The Museum of East Asian Art invites you to an art event with the Chinese ink artist Jianfeng Pan in the foyer on KölnTag, November 6, 2025 from 2 to 8 pm. Visitors can watch him at work - and, if they wish, have their portrait painted in a few strokes of ink for his new artwork.
Using ink and brush on paper, he creates a large-format hanging scroll in the style of his "Facebook" series, which is also on display in the foyer. One hundred or more faces form a full-surface composition and draw a collective social portrait of Cologne's museum visitors.
Until November 9, 2025, the Museum of East Asian Art is showing the special exhibition "Ink Walks. Contemporary works on paper by Jianfeng Pan, 2014-2024". More information at: www.mok.koeln
Live Facebook Portrait Painting with Jianfeng Pan
On KölnTag (6 November 2025), from 2 to 8 p.m., the Museum of East Asian Art invites visitors to an art event realized with Chinese ink artist Jianfeng Pan in the foyer.

With ink and brush on paper, Pan will create a large-scale hanging scroll in the style of his "Facebook" series, which is concurrently on display in the foyer. A hundred or more faces will form a surface-filling composition, generating a collective portrait of Cologne's museum visitors.
The special exhibition "Ink Roamings. Contemporary Works on Paper by Jianfeng Pan, 2014-2024" is on display at the Museum of East Asian Art until November 9, 2025. For more information visit www.mok.koeln.
