From St Paul's Gallery,
Conceived by Matthias Schneider, a Berlin based curator and comic expert and the Goethe-Institut, this travelling exhibition presents two generations of German comics artists: the 1990s post reunification avant-garde that paved the way for the emergence of an independent culture of German comics, and a generation of younger comics artists, whose work embraces a newer aesthetic and narrative aspect.
Artists include: Arne Bellstorf, Martin Tom Dieck, Anke Feuchtenberger, Flix, Jens Harder, Sascha Hommer, Line Hoven, Ulf K., Reinhard Kleist, Isabel Kreitz, Mawil, Christina Plaka, Henning Wagenbreth.
The St PAUL St Gallery in conjunction with the School of Art and Design, and the Goethe-Institut New Zealand will also host two free workshops with visiting artists Line Hoven and Mawil during the Auckland Arts festival.
Thursday 7 March 9:30 am - 4 pm Line Hoven will be running a scraperboard workshop where she will share her techniques.
Friday 8 March 9:30 am - 4 pm Mawil will introduce the basics of storytelling through comic strips. Both workshops are aimed at participants who have skill and experience in drawing.
