On 8 December, former scholarship holders Christian Kreis and Christine Hobar presented the ‘Salzwedeler Sammelsurium’ at their reading entitled ‘Rot- oder Glühwein’ (Red Wine or Mulled Wine). It brings together texts written by Christian Kreis during his time at the Artists’ and Scholarship Holders’ House 2023. The observations in Saxony-Anhalt’s Venice range from the ultimate Baumkuchen tasting and the most beautiful pile of bulky waste to an outdoor swimming pool test, bell ringing and the zoo.
Christine Hoba was also a scholarship holder in Salzwedel in 2020. In addition to novels, she writes poems and short stories. It is very fitting that Christine Hoba and Christian Kreis happen to be a couple. Learn more about the two of them from their often ironic, melancholic and cheerful texts.
The Artists’ and Scholarship Holders’ House Association has published the booklet featuring the two artists. Thanks to funding from Sparkasse Altmark and private donors, the booklet was able to be printed. Many copies were already under the Christmas tree. If you would like to purchase a copy, please write to the email address stipendiatenhaus-salzwedel@t-online.de.
