Sebastian Mejia, Hagen Keller and Ad van Aart each bring art to life in their own way. Their work moves between physicality, interaction and boundless creativity, breaking through traditional frameworks and opening up new worlds for their audience.

Sebastian Mejia
Born in Cali, Colombia, Sebastian Mejia explores art as a reflection of vitality. For him, life itself is the raw material of creation, with the body as the most powerful medium. His work—ranging from painting and sculpture to performance and installation—is never finished, but continues to unfold in an ongoing dialogue with the world. For Mejia, art is not an object, but a living process that finds its own way.

Hagen Keller
Hagen Keller, a sculptor and performance artist from Cologne, is looking for experiments. Since his studies at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, he has worked with other artists in interdisciplinary collectives. His work invites participation, often takes place in public spaces and consciously moves outside the classic exhibition space. In recent years, he has increasingly focused on theatre, where he and his collective die_manege are exploring new forms of interaction and experience.

Ad van Aart
Ad van Aart literally makes art sound. His sound objects invite the audience to play, discover and listen. What started with a series of small objects, such as his series 'Hallo', grew into larger works that resemble surreal musical instruments. Each object is technically perfect and evokes a playful curiosity. His studio, full of materials and ideas, is a true treasure trove where art and sound come together.

Connected by creativity
What connects these three artists is their search for life in art. Where Mejia sees life as art, Keller brings art to the people and Van Aart creates artworks that invite interaction. Together they show how versatile and lively art can be.

An encounter with their work is a journey through creativity, vitality and imagination – and above all an invitation to participate in the magic yourself.
