Currywurst Now in Bochum: Art meets culture – humorous, accessible, authentic Ruhr area
The exhibition 'Currywurst Now' brings the iconic snack culture to the Thalia-Mayersche bookstore from June 17 to July 31, 2026. On Friday, July 3, 2026, visitors will experience the artist in person from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Admission is free – artistic enjoyment included.
Atmosphere: Between the scent of books and the desire for images
In the basement of the bookstore, a curated event experience unfolds: prints, objects, and playful dessert scenes create a Currywurst cosmos between a wink and seriousness. The event atmosphere remains relaxed, the audience's mood curious – ideal conditions for inspiring conversations.
Artistic signature: kimikunst by Kirsten Mikus
Kirsten Mikus has been focusing on fresh image ideas around everyday culture with 'kimikunst' for years. Her works connect motifs like currywurst, fries, and mayonnaise with print techniques and vibrant painting. The result: pointed imagery that combines humor with social observation.
Expertise on site: The artist is here on Fridays
Every Friday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the artist answers questions about organization, print techniques, and artistic processes – a practical insight into event management, target audience engagement, and printmaking from the first hand.
Special event: Live print technique
In addition to the regular exhibition, there will be a demonstration of the print technique on July 9, 2026 – with the opportunity to create your own print from the printing plate. Thus, the exhibition visit becomes a hands-on event experience.
Conclusion
'Currywurst Now' connects art and everyday culture with light humor and a clear artistic stance. Those seeking the blend of Ruhr area feeling, printmaking, and direct exchange should not miss the Friday event – admission free, inspiration guaranteed.
