International artists in Leipzig…..
The Spinnerei quarterly tours are always a great way to check what’s happening in the Leipzig art scene – and one of our favourite haunts is the Leipizig International Art Programme, which we have written about often in our magazine. 2012 sees a host of new international artists arriving at LIA to spend some time here in Leipzig soaking up the culture and hopefully inspiring new directions for their work.
I met up with two, Turkish artist, Sifa Girinci and Brooke Tomiello, from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Both seemed very excited to be in Leipzig, and were presenting work at the Winter Tour. To find out more about these two young artists and LIA check out their websites and the LIA site….
