The unconventional (re)arrangements of Reiche's kinetic works of art are poetic, exciting, amazing, irritating and mad. Since May 2017, several dozens of art machines can be watched in Reiche's Kunstmaschinenhalle, a very special location where they are presented in motion. http://www.kunstmaschinenhalle.de (prior appointment required)
Willi Reiche (born in Germany in 1954) studied History of Art in Bonn. He embarked on his career in 1982 by exhibiting his works of art at numerous individual and collective expositions. In 1990 he gave up his entrepreneurial activity as a manager in a graphic workshop (serigraphic) in favour of art. He has since then been working as a freelance artist. Since 1998 the major topic of his creative output has been the construction of kinetic objects fitted with different motors for indoor as well as outdoor exhibits.
