Especially with chronic illnesses like migraine, I repeatedly experience how difficult it is to make inner experiences visible or understandable. Art allows me to express things for which words are often insufficient: pain, sensory overload, loss of time, loss of control, withdrawal, or anger. At the same time, I also realize that my migraine is not the same as that of...]]></description><link>https://www.andreageipel.net/en/post/why-participation-is-a-central-part-of-my-exhibition-kopflandschaften</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4cffa9a5075be4e34ccc20</guid><category><![CDATA[Events]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jul 2026 19:18:51 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f61513_4bfc4414d90746e3a00130643f086205~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>andreageipel</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What remains after an exhibition?]]></title><description><![CDATA[My exhibition KOPFLANDSCHAFTEN (HEAD LANDSCAPES) ended a little over two weeks ago at the Pop-up Pavilion in Kiel.
