Eugen Gomringer (1925-2025)
It is with great sadness that we bid farewell to Eugen Gomringer (born 1925). The poet and founder of concrete poetry passed away on August 21st, 2025, in Bamberg.
For Galerie Renate Bender, contact with Eugen Gomringer in the 1990s was instrumental in shaping the concrete-constructive orientation of the gallery's program.
Gerne erinnern wir uns an ihn als großen Dichter und Denker, als künstlerischen Berater, als Autor brillanter Texte zu vielen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern unserer Galerie.

Bernhard Kreutzer is launching a podcast!
ART UND WEISE
Conversations about art, work, and everything in between. (In German)
You can find the Podcast on Spotify
Invited artists bring one of their own works to talk about – and one by someone else. These become open conversations about what it means to live and work in and with art today.
The first episode features Anne as a guest – so the duo is reunited for the kick-off. After that, Berni will continue solo, though there are already hints that Anne might return to the mic from time to time.
The podcast is accompanied by an illustration by VYZOR (Alexander Schulz).

CD Release
Peter Weber + Ulf Meyer „Hommage”
We are very pleased to present the brand new CD "Hommage" by Ulf Meyer and Peter Weber.
Ulf Meyer (guitar) and Peter Weber (double bass) have a long-standing friendship and career as jazz musicians. It was a cancelled gig in Corona times that they used to record some tracks from the American Songbook in Peter Weber's studio. The compilation of tracks for the resulting CD is a reminiscence of their time together as musicians in the Hamburg scene with Christoph Oeding (guitar) and Ulrich "Miele" Meletschus (drums). In addition to the current tracks, six are from the quartet period of "Meyer Oeding Unlimited".
"Hommage" is dedicated to the two friends who died far too young.
