Awakening curiosity through art and knowledge through curiosity. Emotions bring color into our lives, just as pictures do. They influence our minds and help us to retain or process emotional memories. Thus, art can touch us emotionally, make us think, or even fail to reach our emotional intelligence in the first place. In any case, looking at works moves us and arouses our curiosity. On 07.10. the Pashmin Art Gallery Hamburg showed selected artists in their group exhibition Emotions. The following is an excerpt from the opening speech by Dr. Peter Schütt: “All the artists in the exhibition Emotionen are representatives of contemporary art, they come from three different continents, from Europe, America and Asia, and four different countries, from Germany, the USA, Iran and Azerbaijan. All of them are international and globally connected, they are modern but not fashionable, they have references to Pop Art, which they do not want to be understood in a populist but in a popular way.
