Like a résumé?

This article does, in a few places, rather resemble a résumé.

Each of the listed "Art installations in public places" and "Solo exhibitions" should be referenced; those that can't be referenced should be removed or commented out. (Once it is equipped with a reference, an item can later be restored.)

I don't understand the meaning of "public places" here. As an example, "CTcon business consultancy, Bonn [and] Frankfurt, Germany". Is this shorthand for something like "The facades of both the Bonn and the Frankfurt office buildings of CTcon (a management consultancy)"? If it means something else, then how can the public view/experience this pair of installations?

"Group exhibitions" can and I think should be reduced in number. Keep those for which Schumann's contributions got some commentary; perhaps skip those for which the cited source does little or no more than list "Regine Schumann" among several names.

An exhibition will look more significant if it was held in a gallery/museum that itself has an article. The article doesn't have to be in en:Wikipedia; it could be in de:Wikipedia or some other Wikipedia. Template:Ill can help. -- Hoary (talk) 00:42, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rereading the above, I now find it rather misleading. If a claim for having had an exhibition (for example) lacks a reference, then the lack is problematic, but it hardly makes the claim more résumé-ish. And I can comment similarly on claims for installations in "public places" whose public-ness is hard to comprehend ... and so forth. When remarking on résumé-ishness, what I had in mind was the way that this article seems to list a lot of what may be minor exhibitions, minor mentions in books, etc. The result looks like the kind of résumé that's bulked up in order to make a good first impression. This is unfortunate. I'm sure that a lot of the list items in the article are worthwhile and would recommend trimming list items with a scalpel, not a machete. -- Hoary (talk) 23:34, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
