You May Dream in Chomutov – CZ
Vernisáž výstavy umělců a umělkyň z Britské Kolumbie (Kanada), inspirovaných tvorbou Karla Friedricha Maye a současnými příběhy Krušných hor, Hohenstein-Ernstthalu, Hohndorfu, Chomutova a Chemnitzu. Představí se tvůrci z oblastí Okanagan, Shuswap a z Vancouveru, kteří – podobně jako kdysi Karl May – vytvářeli svou představu míst, která osobně nenavštívili, v duchu hesel You May Dream a May It Happen.
Návštěvu výstavy v Chomutově doporučujeme propojit se zhlédnutím výstavy You May Dream in HOT, která začíná 20. září v Hohenstein-Ernstthalu.

You May Dream in Chomutov – DE
Vernissage einer Ausstellung von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern aus British Columbia (Kanada), inspiriert von den Werken Karl Friedrich Mays und den aktuellen Geschichten des Erzgebirges, von Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Hohndorf, Chomutov und Chemnitz. Gezeigt werden Arbeiten von Kunstschaffenden aus den Regionen Okanagan, Shuswap und Vancouver, die – ähnlich wie einst Karl May – ihre Vorstellung von Orten entwickelten, die sie selbst nie besucht haben, im Geist der Leitsätze You May Dream und May It Happen.
Wir empfehlen, den Besuch der Ausstellung in Chomutov mit der Ausstellung You May Dream in HOT zu verbinden, die am 20. September in Hohenstein-Ernstthal eröffnet wird.
Weitere Informationen zur Ausstellung und zum Programm finden Sie auf @mymay.art oder unter mymay.art.

You May Dream in Chomutov – EN
Opening of an exhibition by artists from British Columbia (Canada), inspired by the works of Karl Friedrich May and contemporary stories from the Ore Mountains, Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Hohndorf, Chomutov and Chemnitz. Featured artists from the Okanagan, Shuswap and Vancouver regions – much like Karl May once did – created their vision of places they had never visited themselves, in the spirit of You May Dream and May It Happen.
We recommend combining your visit to the exhibition in Chomutov with the exhibition You May Dream in HOT, opening on 20 September in Hohenstein-Ernstthal.
