Currywurst Now in Bochum: Art, Ketchup and Cultural Moment in the Thalia Basement
From June 17 to July 31, 2026, Bochum city center will become a stage for an unusual exhibition: 'Currywurst Now' by kimikunst by Kirsten Mikus combines pop culture with printmaking – right in the Thalia-Mayersche bookstore, Kortumstraße 69–71. Free admission, approachable atmosphere, curious audience mood.
Art enjoyment among the shelves: This is what the event experience feels like
In the basement, a Currywurst cosmos unfolds, working with vibrant colors, clear lines, and fine humor. The room smells of fresh paper, the prints glow under the light – one can feel the event atmosphere of an urban art spot that playfully brings together literature and visual art.
Dessert art meets Ruhrpott icon
The motifs play with Ruhr area symbols and small, sweet surprises. The result: an equally winking yet precisely composed image program that appeals to both insiders and the curious. Art mediation works here with low barriers – no entry barriers, with direct audience outreach.
Artist on-site: Personally speaking on Fridays
Every Friday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the artist is present, answering questions, providing insights into the technique and creation process, thus creating a lively event management – close, dialogical, inspiring.
Print it yourself: Technique demonstration on July 9
On July 9, 2026, there will be a practical demonstration of the printing technique – including the chance to create your own print from a printing block. A hands-on moment that deepens the event experience.
