Pretty spontaneously my dear friend Moki and I set up a little show here in Berlin:
As part of the Pictoplasma Festival of Character Design and Art, more precisely during it’s Character Walk, Moki and I give a quick insight on our recent work.
Both of us are currently working on stories that are about expeditions into the otherness.
Moki presents a brandnew ‘wimmelbild’ and her graphic novel ‘Wandering Ghost’. I show some samples from the forthcoming book ‘Einer Und Die Anderen’ that I am working on together with Judith Holofernes.

You can find it all at archive books, Dieffenbachstr. 31, 10967 Berlin (Graefekiez).
The exhibition will be free and open from Wednesday April 10 to Sunday April 14, from 12 to 20h.

As the place is rather tiny we will not have a grand opening, but on Wendnesday between 19 and 21h we will definitely be there and happy to say hello to you!

Moki: from ‘Wandering Ghost’

The Association of Illustrators, based in London, launched it’s newest publication of Varoom. Check it out!

Those of you who are in Berlin and want to know what the finished version of the attached piece looks like and/or those who want to take their kids to an art show appealing to kids I’d like to invite to come to the Amerikahaus am Bahnhof Zoo and check out the group show ‘Imaginäre Reisen’.

On 500m2 a large group of international artists are showing their work during the next 6 weeks - not exclusively but compatibly for children.
The opening is on Saturday, November 3 from 02 pm - 05 pm.

Sorry. It’s been a while..! Season’s greatings. Tss.
In the meantime I joined another pictoplasma show here in berlin, was published in their new book, sew a giant thought bubble for a job, did welcome several groups of students in my studio, took care of growing teeth an wounded knees, and started working hard and with great pleasure on a new project, which is a book. This much I can reveal.

With my brandnew calculator I will keep you posted!  Cheers, Nina

With best wishes for Christmas and the New Year,
Nina

Deliriously happy I am to tell you, that our second child arrived safe and sound!
I’ll get back to work sometime later…               Love, Nina

The Hipster

I am very happy to announce my new solo show “Lovers Rock”. You are warmly invited to join me for the opening on Saturday, May 28 at the heliumcowboy artspace in Hamburg.
If you don’t happen to be in town but are interested nonetheless, you can see my new works on the gallery’s website from the opening day on.

Before I disappear into another maternity leave (..!) I really wanted to do a new show.
This will finally happen end of May. On Saturday 28 will be the opening at heliumcowboy artspace in Hamburg / Germany.

Save the date! Details will follow.
