Today I was delighted to present the Kurt Vonnegut memorial wall I created to a group of American visitors from the BALL STATE UNIVERSITY, Muncie U.S.A. They were visiting Dresden to accompany a traveling exhibition to Vonnegut's work that they had developed which was opened last night in the city library. It was very moving to be in the same space were Vonnegut spent the night of the bombing of Dresden on the 13th of February 1945 with such knowledgeable enthusiasts of his work. It was also the first time I was able to visit the work since its reconstruction after the floods in Dresden last year.
