Beni Veltum & Manuel Moreno in Beverly Buer

The new Galerie Von Veltum in Gelsenkirchen Ückendorf only opened in November 2019. Then Murphy’s Law came into play and everything that could go wrong did go wrong.

Das Ruhr Ding – A good-shaped diamond is hard to find

In 2018, the last collieries in the Ruhr region were closed. An era of working conditions hardly imaginable in Europe today thus came to an end.

Recently there was again a jam there, but this time I knew what I was in for and […]

Gallerage shows works of BYRDO aka BIRD

The backyard of Schützenbahn 19 (Atelierhaus Schützenbahn) hosts Gallerage. Gallerage – the word is a combination of gallery and garage.

I would like to draw your attention to the upcoming exhibition […]
