From May 23 to 25, 2026, KunstOffen invites you to discover studios throughout Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Bettina Follenius' creative workshop "Papierkiste" will be opening its doors in Barth. Visitors can expect experimental paper art, handmade artists' books and exciting insights into creative work with paper.
From May 23 to 25, 2026, it's ArtOpen again! And the studio doors will also be open in Barth. Bettina Follenius' creative workshop "Papierkiste" will be open for you on all three days from 10 am to 6 pm.
In the paper box, everything revolves around paper as a means of artistic expression. Three-dimensional objects, sculptures and extraordinary book art are created by folding, cutting, layering and shaping. Here, paper is not seen as an everyday material, but as a material with structure, depth and character.
A particular focus is on handmade artist's books and book objects. Each work is unique and combines form, content and material to create its own artistic statement. This results in both free art objects and experimental book forms that rethink classic design.
During KunstOffen you can not only discover the works, but also gain insights into the creative process and talk to the artist. The paper box is a place for exchange, inspiration and encounters - and invites you to experience paper in a completely new way.
