Art meets cabbage
Art meets Kohl is a sculpture exhibition that has been taking place in Münster since 2005 .
description
The exhibition takes place in three allotment gardens, in several private gardens in the "Inselviertel" and in the public space in the Münster Kinderhaus . A signposted sculpture trail of around four kilometers leads through the exhibition, connecting the gardens with one another and opening up further permanently installed sculptures, historical sculptures and art in public spaces.
The organizers are a representative of the Bürgerhaus Kinderhaus, an artist based in the Kinderhaus and an art historian from Münster. These will make a pre-selection from up to ten submitted works per artist. The place of installation is determined jointly by the artist and the garden owner.
The path can be done on foot or by bike. An art historian from Münster offers guided tours where interpretation aids and further information on works of art and artists are given. Special tours for the blind and deaf are offered.
In 2009, two sponsorship awards will be awarded for the first time. The “Kinderhauser Sculpture Prize” is endowed with 2000 euros and is awarded to the artist “whose contributions clearly demonstrate the ability to innovate and have their own profile.” The 450 euros “young talent prize” goes to the artist, “who only recently is active and whose contribution indicates in a special way that his artistic work is worthy of support. It can also be given to a 60-year-old who only discovered his artistic streak in old age. "
"Art meets Kohl" is curated in 2009 by Alexander Dragon. This year, works by Jochen Koeniger and Ruppe Kosseleck can be seen in the public space on Kinderhauser Strasse “Brüningheide” and “Heidegrund”.
From May 30, 2010 to the end of September 2010, the sculpture exhibition “Art meets Kohl” will run in the allotment gardens “Heidegrund” and “Am Bergbusch”. The “Opera House for Children's House” is set up on Sprickmannplatz. With its modest furnishings, the opera Tristan und Isolde can be performed over three days . The musical accompaniment is provided by various artists. In addition, there is a diverse supporting program with discussions, excursions, guided tours, readings, lectures, workshops and much more.

It is organized by Ute Behrens-Porzky from the Kinderhauser Bürgerhaus and curated by the art historians Annette Georgi and Roland Seim .

Derivation of the name Art meets Kohl
Kohl can be understood here as a rhetorical figure “ pars pro toto ” for the plants of the (vegetable) garden in order to maintain an alliteration .
Aftermath
The sculpture “Croatian Torso II” by Joost Meyer was selected by a three-person committee and purchased by the city of Münster. It was installed in front of the Heimatmuseum Kinderhaus in 2008.
On August 25, 2009, the Kinderhauser Sculpture Prize endowed with 2000 euros was awarded for the first time to Volker Wessendorf, whose installation “Evolution” is not just a technical object, but a work of art that needs to be operated. The prize for young talent, endowed with 450 euros, was awarded to Haeryun Jeong, who was born in Seoul in 1982, for her fragile, surreal fairy-tale creatures.
