Welkom op onze blog! Hier geven we inzicht in onze huidige en voorbije tentoonstellingen, soms met een blik van buitenaf, onthullen we de achtergrond van de afzonderlijke thema's en introduceren we af en toe de creatieve geesten achter ons programma.

Hallo, ich bin die Neue!
„Frau Mettner, erweitern Sie doch mal Ihren Horizont! Sie haben sich doch im Laufe Ihres Bachelors mit Mode- und Textildesign beschäftigt, überlegen Sie, ob Draiflessen Collection vielleicht eine geeignete Anlaufstelle für Sie darstellen würde!” Drei-was?? So war ungefähr meine erste Reaktion, als ich mit meiner Praktikumsbetreuerin Prof. Schlüter an der Universität Osnabrück über mögliche Institutionen im Rahmen meines zehnwöchigen Vollzeitpraktikums gesprochen habe.

What is a chair?
