With Visible: Visible Women Artists Archive bi-owl, the city library of Bielefeld invites you to a concentrated art experience that connects archive, artwork observation, and lively biographies of women artists.

Archive boxes as cultural memory spaces

The Women Artists Archive bi-owl makes visible what too often remained in the shadows of many art historical narratives: the continuity of female creativity, regional networks, and individual developments of works. The presentation opens up a space between documentation and aesthetic experience. Archive boxes, small originals, and biographical traces condense into an exhibition situation that not only informs but sharpens the gaze.

Liselotte Bombitzki: Color, layer, and painterly tension

For Liselotte Bombitzki, painting stands for dynamics, materiality, and layering. Her works combine gestural freedom with careful elaboration; egg tempera, pigments, and glazing techniques belong to her craft repertoire. In her artistic attitude, abstraction and representational precision meet. The result is a painting that makes color an experienced living process.

Christine Engel-Wiethüchter: Versatility between design and visual arts

Christine Engel-Wiethüchter brings an unusually broad education in painting, illustration, graphic design, typography, and three-dimensional design. This combination of artistic and design practice shapes a view of form, space, and visual language that becomes particularly fruitful in an exhibition about women's artist archives. Here, not only the work is in the foreground, but also the journey to it. ([cew-art.de](https://www.cew-art.de/biography?utm_source=openai))
