Mindfulness, Movement and Cello Sound at the Lehmbruck Museum

On September 27, 2026, the workshop "Kum Nye ImPuls: Mindfulness, Yoga and Cello" combines contemplative bodywork with musical improvisation and contemporary art. As part of the exhibition "Anish Kapoor," a unique art experience will be created within the Lehmbruck Museum, bridging movement, breath, sound, and aesthetic experience.

Kum Nye as a Gentle Practice of Perception

Under the guidance of Jürgen Böttcher, participants will explore a gentle practice that includes movement, conscious breathing, self-massage, and moments of silence. Simple exercises promote concentration on one’s own body and open the mind to subtle sensations. No prior knowledge is required.

Cello Music as a Sound Space

Anne Krickeberg will accompany the session with intuitively played cello. The warm, immediately physically perceivable timbre of the instrument creates a resonant space where breath, movement, and silence interact. Sound meditations expand the exploration of the artwork with an acoustic dimension.

In Dialogue with Anish Kapoor

The exhibition "Anish Kapoor. Wilhelm Lehmbruck Prize Winner of the City of Duisburg and the Rhineland Regional Council" provides the artistic framework for the workshop. Kapoor is regarded as one of the most visionary artists of our time. His pigment works, mirror sculptures, and monumental installations connect body, space, and consciousness. Light, shadow, color, and material transform the architecture of the Lehmbruck Museum into a resonant space for questions of identity, memory, vulnerability, and infinity.

Exhibition Atmosphere and Cultural Education

The curation of the accompanying program integrates physical perception and art historical engagement. Participants will experience how a sculpture can be perceived not only visually but also as a spatial, sensual, and intellectual experience. This combination of yoga, mindfulness, contemporary sculpture, and music creates an unusual approach to cultural education.

Conclusion: An Artistic Experience with All Senses

The workshop invites participants to experience the exhibition of Anish Kapoor not just visually but also with body, breath, and hearing. Art enthusiasts can expect a focused aesthetic experience in one of the striking museum buildings of the post-war period. Those who wish to connect contemporary art, mindfulness, and cello sound in a special atmosphere should experience this extraordinary accompanying program live.
