Achim Borchardt-Hume: curator

Where can we find you on a rainy Sunday afternoon?

Dr Achim Borchardt-Hume, Chief Curator Whitechapel Gallery Most likely at home. If it should be really rainy I might be watching Fawlty Towers with my children, you know the one...

Do you ever get homesick -- what is your most German retreat in London or the UK?

Achim Borchardt-Hume Not so much homesick but there are some things I miss such as freshly drafted Kölsch, Reibekuchen and Glühwein on a Christmas Market, Carneval in Cologne, all things Rhineland I possibly spent a lot of time getting away from. Looking at Gerhard Richter's Cage paintings at Tate Modern is a curiously German experience for me.
