a gallery visit

Constance has several museums and even more
galleries, but I only visit one quite regularly: the
Wessenberg gallery. They show mostly different
collections, which all related to Lake Constance
(and wider surroundings) or to Wessenberg. Not
only that, many of the rooms in the gallery are
also worth a closer look.

In the gallery itself there are two rooms, which belongs
to the local art club and they often shows interesting
modern works of international artists. At the moment
(till Sept 27th) they show the work of a young Chinese
artist Zhou Jinhua. I recommend you to go to his
exhibition, if you got the chance. I really love it. It's
one of the most gorgeous exhibition I've visited there
(I've visited it twice and am considering to go there
with my son, even though the theme is quite 'brutal'
for a kid...).

On the way to the Zhou's exhibition. It reads: only the
distance allows a clear view to the society's soul.

You can find it again on his painting on the wall (which
he has painted at the vernissage, the attendant has
told me).

I really enjoyed the time there. Art is food for soul!
