Sean Scully
In seinen großformatigen Gemälden schichtet Sean Scully Farben übereinander zu opulenten Gemälden. Meist ist die Bildkomposition streng in vertikale und horizontale Streifen unterteilt, der Farbauftrag hingegen ist gestisch und emotional. Dabei entstehen mit den Walls of Light, poetische Farb-Wälle von großer physischer Wucht, kraftvoll und durchlässig zugleich. Der Katalog zur Ausstellung in der Langen Foundation widmet sich der Musikalität von Scullys abstrakten Kompositionen und deren Spiel mit der Kraft der Farbe. Das Spektrum reicht dabei von filigranen Papierarbeiten der späten 1960er-Jahre, über seine raumgreifenden Gemälde bis hin zu den monumentalen Stahl- und Eisenskulpt...

Tony Cragg
Tony Cragg is one of the most significant and boldest sculptors of the present day. His work is characterised by a surprising and immense richness of formal inventions that also manifests itself in his drawings since the 1980s ndash; perceptional metamorphoses of the objective world, of landscape and the figure. His first Early Forms were produced in the 1980s. They were developed from a skin that pushes in dramatically, twist dynamically and ambiguously recalls early forms of development. They are sculptures of amazing suppleness ndash; also in the group of works that revolve around the human face and its transformations. In doing so, the concepts of material and energy are given particular...
Sean Scully
Sean Scully, one of the most important abstract artists of our time, allows conflict to be carried out in his works?conflict between structure and emotion, body and spirit, impulsivity and reflection. The Irish-American painter has been reinterpreting abstract art since the 1960s, not as a purely formal exploration of color, form, planes, structure, body, and light, but as a medium whose means of expression is tied to external and internal moods, literary influences, and physical experiences. Scully has articulated this attitude in many lectures, interviews, and texts, which comprise the starting point for the exhibition 'Vita Duplex'. With more than one hundred illustrations, the eponymous catalogue provides a comprehensive look at the artist?s visual oeuvre, as well as his world of ideas, and defines its place in the history of abstract painting.00Exhibition: Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, Germany (24.03- 05.08.2018) / LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur, Münster, Germany (Spring 2019).

Silvia Bächli: Shift
Silvia Bächli from Switzerland (*1956) is one of the most renowned draftswomen in the world.In her subtle works and the staging of them, she reflects not only on her medium, but also again and again on how drawings interact in space.In the exhibition Shift at the Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, the artist is showing works on paper as well as small sculptures for the first time, along with a wall installation developed in cooperation with Eric Hattan.She thus addresses not only drawing as a way of translating perceptions into atmospheres, but also the relationship between head and body, perception and appearance, found object and artistic intervention, single work and group of works, the experience of space and two-dimensionality.The accompanying publication presents these multifaceted interactions.English and German text.Accompanies the exhibition 'Silvia Bächli: Shift', 5 Jul - 29 Sep 2019, Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, Germany.
The Aesthetics of Mythmaking in German Postwar Culture
Myths are a central part of our reality. But merely debunking them lets us forget why they are created in the first place and why we need them. André Fischer draws on key examples from German postwar culture, from novelists Hans Henny Jahnn and Hubert Fichte, to sculptor and performance artist Joseph Beuys, and filmmaker Werner Herzog, to show that mythmaking is an indispensable human practice in times of crisis. Against the background of mythologies based in nineteenth-century romanticism and their ideological continuation in Nazism, fresh forms of mythmaking in the narrative, visual, and performative arts emerged as an aesthetic paradigm in postwar modernism. Boldly rewriting the cultural...
Permission to Laugh
Permission to Laugh explores the work of three generations of German artists who, beginning in the 1960s, turned to jokes and wit in an effort to confront complex questions regarding German politics and history. Gregory H. Williams highlights six of them—Martin Kippenberger, Isa Genzken, Rosemarie Trockel, Albert Oehlen, Georg Herold, and Werner Büttner—who came of age in the mid-1970s in the art scenes of West Berlin, Cologne, and Hamburg. Williams argues that each employed a distinctive brand of humor that responded to the period of political apathy that followed a decade of intense political ferment in West Germany. Situating these artists between the politically motivated art of 196...
Everyone is an artist.
In 13 Kapiteln bieten die Ausstellung und der dazugehörige Katalog einen tiefgreifenden Einblick in das kosmopolitische Denken von Joseph Beuys, wie es sich in seinen Aktionen manifestiert, die in Form von Videoprojektionen und Fotografien präsentiert werden. Denn dort – als handelnde, sprechende und sich bewegende Figur – untersuchte Beuys die zentrale und radikale Idee seines erweiterten Kunstbegriffs: »Jeder Mensch ist ein Künstler«. Das Ziel seines universalistischen Ansatzes war es, die Gesellschaft von Grund auf zu erneuern. Bis heute ist sein Einfluss in künstlerischen und politischen Diskursen spürbar. In der Ausstellung treten zeitgenössische Künstler*innen neben Ve...
