Translation of newspaper article from the Berlin tabloid: The BZ:

Gallerist Lenka Clayton exhibits her neighbours Art!

"Show Me What's Hanging Over Your Sofa!"

"What that's supposed to be art?" This is a question that Lenka Clayton, 23, hears regularly when her neighbours in Kopenhagener Stra_e come into her gallery. It gave her an idea: Why not exhibit the art that her neighbours have in their homes? Lenka Clayton was surprised by the positive reception to her question, altogether 71 people took part - lending almost 100 art works, including children�s scribbles, grandparents memories and, of course, the obligatory German Deer. Adelheid Jackel, 35, donated an embroidered psalm from her grandmother. She loved the idea of bringing a private living room into a gallery. Another lender is Jakob K�hn, 31. He is separating himself from an oil painting by his Grandfather for the exhibition. So that the walls of Prenzlauerberg are not completely empty, there is a small sign for each participant that says "This artwork currently hangs in the Gallery Luna international".
