Group Exhibition 'why do rivers cry?' at Kunstverein Grafschaft Bentheim
In Neuenhaus, the Kunstverein Grafschaft Bentheim showcases 'why do rivers cry?', a collective exhibition that delves into the role of water as a vessel for memory, emotion, and transformation. This display investigates how rivers such as the Dinkel and Vechte record the impact of human actions on nature and climate, highlighting a culture that both molds and endangers its surroundings. Bentheimer Sandstein, which is transported by these rivers, has served as a vital building material for prominent architectural projects, representing both human ingenuity and fragility. The exhibition features artistic interpretations that perceive crying rivers as emblems of loss, accountability, and rejuvenation.
