Are you artists? In this exhibition you will see only artworks made by women. They lived and worked between 1819 and 1919. But this was rather difficult in that time: Women were not allowed to attend the Düsseldorf Art Academy. Just imagine not being able to follow your favourite profession. What would you do to follow your dreams? Together we will explore what moved the female artists and get to know them better.

Im Rahmen der Ausstellung freuen wir uns, Prof. Hanns Hatt begrüßen zu dürfen, einen der weltweit führenden Geruchsforscher und Professor für Zellphysiologie an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Er widmet sich seit Jahrzehnten der Erforschung des menschlichen Geruchssinns. Gemeinsam mit seinem Team entdeckte Prof. Hatt, dass Duftrezeptoren auch außerhalb der Nase in allen Zellen des menschlichen Körpers vorhanden sind.
In seinem Vortrag nimmt der promovierte Zoologe, Humanphysiologe und Mediziner uns mit auf eine faszinierende Reise durch die Welt der Düfte: Wie beeinflussen Gerüche unsere Emotionen, Entscheidungen und sogar unsere Gesundheit? Welche Rolle spielen sie in der Zellkommunikation? Und wie lassen sich diese Erkenntnisse für Medizin, Kosmetik und Kultur nutzen?

Still lives are popular motifs in painting. Starting with arranging the objects into a composition, then observing it closely and capturing the scene: This special workshop is suitable for those new to watercolours as well as for those looking to refine their technique.
Surrounded by the artworks in the Kunstpalast, we use the inspiration to create our own fruit arrangements, whilst exploring the beauty of the mundane and the diversity of the shapes and colours of nature. Under the professional guidance of Nima Dibazar, we will start with sketches and build up our creative confidence to paint our own watercolour painting. Enjoy a creative afternoon in a relaxed atmosphere and discover your artistic side.
Nima Dibazar is an architect and watercolour painter who has been recording his own memories of people, places and travels in his sketchbooks. He will introduce you to painting with watercolours and show you how to work free and loose with them.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of fragrance layering! In this special workshop, we will learn how to creatively combine different perfumes and fragrance notes to create your own personal signature scent.
After a brief introduction to the basics of fragrance composition and the most important fragrance families, we will get straight down to trying things out: using high-quality molecular fragrances and selected niche fragrances, we will test various layering techniques and experience how new, individual fragrance worlds open up. We will also receive tips on how to build our own fragrance wardrobe and use it specifically for different moods and occasions.
For optimal conditions, we recommend arriving unscented.
Melina Klinger studied art history and museum studies at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn. She wrote her thesis on olfactory art in the exhibition context and uses her fragrance archive to advise interested parties on fragrance wardrobes.

Adeline Jaeger was always drawn to Düsseldorf, where she wanted to paint, study art and enjoy life. Pressured by her family, however, she married a pastor, had children and had little time left for art. In her memoirs, she looks back on this time with melancholy, but also with reflection. At the beginning of the event, passages from the memoir will be read passages before visitors take a guided tour of Jaeger’s artworks in the exhibition “Women Artists. From Monjé to Münter”.

Ретроспектива «Ганс-Петер Фельдманн. Художня виставка» демонструє весь спектр творчості Фельдманна. Його часто гумористичні питання про сенс, початок і кінець мистецтва, пильний погляд на предмети повсякденного вжитку, їх ізольоване споглядання та художнє освоєння пронизують всю виставку.
Дозвольте собі зануритися у художній світ Фельдмана і дізнайтеся, наскільки несподівано цікавими можуть бути найпростіші речі, якщо лише змінити перспективу.
The retrospective “Hans-Peter Feldmann. Art Exhibition” shows the entire spectrum of Feldmann’s work. His humorous questions about the meaning, beginning and end of art, his keen eye for everyday objects, their isolated observation and artistic appropriation are at the heart of the exhibition. Discover Feldmann’s world and experience how unexpectedly interesting the simplest things can be if you just change your perspective.
