The video and installation artist Marikke Heinz-Hoek developed her first editions in the early 1990s through her involvement with the computer. In the following years, she created numerous works in small to unlimited editions. The preoccupation with the North German landscape and the confrontation with a wide variety of biographies are themes that recur in her editions.

Fascination Finland-with the exhibition Dreamaholic, the Weserburg is providing insight into the current Finnish art scene for the first time. The works come from the Miettinen Collection, which is based in Berlin and Helsinki. In addition to established artists such as Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Jiri Geller, and Robert Lucander, the exhibition primarily presents young positions, many of which have yet to be discovered. They reflect the lively diversity of Finnish contemporary art and make it obvious how independently they engage with international trends and art debates.

In an exciting sequence, the Weserburg presents new artists' spaces for the fourth time. The artists self-confidently put their works and concepts up for debate. The exhibition thus provides insight into the diversity and quality of artistic production today, which are impressively reflected in the Weserburg's collections. It is precisely in the differences, contradictions, and confrontations that come to light in the process that the Weserburg's artists' spaces respond to the complexity of today's experience of the world. Several selected rooms have been set up by the artists especially for this exhibition.

The Tower of Babel as a massacre. The artist as a dead revolutionary. A Gothic Window of Butterfly Wings - Proof of Life brings together over 100 paintings, sculptures, and photographic works that explore existential questions in a way that is both sensual and meaningful. The works come from a private collection that has not yet been shown publicly in this form. Proof of Life presents a precise selection of works by international art stars such as Louise Bourgeois, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Anton Corbijn, Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, and Daniel Richter, some of which are room-sized and extremely impressive.

Artists' books are one of the special phenomena of contemporary art. Since their emergence in the 1950s, they have established themselves worldwide as a new art form. Artists' books are autonomous works of art in the form of a book. As works of art in a larger edition, they stand, as it were, for a democratization of art as well as for artistic mobility and networking.

Founded in Budapest in 1979 by Hungarian artist György Galántai and Julia Klaniczay, the Artpool Archive is one of the seven major archives in Europe dedicated to collecting, archiving and preserving the artistic materials of the new alternative movements in art since the 1960s.

Art that astonishes, that is inventive and surprisingly new - OH WOW, the title of the master student exhibition questions, with an unmistakably ironic undertone, expectations and demands that are still placed on art today. The large collective exhibition, with which 17 master students of the Fine Arts program of the Bremen University of the Arts bid farewell to the completion of their studies, is exemplary in this regard - after all, it shows the diversity of artistic strategies today.

In 1945, philosopher Karl Popper called for an open society "in which people can breathe freely, think freely, in which each person has his or her value, and, in which society does not exert superfluous constraints on people." In the 1960s and 1970s, a new generation of artists began to create and reproduce artworks in the form of artists' books, magazines, newspapers, small mimeographed objects, postcards, graphic posters, and audio cassettes, among other forms.

Christian Kaspar Schwarm is a strategy consultant and co-founder of the online platform "Independent Collectors". His collection, which is currently being constantly expanded and redefined, primarily comprises young international art by lateral thinkers. If one reads the names of the artists who have so far found their way into the collection of the Berlin resident by choice, one finds cross-media positions with a high political and intellectual claim. At the same time, there are installations and video works that encompass entire rooms and are extremely sensual.

In an exciting sequence, the Weserburg presents new artists' spaces for the fifth time. The artists self-confidently put their works and concepts up for debate. The exhibition thus provides insight into the diversity and quality of artistic production today, which are impressively reflected in the Weserburg's collections-supplemented by selected loans.
