Friends of Geyso20
Members' Trip to the Junkerhaus Museum
Lemgo, August 30, 2025
The Friends of Geyso20 e.V. invite their members in August 2025 to the annual members’ excursion to Lemgo.
The destination is the Junkerhaus Museum, named after its builder Karl Junker. The Junkerhaus is an impressive Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art) that its creator, Karl Junker, architect and artist, began constructing in 1889. The result is a three-story half-timbered house, decorated with intricate carvings. Inside, it is said by members to resemble a stalactite cave in places. Although the house was planned and built as a family home, with a bedroom and children’s room, Karl Junker lived alone and in seclusion in his house until his death in 1912. He mainly used an attic room, a studio, and a workshop for living and working. Karl Junker regularly guided interested visitors through what is today an internationally significant work of Outsider Art.
The Friends of Geyso20 e.V. cordially invite all interested parties to this year’s annual members’ meeting on October 23 at 5:30 p.m. in the Geyso20 studio spaces.

The studio as a community#Geyso20 - Peter Miller and Thorsten Ruperti
Sprengel Museum Hanover, march 14, 2025
Writing, movements of the key levers of historical typewriters, the curiosity of neglected but ever present perceptions, have connected the artists Thorsten Ruperti and Peter Miller since 2021. This is when their pen pal began; with a question from Ruperti to Miller, about his work Envelope, 2020.

Second tandem tour - Geyso20 at the Sprengel Museum Hanover
The Studio as a Community#Geyso20 - Markus Zimmermann and Timo Winner
Sprengel Museum Hanover, february 14, 2025.
How do we want to live together? Timo Winner, artist at the Geyso20 studio, has very concrete answers optimising the urban space. In 2023, he has started his collaboration with Markus Zimmermann: As part of a workshop week, organised by Atelier 23, Lebenshilfe Gießen, they have built an object showing a covered traffic network.
Markus Zimmermann, an artist living and working in Frankfurt on the Main, creates something new out of something used. At first glance, no longer useful, Zimmermann returns things to the social sphere. Collaborative experiences with the ‘new’ create encounters and connections, provide answers.
