On upcoming Saturday 6 December at 4 p.m. the exhibition Scherben bringen Glück (Broken Glass Brings Good Luck) of the Berlin-based conceptual and performance artist Daniel Knorr opens. The performance project Scherben bringen Glück includes the creation of the sculpture City Pills and also the ongoing production of eyeglasses out of fragments of old glass during the entire run of the exhibition.
„On one hand broken glass is a witness of a violent history; on the other hand it contains everyday cultural meanings and values. In Scherben bringen Glück the glasses stand for the visualization of this ambivalent relationship." Daniel Knorr
