Atelier Kunstknoten

Atelier Kunstknoten, a relative young and small art-centre based in the quarter Neu Ehrenfeld, of the city Cologne. Founded in the year 2008, run by Susanne Katherina Opheys and Sanmitra Felix. Both of them being energetic artist ,both of them relaxed and fun people to be with. Typical for the city of Cologne and its in'habitants: energetic and fun to be with.

Cologne, being one of the largest and oldest German citíes has a lot to offer. Founded by the Romans in 50 bc as Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium, being the military headquarter and capital city of the Germania Inferior province. In the Middle Ages flourishing as one of the major trade routes and being one of the leading Hanseatic Leage cities. Still being one of the major cities during WW2, Cologne became one of the most heavily bombed cities. Allmost the entire city destroyed by 262 air raides and 95% of its population with it. Only one major building being saved miraculous enough, the Cologne cathedral. 

The Cologne cathedral, st Peter and Maria, better known as : der Dom, being a marvel of architecture. Leading the construction,architect Peter von Rile, started 15 August 1248 and finished quickly some 632 years later! The French Gothic Cathedral is one of the largest cathedrals of Northern Europe and still is one of the biggest tourist attractions of the city and Germany. Together with some 30 museums, hundreds of galleries and the Art Cologne., ranging from local ancient Roman archeological sites to contemporary art, Cologne has a vibrant art scene. Part of this scene is Atelier Kunstknoten. 

Visiting Atelier Kunstknoten, at the Ehrenfeldgürtel 157A, is one of the rare opportu'neties to visit a place thats changing the neighbourhoud. Neu Ehrenfeld being a migrant quarter turning into a flourishing part of the city because of artist moving in and taking action. Susanne Katherina Opheys and Sanmitra Felix allways being present and having an open door to their neighbourhoud.

Susanne Katherina Opheys, being one of the few German artist to enjoy the Art Academy of Llotja in Barcelona, the same academy Picasso went to. Also studying at the Artschool of Massana Barcelona and the Leonardo da Vinci Artshool, Barcelona. Painting and graphics being her main artistic activities. Exhibiting in the Lindenthaler Kunsthalle, SK Galerie in Museum Baden Solingen, Galerie Canaletas Figueras in Spain ... . Receiving the Duurzaam Art-award in Maastricht 2011 in the Netherlands. Being active not only in Cologne but also in Bonn, Gemany. Exhibiting in Calcutta, India and cooparating with artist in Hamburg, Germany. A list that goes on and on, giving proof of an artistic energy which is to be seen, found and tasted in her artwork.

Sanmitra Felix, paintings and installations being his main artistic activities. Having a philosophical nature small things in live become large. Stumbling over a poetry-album,showing two children- boy or girl ? - became an inspiration for a series of paintings. Primary idea being to show a perfect childrens-world started to change into paintings presenting a world of fear and happyness at the same time. The spectator thus being able to incorporate his own personal feelings into the artwork.

Being able to dive into an artwork is what art makes art. Visiting Atelier Kunstknoten is well worth your time. Twice a year they take part in the Open Ateliers. Next one being the Ehrenfelder Kunstroute. Meeting two open minded artist and seeing their artwork in their studio and artshop is one of the things to do whlie being in Cologne!

    Hwy Benny, that was quite painful reading as it reminded me so much of my initial career failures after leaving school. You’re right, we need to fail along the way and there will come a time for all of us (or it should) that we’re able to to call those failures &#r#86;expe1ience&28217;. I can now, but it was pretty confusing at the time.

    Greatest fictional evil groups… hmmm…. growing up it was Skeletor and his minions, Mumra and his (im not so sure they had names other they going by the lee#ra&d8217;s), COBRA from G.I.Joe, the Beloved of Chemosh from the Margaret Weis’ Dark Disciple trilogy, and the so-called “highborn elves” from the ElfQuest comics

    uanset om de er gode eller dÃ¥rlige, er irrelevant. Jeg kan ikke lide dem, og jeg tror, ​​at de fortjener at blive arbejdsløs. Jeg er ligeglad med, om de er gode eller dÃ¥rlige. forstÃ¥?mine ord, almindelig logik.BTW. baseret pÃ¥ denne, har du undladt at McKinsey egpeÃhedsnrt¸ven for nye rekrutter, sÃ¥ ingen opgave for dig der.

    An additional issue is that video gaming became one of the all-time main forms of enteetainmrnt for people of every age group. Kids enjoy video games, and adults do, too. Your XBox 360 is amongst the favorite games systems for many who love to have hundreds of video games available to them, and who like to relax and play live with other folks all over the world. Thanks for sharing your opinions.

    John HollingerGolden State is a playoff coadnnder“Brneton Rush won’t be back but Andrew Bogut should be; he’ll be a major upgrade on Festus Ezeli and banish the human free throw virus formerly known as Andris Biedrins back to the bench. Also, Klay Thompson will probably make a shot at some point this season, which would boost an underperforming offense. All told, all signs point to the Warriors being a very viable playoff contender, especially if clubs like Utah and Minnesota keep scuffling.”

    Jerry sueirsms Kap is looking down the road 7 weeks to playoffs and believes Harbs thinks the team has a better chance in the playoffs with Kap than Alex.I agree.On a human level that is a tough go for Alex.
