Haseeb Ahmed, artist at the Werkleitz Festival 2019 Model and Ruin, presents his exhibition The Wind Egg until January 6 at the Antwerp Museum of Modern Art (M HKA) in Belgium. The concept of “wind eggs” postulates that animals and humans can be fertilized by the wind - a belief helt for millennia by ancient Egyptian, Arab, Indian, European and Chinese cultures. Haseeb Ahmed has implemented this idea with state-of-the-art wind tunnel technology at the Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics in Belgium.

Andrea Pichl, invited artist for the upcoming Werkleitz Festival, is one of the artistic directors of the new exhibition Pissing in a River. Again!, which opens this Friday, November 16 at 7 pm at Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien.
The exhibition celebrates the diversity of contemporary female artists who position their work intensively and offensively in an art world still dominated by masculinity – or who directly challenge this.
