, Zimbabwe), Nguyen Trinh (Ninh Binh, Vietnam), Chen Jianguang (Guangzhou, China) and Chido Johnson (Detroit, USA). Thanks also to the jury chaired by Bettina Steinbrügge and the excellent organisation and supervision of the competition by Dorothea Strube and Bianca Müllner, and to the team at Rostock’s building authority for their warm welcome!

The exhibition of all contributions to the competition takes place from 30. September until 2. October 2025 and 6. until 9. October 2025 between 10 am and 4 pm.

In the five cinematic miniatures by Bremen-based filmmaker Beatrix Schwehm, the protagonists open up their different artistic perspectives. All of the contributors have realised, initiated or curated a variety of artworks and actions in public spaces. The films invite discussion about the philosophy, methods and impact of art in public spaces and aim to serve as a catalyst for the future. The films: Annette Hans: ‘Temporary Art’, Kyungwoo Chun: ‘Aesthetics of Absence’, Jimmi D. Paesler: ‘Mural Painting’, Michaela Melián: ‘Place of Remembrance’ and Ingo Vetter: ‘Sculpture’.

For the moderated panel discussion following the films, we have put together a stimulating discussion group:

Tree of Heaven Woodshop at Galerie K’ in Bremen. We show a series of repaired chairs which were originally done for the Kasseler Kunstverein, some photographs, wooden vases and two videos from the early 2000s.

In 2005, Annette Weisser, Mitch Cope and Ingo Vetter founded the Detroit Tree of Heaven Woodshop, which works exclusively with the wood of the Tree of Heaven, an inexhaustible resource even in the city of Detroit. The woodshop is designed as a locally organised network and develops artworks and commissioned works for international art institutions. The technique of re- or upcycling is placed in the context of globalised ecosystems: The Asian tree of heaven, which has become an invasive species in many regions beyond its region of origin due to world trade, is deliberately used as a raw material for the (re)construction of chairs from the Kassel Art Academy. Frames of design classics are fitted with the pale yellowish wood of the tree of heaven.

Documentary photographs and video works complete the portrait of Detroit, which is exemplary of the dramatic changes in social, ecological and economic conditions in a city as a result of globalisation. The outlines of wooden vessel sculptures, based on various statistics relevant to Detroit from 1985 to 2005, such as unemployment or the vacancy rate of buildings, nuance the image of a city in the shadow of its precarious living conditions.

Opening at 15 June 2024 and the show will run until 21 September 2024

Bremen’s “Art in Public Space” programme was considered groundbreaking in Germany. Since 1973, over 1,300 permanent and temporary works of art have been created in the city, mostly visible, sometimes hidden, always surprising and opening up a new perspective on their location.
How do they influence the development of the city? What opportunities, what potential for conflict and what ideas does public art harbour for everyone?
In the five film miniatures by Bremen filmmaker Beatrix Schwehm, the protagonists open up their different artistic perspectives. All of the participants have realised, initiated or curated a variety of artworks and actions in public spaces. The films invite discussion about the philosophy, methods and impact of art in public spaces and aim to serve as a source of inspiration for the future.

Jimmi D.Paesler, artist – analogue mural and picture painter
Annette Hans, artistic director GAK
Ingo Vetter, artist & professor of sculpture HfK Bremen

Information
Mobility changes the world in all aspects. What does mobility mean in the face of unstable environmental, political and social conditions? Month of Art Practice (MAP) invited artists with a diversity of perspectives to explore the topic from a personal to a global level, creating different narratives and nuanced images.

MAP 2023 – The Alternative Mobility is a collaboration between Hochschule für Künste Bremen (HfK) and Heritage Space in Hanoi, Vietnam, and part of the BMBF Collaborative Research Project Bremen Goes Sustainable – BreGoS. At both locations, a group of international artists and curators worked together with local artists and students. The results will be shown in parallel in Bremen and Hanoi.

The four invited artists Sylbee Kim (Berlin/Seoul), Felix Dreesen (Bremen), Kayle Brandon (Bristol) and Quỳnh Lâm (Ho Chi Minh City) are participating in the Bremen exhibition, together with the five HfK students Alexander Schröter, Jamie Yzabel Santos, Jisu Kim, Mohar Kalra and Renen. Further contributions of the Hanoi group come from invited artists Gemini Kim (Seoul) and Hwayong Kim (Seoul), Yuhei Higashikata (Hokkaido), Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah (Zurich), the curators Moon-Seok Yi (Seoul), Burkhard Melzer (Bern), Jieon Lee (Seoul) and the Vietnamese artists Ngô Đình Bảo Châu (Ho Chi Minh City), Hoàng Anh Nguyễn (Danang), Sarah Morag (Ho Chi Minh City), Nguyễn Vũ Hải (Hanoi).

The project is led by Nguyễn Anh Tuấn (Heritage Space Hanoi) and Ingo Vetter (HfK Bremen).

The public will have the opportunity to explore the challenging and surprising creative process of this year MAP 2023’s artists through Open Studio. The workspace will offer a glimpse into the artist’s mind, fostering intimate conversations where the barrier of space and time is dissolved between the audience and creators. Open Studio is also one of the new additions to Month of Art Practice 2023. Concurrently with this activity, another temporary exhibition of Alternative Mobility #2 featuring guest artists Vũ Kim Thư, Hoàng Nguyễn, Lê Nguyễn Duy Phương, and Ingo Vetter will be showcased in the Heritage train’s carriages as a part of the Hanoi Creative Design Festival 2023.

This Open Studio will showcase a portion of the work of artists from Korea, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, and Vietnam including Gemini Kim, Hwayong Kim, Sylbee Kim, Felix Dreesen, Yuhei Higashikata, Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah, Ngo Dinh Bao Chau, Sarah Morag Thuy Tien, Nguyen Hoang Anh, and Nguyen Vu Hai. Their works will be fully presented in MAP 2023’s “Alternative Mobility” exhibition, officially opened on November 26, 2023.

Location: High Voltage House 33B, Gia Lam Train Factory, Ngoc Lam, Long Bien, Hanoi, Vietnam

Date & Time: Opening: 18:00 – 20:00, Friday, November 17, 2023. Opening hours: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM, November 17 to November 25, 2023 (Closed on Mondays).

A public conference by HDK-Valand Academy of Art and Design at University of Gothenburg on September 28–29, 2023

Research and discussion about public art frequently focuses on conditions of emergence and production for public works. This symposium starts at the other end—thinking about the afterlives of public art with respect to processes of decline, decay, acts of reparation and reimagination, transformation and change. We are interested in questions of sustainability, custodianship, and whether “failed” public artworks can be revitalised and thought anew. What are the implications for their authorship and ownership, and what challenges does this present for commissioners, artists, architects, and urban planners? How can producers, owners and custodians of public artworks, and the communities living with these works, anticipate and accommodate complex afterlives of public art?

We also want to consider the changing terms through which futures are imagined—from progress narratives of the modern to crisis narratives of climate change—and what the implications are for commissioning public artworks and their evolution in the design of public space.

I will reply to keynote speaker Dan Karlholm on Thursday, September 28 at 4:30pm. The entire program and more information can be found on the Homepage.

A discussion event as part of the Changing City Festival on 50 years of art in public space in Bremen. Monuments have clearly defined themes and societal tasks and thus differ from art in public space. At the same time, current artistic strategies are used for implementation. What are the consequences of this?

Three current monument projects from Bremen will be presented: Elianna Renner presents the Köfte Kosher memorial pavilion, Ingo Vetter talks about the planned memorial for the abused and murdered children in care and Evin Oettingshausen presents the current status of the “Aryanisation”-memorial.

MAP 2021 has a new theme “the WHITE DISTANCE” – an artistic response to the distances created by the pandemic and wants to rethink the existing gaps in the physical and psychological human life. The project started from July 2021 to until mid-September by a series of weekly online discussion with a large group of artists who participated in the project from 2016-2020.

Due to too much work at university, I had to withdraw as an active artist and participated only as guest. It was an intense and very interesting process hosted by the Hanoi based Heritage Space. The results are on display at the Hanoi Union Hall and online at the homepage https://the-white-distance.art

For this cultural exchange 14 artists from Haifa and Bremen were invited to form tandem-pairs and develop new art work during a six-month online collaboration. I had the pleasure to work with Sharon Glazberg. We started with agriculture related stories from our family backgrounds and finally approached the fruit and vegetables market at Domshof, asking about borders between conflicts we are getting used to and routines generating conflicts. The artwork we developed together has the title “Border Control” and refers to the new security routine to x-ray vegetable transports between Gaza and Israel supposed to prevent arms smuggling.

What does it mean to care for something, someone, or ourselves?

Caring can be a form of affection, a survival strategy, a political tool, a mode of labor, and a means of sustenance. It can be driven by moral imperative or necessity. Whether an accumulation of small gestures, a singular bold act, or even strategic indifference, expressions of care—or the lack thereof—shape the world in which we live, a world that is often fraught with competing tensions and complexities.

Drawing generously from the Smart Museum’s collection, Take Care seeks to unpack matters of care from the personal to the collective. The artworks on view range from portrayals of familial relations and societal obligations, to gestures of hospitality and ritual, from strategies of bearing witness and evoking empathy, to explorations of networks of care and the results of their absences. This conversation between over 50 works of art across media considers and reveals the multi-faceted nature of the ways care is conveyed and experienced. And, in doing so, urges the open-ended question of how we care for ourselves and each other in our broader social worlds.

Mitch Cope’s, Annette Weisser’s and my work “Detroit Tree of Heaven Woodshop: Letters from Detroit” was acquired by the Smart Museum in 2010 and is exhibited now in the section “Ecologies of Care”.

Exhibition take care, runs from October 1, 2020 until March 21, 2021

Address: former Pelzladen Schweisz (directly at Pasinger Marienplatz), Bodenseestr. 1, 81241 Munich

After four years of development, presentations and re-designs, the first phase of the park realization is scheduled for August 2015.

Gruvstadsparken is a new park for the mining city Kiruna in the very north of Sweden. The iron ore mine in Kiruna is the most efficient and prosperous one in Europe. A consequence of the extensive excavation are cracks appearing on the surface and as a result, half of the city needs to be relocated within the next 25 years. The buffer zone between the erosion areas of the mine and the city will be in permanent flux, still accessible for people but not anymore suitable for housing or traffic.

For this zone, we – Ingo Vetter, Sofia Sundberg & Karl Tuikkanen – developed a park concept, which is based on the transformation process, re-uses all demolition waste, as well as remaining infrastructure. The concept actively deals with questions of identity, history and memory. In the first phase of realization a former residential area of 3 ha will be dismantled and rebuild as a geometric structure out of gabions filled with bricks and concrete from the demolished houses. The structures will be open to the public until the erosion zone reaches the area. Thereafter, a fence forecloses the park use, but the structures will still be visible for decades. Gradually 64 ha of city space will be transformed in a second phase. Hence, the park will be rather a time-based condition than a fixed space.

The opening of the first part of Gruvstadsparken will be in November 2015.

Rainer Krause has produced a television feature Künstlerbesuche, presenting Bremen based artists. The series will be broadcasted at buten un binnen, ARD Radio Bremen between 19:30 and 20:00:

Until this day, historical landscape painting determines our conception of the landscape, be it in literature, geography, landscape planning, or the more recent environmental sciences. How do artists engage with post-mining landscapes today? The two-day symposium taking place in Welzow—with a joint tour of the active mine—and at Kunsthaus Dresden is dedicated to the relationship between art, (post-)industrial landscape, resources, and democracy.
