Cordula Volkening "Mit Meinem Wilden Hertzen/With My Wild Heart "
Trestle Gallery (at Brooklyn Art Space)
This event has ended.
Cordula Volkening has been working as an artist and designer for 35 years. "In Meinem Wilden Herzen" is her second show at BAG. It is named for a Rilke poem and roughly translates from German as "in my wildest/bravest heart."
Cordula was diagnosed with advanced brain cancer last September. She has undergone two rounds of brain surgery and is currently in an experimental clinical trial. The tumor has impaired her ability to speak, but as her friend photographer Stefan Falke says, the effects of the cancer and the treatments have "not kept her from continuously creating great art."
