The Sweetness of Doing Nothing

In close collaboration with the exhibition designer Lukas Schulz, Annette Jacobs created, curated and organised the exhibition “The Sweetness of Doing Nothing” for contemporary illustration at the NRW Forum. Her focus was on the illustration of the key visual, the design of the media as well as the concept and artistic direction of the exhibition.

The title of the exhibition emphasizes the joys and lightness of idleness. 26 illustrators from North Rhine-Westphalia were invited to deal creatively with this topic. The exhibition highlights the diversity of contemporary illustration in all its styles. In keeping with the theme, the artworks are printed on the fabric of folding chairs.
