The Goethe Institute will organize an exhibition featuring contemporary graphic artworks by German artist Benjamin Badock in Hanoi from Friday to early next month, the institute says on its website.
Titled “That’s New – What’s Next,” the event will showcase a selection of 29 works on paper by Badock – one of the most seminal and original graphic artists in Germany.
A talk with the participation of Badock and Hanoi artists on contemporary graphic art will be held at 5:00 pm on October 16 at the Goethe Institute office in the capital city, at 56-58 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, Ba Dinh District.
Born in 1974, Benjamin Badock studied art at the Eesti Kunstiakadeemia in Tallinn, Estonia, and at the Braunschweig Academy of Fine Arts, Germany.
He was a master student of Professor Olav Christopher Jenssen in 2009.
The German artist was recently awarded the Sprengel Prize for Visual Arts 2014 by the Lower Saxony Sparkassen Foundation.
In December 2014, Badock will be presented with the prestigious Sprengel award in Germany for his artistic oeuvre.
“That’s New – What’s Next” will run until November 2 at the Goethe Institute office.
