​The  Arts and Entertainment Center (CAE) was opened in 2002. Large cultural structure (2 200 and 800 seat auditoriums - outdoor amphitheater, foyer, breakout rooms, studios, 4 exhibition halls) was thought of as a centrality with European Community funds and its programming tends to go through major national and international shows and this structure is also linked to other programming centers and events, in an anchor logic that disperses without losing continuity.

​Traum Tafel mit Liba W. Stambollion und Otto Rapp

Zu Wuppertals sozio-kulturellem Event "Langer Tisch",
​wird auch das Nautilus Studio einen besonderen Tisch aufdecken.
Die Traum Tafel!
Mit Pariser Malerin und Möbeldesignerin Liba Waring Stambollion und dem Wiener Maler und Zeichner Otto Rapp werden gemeinsam eine Serie ihrer Werke im Nautilus ausgestellt.
Teils visionär und akribisch, teils surreal und träumerisch, vermischen sich die wunderbaren Arbeiten beider Künstler zu einem Traum Werk! 
Liba und Otto werden speziell für diesen Event anwesend sein.
Ausserdem dabei, in live Airbrush Aktion ist Airbrush Artist Chris Lüning, der unseren Street Appeal mit einer Unterwasserwelt aufpimpen wird!  
Auch von einigen anderen Gast Künstlern ( regional und international) werden Drucke, Kunst-Schmuck und Kunsthandwerk ausgestellt.
Und auch die Libronauten haben wieder spannendes aus der Literatur Schatzkiste aufzutischen!
Lasst Euch überraschen...
Die Ausstellung endet am 31. August, 2019.

Wir freuen uns auf Euch!

I am currently working on a large drawing, called EROS THANATOS II.
The sheet is 120 cm x 100 cm - larger than any other I've done before.
​I am almost finished. Below the entire (unfinished) drawing, plus a slide show of details.
