On the occasion of the Netherlands' guest appearance at the Leipzig Book Fair, Galerie Hochdruckpartner invited artists to make new work inspired by Peter van Lier's poetry. Eight visual artists made woodcuts, linocuts and artists' books: Eleonora Damme (DE), Andrea Lange (DE), Gabriele Sperlich (DE), Susann Hoch (DE), Hanneke van der Hoeven (NL/DE), B.C. Epker (NL), Inez Odijk (NL), Jacomijn den Engelsen (NL).
The composer Cees Hiep (NL) wrote a music composition for harpsichord and voice.
At the opening of the exhibition Peter van Lier (NL) will read from his poems, and Ermis Theodorakis (DE) will perform the music composition of Cees Hiep for the very first time.
The opening will take place on Friday, March 22, 2024 at 7 p.m. in the Hochdruckpartner gallery in Leipzig.
B.C. Epker's creation of new work was generously sponsored by the Gemeente Leeuwarden. Other parts of the project were also supported by the Dutch embassy, Dutch foundation for literature, and Leeuwarden – UNESCO City of Literature.
