“Menkenke”, understood here as an artistic practice, is associated with all four positions shown at Art Cologne: Lea Draeger with an installation of her drawings covering an entire wall, Blalla W. Hallmann’s important work Der Kleinen grosses „Vater Unser“, a set of the last eight available photographs by an anonymous group of students in Cambridge in the thirties called The Night Climbers of Cambridge, and selected works by the artist, poet, film actor and musician Bruno Schleinstein.
