The second episode of our podcast Listening to Art is dedicated to the work of Cologne-based artist Silke Schatz (b. 1967). For this episode, Schatz met Rita Kersting, Curator and Deputy Director of Museum Ludwig Cologne, for a walk in the village of Manheim, near the Hambach open-cast mine.
Since August 2021, Schatz has been visiting Manheim (a roughly half-hour train journey from her home in Cologne) once a week to conduct her artistic field research. Manheim will be the last place in Germany in the history of lignite mining to be excavated.
