Michele di Menna works in the fields of performance, choreography and music, sculpture and collage. She often combines them into a structure in which she herself acts as the leading actor. Props and videos of these performances remain as not only temporary works. In an ironic and sometimes psychedelic manner, she deals with existential themes around images of women, home and different life concepts.

The motifs of the three etchings, which the artist has made exclusively available to the Kunstverein Lingen, are taken from a website that offers daily updated personal horoscopes. Michele di Menna has greatly enlarged and further distorted the attached images until only shadowy figurations can be guessed at. This processuality characterises her works in a lasting way: in the 2012 exhibition Based in Berlin, she associates the solidity of the human body with the viscous mud, which only acquires its final form in the process of drying.

Willem de Rooij (born 1969 in Bewerwijk, Netherlands, lives in Berlin) has presented his artistic work in solo exhibitions at the Nationalgalerie in Berlin, the Kunstverein in Munich and the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt am Main and in group exhibitions at PS 1, MoMa New York. Since 2006 Willem de Rooij has been Professor of Fine Arts at the Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main.

Since 2004, Willem de Rooij has been incorporating artworks or installations by other artists from museum collections into his own work. In 2010, for example, the exhibition Intolerance in the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin showed eighteen paintings by the painter Melchior de Hondecoeter and juxtaposed them with feathered ceremonial objects from 18th century Hawaii.

His annual gift was created especially for the Lingen Kunstverein and shows an enlarged graphic of the current distribution of seats in the Lingen city council. Present in such a way, it once again illustrates the current balance of power on the one hand, but on the other hand it also conveys an aesthetically perceptible image through the colour ratios.

The artist Nel Aerts (born 1987 in Turnhout, Belgium, lives in Antwerp) studied at the Heilig-Grafinstitute in Turnhout and completed her Master in Fine Arts at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. She has presented her work in solo exhibitions at, among others, the Carl Freedman Gallery in London and the Plus One Gallery in Antwerp, as well as at Museum M in Leuven, and has participated in group exhibitions at, among others, the NICC in Brussels, the Kunsthalle Wien and the Astrup Fearnley Museum in Oslo.

Nel Aerts works in the media of painting, drawing, sculpture, performance and film. In many of her works, the artist often takes a self-portrait as her starting point, but it is rather that of a certain feeling in a certain situation than that of an outward appearance.  Her annual gifts also show situations of female protagonists in different situations. They convey not only the respective states of mind but also, as it were, the astonishment or amazement in self-reflection, in looking back at oneself in this emotion.
