What is the significance of the colon (DoppelPunkt), and why is it the theme of the 2026 Artists Night? Looking at the colon, it consists of two individual dots placed vertically together, conveying an important message. Damyeong Yoo said at a meeting: "The colon symbol is like light and salt. It doesn't shine and season to reveal itself, but to illuminate someone or something."

"Water is." This is our theme for the artists' night, which will take place on June 29 and 30, 2024 in the Orangery Darmstadt. The sentence is a statement, an assertion. Water is indispensable, because without water there is no life. But there is a catch: only a small proportion of the available fresh water is actually usable. In addition, water is distributed unevenly around the world and billions of people have no access to clean water. But the fact is that plants, animals and people need water to live. With the theme "Water is." We want to deal with the importance of water as a resource and use our works of art to stimulate thought, ask questions and encourage hope. The artist night is a unique platform where advanced and professional artists show their art together.
