Press Release

Norbert Schwontkowski opens a new syllogistic season in Caprii.

One artist, one work: within the framework of Caprii’s new exhibition series, each artist extends the invitation to the following, creating a self-sustained exhibitive ecosystem. In redistributing decision-making and enlivening artists in a direct dialogue with each other, the elements of each reflected in the other become tangle. The singular exhibitions culminate in a yearly publication, thereby offering manifold moments to trace the relational resonances within contemporary art production.

One particular work by the late Bremer artist Norbert Schwontkowski is to be seen from February 24th – March 25th 2023, in Caprii’s home in the Orangeriestr. 6.

The oeuvre of Norbert Schwontkowski is deceptively simple, at once playful and melancholy, naïve and sophisticated. He devoted himself to the central themes of human existence as well as to the small absurdities of everyday life, mastering the game of allusions and the surreal. His poetic and humorous works always seem to balance on the edge of the abyss.
