Summer mood meets contemporary art: "Summer in January" in Bochum
The gallery January transforms into a summer oasis full of art, music, and relaxed encounters on Saturday, July 4, 2026, in Bochum-Langendreer.

An afternoon between exhibition and summer feeling
The format combines event atmosphere with a clear focus on contemporary art. Visitors will experience not only a casual summer party but also the current exhibition "Repeatedly Preferred" by Jaromil Wiest. According to the announcement, cool, linear surfaces meet organic forms there – an exciting contrast that gives the event experience a special depth.

Young art in a special setting
The gallery January has stood for experimental exhibition formats since 1991 as a non-profit art association and focuses on young, independent artistic positions. The association showcases contemporary art on three floors of a rear building in Bochum-Langendreer and works across disciplines with painting, sculpture, photography, video, and site-specific installations. This curatorial signature also shapes the summer event. ([galerie-januar.de](https://www.galerie-januar.de/ausstellungen/?utm_source=openai))
