The art symposium in Saarbrücken/Germany is over... one intense week with a small group of artists - Michael Oberlik who even came to me and presented him as a member of our community Cultureinside. I am very happy that I was invited to participate in this event, going back to the Saarland, my hometown Saarbrücken and meeting with artists from this land and also from Europe, Albania, Italy, France... ! First of all I want to say thank you to Volker Schmidt - artist and the founder of this event seven years ago, and Carmen Schaefer, you both did a great job for all of us, you managed for us to have a great space, high visibility and excellent ambiance. I am happy to be now in contact with you! Then I am happy that the artist group became also a group, who worked during the symposium, had interesting discussion (too short, would be interesting to continue them). I am sure that contacts will continue and this is also the sense of such events for me: meet other like-minded people. So thanks to you all and let's stay in contact!
