Curator Mailin Haberland gives a guided tour through the exhibition Margit Palme and Double Wall Project: Ulrike Müller.
Confident, expressive female figures are the protagonists in Margit Palme’s (1939–2025) graphic works. Her aquatints on paper were created over a period of six decades and are characterised by precise linework and a limited color palette. Her work is primarily concerned with the depiction of women, deploying a colour palette that, from the late 1960s onwards, increasingly aligned with the emerging aesthetics of Pop Art.
The murals Paper Body (ghost), and Paper Body (pointer) by artist Ulrike Müller (both 2023) are temporary monumentalizations of two small-scale collages, which, enlarged in keeping with the scale of the architecture, were transferred to the wall as colored surfaces. On the occasion of the solo exhibition Monument to My Paper Body by Ulrike Müller (December 9, 2023 – August 18, 2024), the Double Wall Projects series (2004–08), initiated by Harald Kunde, was revived. In this series, artists were invited annually to activate the two monumental walls of the museum as a space for artistic intervention.
