RED CORRIDOR at the Southernmost Point of Africa
The Fulda RED CORRIDOR artist group from the gallery of the same name at Löherstraße 19 is now also present in South Africa.
The operators of a gallery at the southernmost point of Africa, a coastal town called L’Agulhas, invited the artist group to a ten-day workshop and opened the branch RED CORRIDOR South Africa on 13 February.
The artists were very taken with the working atmosphere at the other end of the world. Above all, contact with the local Black South Africans in the township, in the fishing harbour and on the kilometre-long angling beaches inspired the artists strongly. “Just a few weeks ago,” says Leszek Skurski, “I was in Miami, USA, and now this incredible contrast. My painter’s heart rejoices.” Rudi Neuland and Anna Will, who established the contact and live in L’Agulhas part of the time, stressed at the opening the gallery’s role as an international meeting point for art lovers from all over the world. Eighty per cent of all visitors are Europeans travelling in southern Africa – and it is not uncommon to meet visitors from Fulda there.
