Curator
Lioba Reddeker
The HangART-7 team would like to express its gratitude for the longstanding and mutually rewarding working relationship with our friend and curator Lioba Reddeker who died recently. Lioba Reddeker was the art historian and curator responsible for the HangART-7 exhibition programme, which she worked on with great devotion - her presence will be sorely missed.
