Crunchy art meets culture: Experience Currywurst Now in Bochum

Bochum loves currywurst – and now it becomes an art motif: The exhibition "Currywurst Now" by kimikunst by Kirsten Mikus transforms the Thalia-Mayersche bookstore into a pop-art stage. On Friday, July 17, 2026, the artist will be on site from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, providing insights into her currywurst cosmos – with free admission and close proximity to the art.

Event atmosphere: Between book scent and pop art

In the basement of the bookstore, an unusual, charming tension arises: Paper pages, prints, dessert motifs – and everywhere the icon of the region. The event experience thrives on short paths, relaxed browsing, and direct exchange. Colors, lines, textures: The audience's mood sways between a wink and serious art appreciation.

Art with a bite: Printmaking, motifs, techniques

Mikus' works play with everyday myths: Currywurst as a symbol of togetherness, humor and pride of the Ruhr area. Through precise printing techniques, serial variations are created – sometimes playful, sometimes pointed. Thus, a snack becomes a statement about identity, enjoyment, and urban culture.

Organization and process: Clear, friendly, well-planned

The exhibition runs from June 17 to July 31, 2026, during the regular opening hours of the Thalia bookstore. On Fridays, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the artist is present – as well on July 17, 2026. Admission is free. A demonstration of the printing technique will take place on July 9, 2026.

Competently curated: Making art approachable

The event planning focuses on reaching target groups without intimidation: art enthusiasts, urban explorers, families, and passersby find easy access. Questions are expressly welcomed – from the technique to the idea behind the motif.

Conclusion

“Currywurst Now” serves pop art with a Ruhrpott heart: freely accessible, sensual, dialogue-oriented. Those who love Bochum's cultural dish will experience here how an everyday object becomes art – best live on site, in conversation with the artist.
