	Cyprus “Think in copper” is the motto that the Kux couple used for the current edition of their art postcards. During their stay on the island of Cyprus, other themes were also influential: Cyprus has a border! Cyprus has been and continues to be a crossroads of cultures, religions, and nationalities. Cyprus boasts magnificent landscapes and... many colorful fish in the beautifully stunning waters of the Mediterranean sea. You can find some impressions on YouTube at @KuxArt. Enjoy!
	Krakow, Gdansk In preparation, Birgit and Klaus Kux explored all details for their visit to Gdansk and Krakow. However, planned activities mixed with spontaneous art decisions, which you can watch in two videos on the YouTube channel @KuxArt. Further, the artistic project pyramid is slowly but surely progressing towards completion.
	Study trip to Switzerland The artistic work on the "Pyramid" is slowly but steadily approaching its peak. In search of the world's greatest pyramid, according to Kux's loose definition, a study trip to Switzerland was a must for the couple. The Matterhorn exceeded all expectations in terms of its radiance. Other destinations included the cities of Chur, Bern, and Zurich.
	Doha (Qatar) It was not a "Trip to Tunisia 1914" (Klee, Macke, Moilliet), but nonetheless, traveling continues to set new benchmarks and push the boundaries of what is achievable in art. This was evident during Kux's visit to Doha (Qatar), in April 2023. Birgit, his wife, captured some amazing photos, while Kux himself brought two "pyramids" to the heart of the city. Both extend their gratitude to Doha for the warm hospitality. A few impressions from the journey can be found here, and two additional short films can be explored in the "pyramid".
	Island of Sal In January 2023, Birgit and Klaus Kux spent a few days on the Cape Verde island of Sal. The geologically impressive area offered great opportunities for photography. They talked to many residents of the island and it was again very interesting to learn about the challenges of the people at a particular intersection of cultures.
	Florence and the eternal question: What is Art? After many years, Kux returned to Florence in the fall of 2022. Florance was the workplace of artists who have lived up to their role model function. However, this visit was different, as he attempted to interweave some of his ideas with those of the "classics." This resulted in further small film collages, which perhaps amusingly point to epoch-making developmental steps.
	London Paddington After about a year of work on the "Pyramid," Kux is able to determine a certain intermediate status. The overall work of art is developing according to his ideas. The planned projects in public spaces are being realized. However, the course of the artwork also allows for reacting to spontaneous events. This happened during his last study trip to London, as the death of Queen Elizabeth II deeply moved him.
	Start of the Pyramid In January 2022, the "Pyramid" made its way back to Tenerife. At this point it was planned to show a photo of the summit of Teide, the highest mountain in Spain. However, unfortunately, the circumstances were a bit difficult this time, so the artwork was installed on the harbor pier of Adeje. This resulted in a completely different visual relationship, as Teide is now very small in the background.
	Design of roundabout B180 Altenburg Kux dealt with his design for the design of a roundabout on the B180 in Altenburg. Historical city views, a reference to the card game "Skat," as well as a symbolic connection to the roundabout in Callenberg form the content-related approaches.
	Pyramid In the fall of 2021, Kux stayed with his wife in Gran Canaria. Against the backdrop of current events and knowing the history of the island, Kux chose this place, referred to by him as a so-called power place, to start another work of art. „Pyramid“ Using almost boundless formal means, he embarks on a poetic journey through an art space and establishes connections between the past, present, and future.
	Symphony IX - The Simple Things Currently, Kux is focusing on the visual aspect of his work as a high school art teacher. Videos with the subtitle "Identities" are being integrated into the overall work of art "Symphony IX - The Simple Things".
	Symphony IX - The Simple Things Kux recognizes that the world is going through significant changes, with a focus on the increasing digitization of society and the importance of sustainable environmental practices.< As a result of these developments, he decided to embark on a new project: creating another complete work of art called "Symphony IX - The Simple Things". The planned work will feature many short art films depicting everyday life. But what does "everyday life" really mean? That remains to be seen, so stay tuned.
	Rückblick auf vergangene Projekte After successfully completing the comprehensive artwork "in dialog" under rapidly changing conditions in 2020, Kux used the first months of 2021 to look back on past projects. Additionally, the Museum hall of kux art continues to be completed, particularly the section on mail art from the 1990s.
	Time travel and fear Kux's interest was exclusively focused on art and no anti-state activities could be proven against him. Moreover, the Stasi never really understood what mail art was. In January 1989, the surveillance was discontinued. Kux is aware of the names of the people who carried out the surveillance. Nevertheless, he has drawn a clear line under this period.
	Time Travel The image on the left makes a clear statement. However, this stamp impression takes us back to the time between 1983 and 1990 and to the GDR (East Germany). During this time, Kux was active in the mail art scene scene. He maintained art contacts in over 20 countries around the world. As a result, Kux was under surveillance by the Ministry of State Security of the GDR for 7 years. This tension, however, was the origin of his great passion for ART! Please find impressions from this time in the hall of kuxart.
	In dialogue \| 在对话中 The comprehensive artwork "In dialogue" by Klaus Kux becomes a witness to an epochal change. 克劳斯·库克斯（Klaus Kux）的“对话中”艺术作品见证了时代的变化。
	Visit of the new Bauhaus Museum in Dessau Kux visited the New Bauhaus Museum in Dessau, historical sites in Torgau and Aislingen (Donau), and Bitterfeld to collect materials in the last few weeks. Bitterfeld, a nearly forgotten place today, had significant importance for the development of art in the GDR. The "old" Kulturpalast Bitterfeld played a major role in this regard.
	The final entry? China 2019 DThe small watercolor painting symbolically illustrates the final entry in the art projects of the last 10 years. This marks the completion of a significant phase of Kux's artistic work, primarily focused on creating Gesamtkunstwerke, while continuing to expand the "hall of Kux-art" museum. Now, new and exciting themes await! If all goes well, Klaus Kux plans to explore new cultural circles, incorporating photography, video, history, and elements of Fluxus/Action Art into his future projects.
	100 years since the end of World War I On November 11, 2018, as part of the commemorative event "100 Years End of World War I", Kux presented his art at the Museum of the City of Lichtenstein (Daetz-Centrum). This marked the end of his four-year total and process art project "Symphony VIII - Memory".
	Scottland 2018 In July 2018, Kux traveled to Scotland. He visited Edinburgh, the Scottish Parliament, Glasgow, Stirling, Musselburgh, and of course, Loch Ness. Although he did not see "Nessie", he was very impressed by the sights and the people who live their culture. Once again, he collected numerous documents for his Gesamtkunstwerk "Symphony VIII - Remembrance". Representatively, his visit to Rosebank cemetery in Edinburgh should be mentioned, a memorial site for the Gretna disaster in 1915.

	Visit to the front lines of World War I in France. On Easter weekend 2018, Birgit and Klaus Kux visited Noyon in France. Noyon is worth seeing, the people are very friendly, and the architecture is typically French. However, the history of this city was also shaped by the events of World War I, as the front line ran through here. Traces of these battles can still be clearly seen on some buildings and on the cathedral. For Kux, it was more than just a tourist trip. Birgit and Klaus Kux also walked several kilometers of the former front line. They laid flowers at the French-German war cemetery in Thiescourt. These are moments in life that one never forgets! The artwork "Symphony VIII - Remembrance" from 2014 to 2018 is thus coming to an end.
	Cordoba 2018 The first art trip in the "Year of Silence" took Kux to Cordoba, the third largest city in Andalusia (Spain). In a sensitive contemplation of the alleys of the old town or when visiting the Mezquita-Cathedral, he reflected on processes of change. You can see an art photo series in the museum hall of kux-art.
	Riga 2017 At the end of 2017, the art trip went eastward to Riga, the capital of Latvia. The varied history of this city can be read in detail in the cityscape. Kux was also impressed by the friendliness of the people and the peaceful coexistence of different nationalities. The locals smiled when Kux applied his "ancient" knowledge of Russian or tried out simple words in Latvian. You can find some impressions of Riga here. As part of his total work of art Symphony VIII - Memory, Kux also visited the war cemetery and laid flowers in silent commemoration. Peace is the greatest good of human beings.
	Vasco da Gama In October 2017, Kux added some puzzle pieces to his artworks again, this time in Portugal (Portimão and Lisbon). Through the study of appropriate literature and meditation in nature (impressions here), he reflected on the past, present, and, if all goes well, new horizons.
	2017 - Ten years ago Exactly 10 years after having completed the works on "Roman Symphony II," Kux visited well-known sites of the 2007 tour, though this time by train. This tour had a rather contemplative character. Unbelievable but true, both in Trento and in Reggio Emilia he met those associates in the communities who he already knew from the tour back in 2007. Another amazing supplement to the works was added in Rosenheim. The structures of Kux' Whole Works of Art form links. These are parts of the gigantic puzzle as well as the impressions of the voyage melt and create a new artistic approach.
	Bullfighting in Seville In the summer of 2017, Kux stayed in southern Spain. The photo shows his rather critical view near the bullring of Seville. You can find some impressions of the Cathedral of Seville here
