A living room exhibition at Denk.Mal e.V., where art is a guest. Dorothea Stockmar shows paintings responding to John Milton’s »Paradise Lost« of 1667. “Dorothea’s paintings do not simply illustrate John Milton’s poem; rather, they emerge alongside it. Here, the encounter between text and image returns us to the questions at the heart of Milton’s poem: how we perceive, how we judge, and how, in the act of seeing, we may find ourselves newly implicated in the worlds we seek to understand.” That is how Dr Caleb Froehlich of the University of St Andrews puts it. The opening is on Friday, 2 October 2026 at 4 pm, the exhibition runs until 25 October 2026 at Trift 32. There is a reading in the middle of the run: on Monday, 19 October 2026 at 5 pm, „Begegnung zwischen den Welten. Was uns über den Tod hinaus verbindet”, on what connects us beyond death. Admission is free. More about the artist at stockmar-kunst.de.
