Together we are introduced to the artist from Düsseldorf Winfred Gaul. 120 paintings and works on paper provide an insight into his work.

Afterwards, we will get creative and create our own colourful pictures.

Meeting Point Museum is once a month.
Refugees and immigrants are very welcome. For them admission is free.

The exhibition will be the first full retrospective in Düsseldorf, where Immendorff studied, taught and worked for decades.

Sagen, was ist
 
Constantin Schreiber steht für echten Journalismus – ohne ideologische Scheuklappen, ohne Sprechverbote, ohne blinde Flecken. Für einen Blick auf die Welt, der sich nicht an politischen Erwartungen, Aktivismus oder moralischen Moden orientiert. Der Tatsachen benennt, auch wenn sie unbequem sind. Auch dann, wenn sie nicht ins eigene Lager passen. Auch dann, wenn Gegenwind sicher ist.
 
Gerade in einer Zeit, in der Debatten immer schneller, lauter und oft auch oberflächlicher werden, ist echter Journalismus wichtiger denn je. Denn Demokratie lebt davon, dass wir auf einer gemeinsamen Grundlage diskutieren können: verlässliche Informationen, überprüfbare Fakten, ehrliche Einordnung. Wenn diese Grundlage bröckelt – wenn Wahrnehmung und Wirklichkeit auseinanderdriften –, wird Verständigung schwierig. Dann ersetzt Haltung die Analyse, Empörung die Argumentation. Constantin Schreiber setzt genau hier an: Er trennt sorgfältig zwischen Meinung und Fakt, zwischen Deutung und belegbarer Realität.
Das bedeutet nicht, neutral im Sinne von gleichgültig zu sein. Es bedeutet, genau hinzuschauen, Widersprüche auszuhalten und auch unbequeme Fragen zu stellen – an alle Seiten. Skepsis ist dabei kein Zynismus, sondern ein Werkzeug: Skepsis gegenüber einfachen Antworten, gegenüber vorschnellen Gewissheiten, gegenüber Narrativen, die zu gut klingen, um wahr zu sein. Denn nur wer prüft, kann verstehen. Und nur wer versteht, kann sinnvoll mitreden.
 
Die Welt sehen und beschreiben, wie sie ist – nicht, wie Politiker, Ideologen oder Aktivisten sie gerne hätten. Das heißt auch: Komplexität zulassen, statt sie zu glätten. Unterschiede benennen, statt sie zu überdecken. Und dort widersprechen, wo Dinge verzerrt dargestellt werden. Denn nur so können wir wirklich diskutieren, was gut läuft – und was nicht. Und nur so entstehen Lösungen, die mehr sind als Schlagworte.
 
Einen Abend lang analysiert Constantin Schreiber messerscharf die großen Themen unserer Zeit – von Israel über den politischen Islam bis hin zu Fragen von Integration, Medien und öffentlicher Debatte. Er ordnet ein, vergleicht, hinterfragt – und bringt Perspektiven zusammen, die sonst selten nebeneinander stehen. Im Gespräch mit aktuellen Gästen geht es um Macht und Ohnmacht der Politik, um Einfluss und Verantwortung von Medien, und um die Frage, wie viel Wahrheit unsere öffentliche Debatte eigentlich noch aushält.
Am Ende steht kein fertiges Weltbild – sondern ein Angebot: klarer sehen, besser verstehen, fundierter streiten. Denn genau das braucht eine offene Gesellschaft.

Curator Heike van den Valentyn talks to Marcelo Zitelli, former assistant to Niki de Saint Phalle and a member of the board of trustees of the Niki Charitable Art Foundation, about the artist and her work.

She wanted to be free and carved out a place for herself, gaining power and influence in a male-dominated art scene: the artist Niki de Saint Phalle (1930–2002). Her work places a particular focus on strong women and self-determination, including over one’s own body. From her ‘shooting paintings’ to the large, colourful Nanas, the exhibition explores four decades of the Franco-American artist’s work. Find out more about her ambivalent body of work, which addresses a wide range of topics– from anger to zest for life – and is becoming increasingly relevant.

Please note that the conversation will be held in English.
