Holiday Party at the
By Carol Harbers President
Hamburger Kunsthalle
On December 8 , we celebrated our Annual Holiday Party . This year ’ s interesting twist was starting the event off with a tour of Breathing ( Atmen ), an exhibition at the Hamburger Kunsthalle . Split into two groups for the tour , we explored this unconventional exhibit on the existential topic of a seemingly unconscious biological process — unconscious until “ one ’ s breath is taken away .” Observing only a fraction of the exhibition ( composed of more than 100 works ) and from the vantage point of our very different tour guides , our members had plenty to compare when we gathered for the reception at The Cube restaurant .
With over 55 members attending , the festive threecourse dinner and gift exchange was a wonderful opportunity to visit with each other before the holiday season took off in full swing . Thank you to all who helped put this together !
