The special exhibition presents selected ARTus drawings created over a period of 20 years and focuses on people from Rügen.
Under the pseudonym ARTus, Walter G. Goes wrote over 800 columns about prominent and lesser-known personalities with a connection to the Island of Rügen and delighted readers for twenty years with his short, personal and expressive essays in the Baltic Sea newspaper. Each of these literary and appealing texts is accompanied by a drawing by the artist.
The exhibition now focuses on people from Bergen and the Island of Rügen and their work and offers a diverse insight into two decades of creative work. ARTus juxtaposes historical personalities such as Arnold Ruge with people from the recent past and the present from a wide variety of fields - such as art, medicine, biology, society and history - and invites visitors to pause and reflect under the heading "Seen like this".
Walter G. Goes was born on September 7, 1950 in Aschersleben and has continuously enriched the artistic and cultural life on the Island of Rügen since 1972 as a painter, draughtsman, graphic artist, gallery owner, auctioneer and poet.
