SUMMARY:Matters of Mind
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Matters of Mind shows several works that Christoph Mueller has worked as an artist and illustrator over the past 15 years. Mueller\, who has dedicated himself to the topic of self-analysis and reflection\, shows in his selection of original drawings his talent for humorous observations and detailed world building. His alter ego “Mighty Millborough” (Millington F. Millborough) lives in his villa “Georgiette” in the small town of Green Valley in the Sassafras County. A diorama of the city\, a map and several comic strips give visitors a very clear introduction to this nostalgic world of the early 20th century. Surrounded by majestic forests\, situated at a small lake\, Millborough sets off to stoll away from his stately villa into episodic comic strips. A walk is not a hike but the impetus for a fantastic\, dreamy journey into the inner world of the artist. Mueller’s protagonist is easily distracted\, dissolves himself and tries to explain to us his personal reality in a humorous way. Occasionally desperate\, he constantly gets confronted with existentialists questions: Millborough’s adventures are stories of confusion\, astonishment\, and caterpillars; Desire\, loneliness and in search for the great all-encompassing secret – if necessary while relaxing in the bathtub. \nIn addition to his own books and comics\, such as The Mighty Millbourogh – Les choses de la vie\, he also created commissioned works such as posters for musicians and festivals\, record or magazine covers and worked for various renowned newspapers and magazines. Most recently\, he designed the front page of The New Yorker – an honor that has so far only been awarded to two other artists from Germany. This pandemic cover is one of the main attractions of his exhibition in the Ludwig Forum Aachen\, since the drawing incorporates important elements of Mueller’s work: Subtle observations of his environment play a significant role and allow the artist to influence new worlds. They serve as an alternative to a critical analysis of the present\, which can sometimes be dark\, as in the free works The Diagram of Universal Insignificance or The Baron of Solitude focusing on their psychoanalytic and epistemological character. \n  \nCurated by Patrick C. Haas & Angela Theisen

SUMMARY:Highlights of the Collection
DESCRIPTION:Or: How images and their cultural meaning are constantly getting updated. \nWhen Peter and Irene Ludwig started to build up their art collection in the 1960s\, the world was shaped by sociopolitical changes\, the focus of which was the USA: In addition to flaring and ever-increasing conflicts\, the civil rights movement succeeded in making its voice heard and shortly afterwards the first positive results were achieved – a process that continues to this day. The theme of rebellion against established and traditional conventions can be found in many of the works in the collection\, which now comprises over 3\,000 pieces in the Ludwig Forum Aachen. The presentation shows a small selection of works that refer directly to North America\, deal with historical moments and are as explosive today as so many years ago. Violence against People of Color is the focus in Jean-Michel Basquiat “Blue Gyp Stock”. Robert Longo asks the question on the United States’ claim to world power and Nadin Ospina reverses the phenomenon of cultural appropriation. \nArtist in the exhibition: John Ahearn\, Jean-Michel Basquiat\, John Coplans\, Erró\, Duane Hanson\, Roy Lichtenstein\, Robert Longo\, Nadin Ospina\, Raymond Pettibon. \n  \ncurated by Patrick C. Haas & Angela Theisen

SUMMARY:Flower Blast
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Thursday\, March 13\, 2020\, 7 pm \nFlower Blast\, Annette Wehrmann’s eponymous work\, invokes the spirit of new beginnings in the early 1970s. A growing women’s movement likewise inspired the art world of the time. Female artists announced an end to modesty and claimed the same respect for themselves in all areas of art that men had always had. They created large-scale sculptures\, staged their naked bodies in videos and performances\, and were provocative in their use of political actions in public spaces. At the same time\, feminist art theorists paved the way for a new appreciation of women’s artistic achievements. \n1970 was also the year that the Neue Galerie – Sammlung Ludwig was founded. This predecessor of the Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst\, one of the world’s most important collections of contemporary art – that of the collector couple Peter and Irene Ludwig – was provided with a permanent location in Aachen. We are taking the anniversary of the institution as an opportunity to subject our collections to reassessment and\, for the first time\, to focus exclusively on female artists in a display of around one hundred works. \n  \nCurated by Annette Lagler and Myriam Kroll\nCuratorial assistance: Marie Gentges

SUMMARY:Highlights of the Collection
DESCRIPTION:The collection of Peter and Irene Ludwig is one of the largest and most important art collections in the world. The Ludwig Forum Aachen houses over 3\,000 works from this collection\, including many works that are not missing in any art history and thus belong to the world memory of 20th century art. Duane Hanson’s hyper-realistic sculpture “Supermarket Lady”\, key works by the Pop Art icons Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein as well as the central pioneers Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper John form the heart of the collection. With their first trip to New York in 1967\, the collector couple’s interest in American art could no longer be stopped. As an expression of an attitude to life of their time\, the Ludwigs were in search of a global concept of art\, a world of their own in the face of prevailing politics and society. Special attention was paid to representational painting and sculpture\, which the exhibition reflects with about 30 main works from Pop Art and Hyperrealism. \nArtists of the exhibition: John de Andrea\, Jim Dine\, Don Eddy\, Richard Estes\, Robert Graham\, Richard Hamilton\, Duane Hanson\, Jasper Johns\, Jeff Koons\, Roy Lichtenstein\, Siegfried Neuenhausen\, Philip Pearlstein\, Mel Ramos\, Robert Rauschenberg\, John Salt\, Andy Warhol. \nCurated by Esther Boehle

SUMMARY:Video archive 06
DESCRIPTION:The founding of the Neue Galerie – Sammlung Ludwig in Aachen 50 years ago\, the predecessor institution of the Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst\, is in a turbulent time. The 1970s were all about change. On the one hand\, the end of the post-war economic boom\, oil crises\, political affairs\, the RAF and the coming to terms with the Nazi past are keeping people on their toes\, while on the other there is an unprecedented consumer and entertainment industry. While some amuse themselves in their spare time\, others take to the streets to protest: against forgetting\, the Vietnam War\, armament and nuclear power – and for more democracy\, women’s rights and social equity. The artists of the time comment on and shape the social upheavals\, including the still quite young video art. Their enemy is\, in particular\, the new mass medium of television\, against which they are creating an alternative program – and this is also part of the complexity of this story – sometimes in cooperation with the public broadcasters. \nArtists of the exhibition: Klaus vom Bruch\, Marcel Odenbach\, Ulrike Rosenbach\, Telewissen\, and Ulay/Abramović. \nCurated by Holger Otten.\nCuratorial assistance: Dominik Bönisch.

SUMMARY:Danielle Dean
DESCRIPTION:In her artistic work\, Danielle Dean grapples with the construction of ethnic\, social\, and gender-specific roles by examining the narratives she finds in political speeches and news items for example\, as well as in advertising and popular culture. The artist focuses in particular on the power structures underlying these narratives\, which lead to the manipulation of thoughts\, feelings\, and social relationships. \nThe artist subverts the visual language of advertising and marketing and transfers it to an artistic space where the line between fact and fiction is blurred. The starting point for her video installations\, collages\, and drawings are certain objects\, events\, and locations which Danielle Dean uses to demonstrate that certain forms of invasion\, violence\, and surveillance operate across geographical and temporal boundaries. \nWith Trigger Torque\, Danielle Dean (born 1982 in Huntsville\, Alabama\, USA) presents her first exhibition in Germany at the Ludwig Forum for International Art. \nThe British-American artist received her BA from Central Saint Martins in London (2006) and MFA from California Institute of the Arts (2012) in Valencia. She has been a fellow of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Independent Study Program in New York and a resident at Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and Rijksakademie van Beeldene Kunsten in Amsterdam. She has held solo exhibitions at The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (2018)\, 47 Canal\, New York (2018)\, Commonwealth & Council\, Los Angeles (2017) and Studio Museum in Harlem\, New York (2016). Works by the artist can be found in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York City\, Hammer Museum\, Los Angeles\, The Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Danielle Dean lives and works in San Diego\, California.  \nCurated by Holger Otten\nCuratorial assistance: Dominik Bönisch \n  \nExhibition view: Danielle Dean\, True Red Ruin (Elmina Castle)\, 2017\, 2-channel video installation\, standees.

SUMMARY:Louisa Clement
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Thursday\, September 26\, 2019\, 7 pm \nWhat defines a person in the digital age? The optimization and manipulation of the body through technical and medical interventions raises questions about human identity\, which Louisa Clement explores in her artistic work. Her photographs\, videos\, installations\, sculptures and virtual reality works reflect our daily reality in a seductive and at the same time inscrutable way. The focus mostly lies on the body itself – fragmented\, anonymized and alienated\, it becomes the symbol of a “new human being” in a digitalized world. Clement’s works are the results of an exciting interchange of virtuality and reality\, absence and presence. \nLouisa Clement (*1987 in Bonn) graduated from the Düsseldorf Art Academy in 2015 as a master student of Andreas Gursky. She can already look back on numerous solo and group exhibitions in well-known museums\, galleries and exhibition venues. The presentation\, conceived by the Sprengel Museum Hannover in cooperation with the Ludwig Forum Aachen\, is her first museum-based survey exhibition showing around 130 works. \nThe accompanying publication (published by Hatje Cantz Verlag) examines the various facets of Louisa Clement’s work and the associated socio-political discourses. \n  \nCurated by: Andreas Beitin\, Esther Boehle \n  \nLouisa Clement\, portrait\, 2016 / heads\, 2014-15 (Installationsansicht Louisa Clement 2019\, Sprengel Museum Hannover)\, Holz\, Plexiglas\, Plakatwechsler / Inkjetprints\, 250 x 138 x 18 cm / je ca. 37 x 28 cm\, Studio Louisa Clement / Sammlung der Stiftung Nantesbusch\, © Louisa Clement / Foto: Louisa Clement \nLouisa Clement\, Mork 2\, 2016\, Bronze: 90 x 25 x 25 cm\, C-Print: 90 x 45 cm\, Studio Louisa Clement\, © Louisa Clement / Foto: Louisa Clement \nLouisa Clement\, transformationsschnitt\, 2015 (Installationsansicht Sprengel Museum Hannover\, 2019)\, Glas\, Maße variable\, Studio Louisa Clement\, © Louisa Clement / Foto: Louisa Clement \nLouisa Clement\, Avatar 4\, 2016\, Inkjetprint\, 115 x 86 cm\, © Louisa Clement \nLouisa Clement\, fracture 9\, 2016\, Inkjetprint\, 45 x 37 cm\, Art’Us Collectors’ Collective e.V.\, © Louisa Clement

SUMMARY:Observing Nature
DESCRIPTION:The collection presentation displays an extensive array of nature\, which is constantly being reexamined as a subject matter of art. Against the background of the performance art and concept art of the 1960s\, artists such as Robert Smithson\, Hamish Fulton\, Richard Long\, and Michael Heizer created a completely novel figurative relationship between artistic work and nature\, which is now no longer merely depicted\, as in landscape painting or photography\, but instead constitutes the artwork as designed nature. \nIn numerous documentary works located at the intersection of land art\, performance art\, and concept art\, nature is portrayed as a place of longing to be explored. Motifs from the Romantic period are adopted here\, such as those in the work of Aachen artist duo Barbara and Michael Leisgen or the British artist Hamish Fulton\, who predominantly present the secluded landscape as the landscape of the soul. \nAs an antithesis to the figurative art that the exhibition mainly focuses on\, abstract works by Gerhard Richter\, Lee Lozano\, Klaus Rinke\, Robert Morris\, and Ron Cooper address natural phenomena that—playfully and with scientific mathematical precision—negotiate either nature or distant cosmic worlds\, the subject of Nancy Graves’ works. \nKuratiert von Dr. Christian Haring

SUMMARY:AIS³ –  A light and sound sculpture by Tim Otto Roth
DESCRIPTION:The light and sound sculpture AIS³ [aiskju:b] by Tim Otto Roth—444 illuminated speakers that make the processes of the “weirdest telescope in the world” tangible on a small scale—shows how the meeting of art and science can be both sensory and enriching for our perception. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory measures minimal movements of light in the total darkness of the Antarctic ice that are evidence of the existence of “ghost particles”—weakly interacting neutrinos. [aiskju:b] nables these particles\, billions of which pass through the human body each second\, to be sensorially experienced. However\, [aiskju:b] is much more than just a different presentation of scientific findings\, it is a new interdisciplinary art practice: [aiskju:b] is simultaneously a work of art and a basic psychoacoustic experiment. It turns the space itself into a sound generator in which visitors can move freely and immerse themselves in the emerging sound space. \nOver the past year\, the conceptual artist and composer Tim Otto Roth and a project team from the RWTH led by Professor Christopher Wiebusch built the light and sound installation [aiskju:b] at the RWTH. After spectacular presentations in Berlin and Munich\, AIS³ [aiskju:b] can now be experienced in Aachen for the first time. \nAIS³ [aiskju:b] was realized in cooperation with the III. Physikalisches Institut B of RWTH Aachen University. \nAccompanying the exhibition is the thematic presentation of the collection Observing Nature\, which will explore nature as a subject matter in art from 1960 to the present. \nIdea: Andreas Beitin\nCurated by Christian Haring \n  \nThe realization of the installation was made possible by the generous support of the following partners:

SUMMARY:Video archive 05
DESCRIPTION:From the very beginning of video art\, artists were choosing various objects to describe\, examine\, or interact with\, both in front of and by using the camera. Sometimes the focus is the relationship between subject and object\, sometimes it’s the relationship between art and everyday objects. For example\, John Baldessari said of Folding Hat\, a video work he produced in 1970–71 for cameraman and gallery owner Gerry Schum’s now legendary Düsseldorf video gallery: “I was thinking of transience\, changeability\, fashion\, and of the fact that the distinction between a commodity and an art object is a question of intention.” In any case\, many artists were attracted by the technical possibilities of measuring and capturing objects in their temporal space\, but also of changing them and linking them with other things and thoughts. This is how the video art pioneers invented the videographic readymade. \nArtists of the exhibition: John Baldessari\, Klaus vom Bruch\, Nancy Graves\, Terry Fox\, and Jacques Louis Nyst.\nCurated by Holger Otten \n \n  \nNarrating Video Archives\nVideo art from NRW—Collections introduce themselves\nSince the late 1960s\, North Rhine-Westphalia has been one of the most vibrant regions of the artistic avant-garde\, especially video art\, which is still young. Important collections were created here early on―with a special focus on the contemporary regional video art scene―that still exist today. They provide a unique insight into the history of early video art in Germany. \nThe screening program and the series of events Narrating Video Archives present some of the institutions with the most significant video art collections: the Kunstmuseum Bonn\, the Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst Aachen\, the Museum Folkwang in Essen\, the imai Foundation in Dusseldorf\, and the Videonale Bonn. Each collection has its own focus. The video programs specially compiled for the program series each present a chosen topic\, and the screenings are accompanied by introductions and lectures. \nNarrating Video Archives is a Videonale Bonn initiative in cooperation with the Kunstmuseum Bonn\, the Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst Aachen\, the Museum Folkwang in Essen\, and the imai Foundation in Düsseldorf \n \nProgram\n“Narrating Video Archives” \n  \nScreening-Program at the Ludwig Forum \n26.06. – 28.07.2019\ntechnik visionen with works by Freya Hattenberger\, Lynn Hershman Leeson\, Bernd Kracke\, Julie Kuzminska\, Stefan Panhans\, and Mateusz Sadowski\, curated by  Tasja Langenbach\, Videonale – Festival für Video und zeitbasierte Kunstformen\, Bonn \n30.07. – 01.09.2019\nSelbstwahrnehmung/Fremdwahrnehmung – Körperlichkeit in der frühen Videokunst with works by Denis Beaubois\, Dieter Froese\, Astrid Heibach\, Branda Miller\, Dennis Oppenheim\, and  Friederike Pezold\, curated by Max Rauschenberg\, Kunstmuseum Bonn \n03.09. – 29.09.2019\nWhen love is wrong I don‘t want to be right with works by Gerd Belz\, Kain Karawahn\, Franziska Megert\, Klaus Osterwald\, and VA Wölfl\, curated by Dr Anna Fricke\, Museum Folkwang\, Essen \n  \n

SUMMARY:Wermke / Leinkauf
DESCRIPTION:Opening  Fr. 12th May 2019\, 7 pm \nThe expansive installation shows two opposing\, brightly flickering LED panels\, accompanied by the deafening sound of soccer fan chants that lead into a fascinating visual space for the viewer: low-resolution scenes change from take to take in a rapid rhythm. Crowds from political protests and soccer stadiums are juxtaposed\, dissolving into a sea of color made of coarse image textures. The installation addresses a highly topical phenomenon: Whether at the Occupy movement in Spain\, the Istanbul Gezi Park revolt in the summer of 2013\, the unrest at Maidan Square in Kiev or\, most recently\, the riots in Chemnitz\, organized soccer fans\, so-called Ultras\, were involved. The installation by the Berlin based artist duo Wermke / Leinkauf is a powerful visual presentation of the sociopolitical potential of these groups\, which have existed since the 1970s and currently constitute the fastest growing youth subculture in Germany. \nCurator: Andreas Beitin \nProject management: Christian Haring \nThe exhibition is generously sponsored by the Stiftung Kunstfonds\, NRW Kultursekretariat and Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen. \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Thrill of Deception
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Thursday\, February 21\, 2019\, 7 pm \nWith 280\,000 visitors\, the exhibition in Munich was a real blockbuster. In February 2019\, the exhibition – a collaboration between the Kunsthalle Munich and the Ludwig Forum for International Art – is coming to Aachen. From February 22 to June 30\, 2019\, and with around 100 works\, it will offer an overview of appearance and illusion in art\, from antiquity to the latest virtual reality artworks. \nIn contrast to the exhibition in Munich\, the Ludwig Forum will focus more on contemporary art\, right through to immersive works that use digital technology to immerse viewers in artistic virtual worlds. Numerous works from the collection of Peter and Irene Ludwig will contextualize and expand the exhibition. \nThe exhibition Thrill of Deception shows how artistic deception continually re-emerges\, readjusting to the shifting parameters of truth and lies\, existence and appearance\, reality and deception\, illusion and reality. In the 21st century\, the age of Photoshop\, fake news\, and social media bots\, the criteria formerly used to identify deception have been supplemented by hybrid forms such as “alternative truths” and “fictional reality\,” which contribute to a general sense of uncertainty. As a result\, it is almost impossible for modern humans to determine the truthfulness of this flood of images and information and thus to avoid being manipulated. \nIt is important here to refine our sense of objectivity and hone our senses. To this end\, the exhibition Thrill of Deception is supplemented by a rich event and education program that aims to stimulate a highly relevant discussion about the profound changes in the digital age and our society. \nArtists in the Exhibition:  \nLaurie Anderson & Hsin-Chien Huang\, Tim Berresheim\, Manuel Boden\, Louis-Léopold Boilly\, Mark Boyle\, Julius Brauckmann\, Cornelis Brisé\, Franz Buchholz\, Henri Cadiou\, Vija Celmins\, Oliver Cieslik & Barbara Schenk\, Chuck Close\, Edwaert Collier\, Daniel Crooks\, Matthew Day Jackson\, Jacques de Gheyn II\, John De Andrea\, Thomas Demand\, Melchior d´Hondecoeter\, Jan Dibbets\, Jim Dine\, Pierre Ducordeau\, Sam Durant\, Don Eddy\, Anna Ehrenstein\, Rainer Eisch\, Mona el Gammal\, Richard Estes\, De Scott Evans\, Firma Kraus\, Walchenbach & Peltzer\, Daniel Firman\, Sylvie Fleury\, Ceal Floyer\, Will Fredo\, Tom Früchtl\, Pierre Gilou\, Robert Gober\, Duane Hanson\, Jeppe Hein\, Oliver Herring\, Lynn Hershman\, Leeson\, Bastian Hoffmann\, Suse Itzel\, Christian Jankowski\, Karl-Heinz Jeiter\, Howard Kanovitz\, Alexander Kluge\, Thomas Lambertz\, Constantin Leonhard\, Auguste & Louis Lumière\, Emmanuel Maignan\, Manufaktur Choux\, Niderviller\, Straßburg\, Lucy McKenzie\, Georges Méliès\, Matthäus Merian d.

SUMMARY:The Invention of the Neue Wilde
DESCRIPTION:Around 1980 they experimented with bold texts\, photographs\, fashion\, performance\, film\, music – and giant canvases. They found their subjects and motifs in the subcultures of large cities\, in the gay scene\, or in the punk and new wave movement. Museums and collectors seized upon the paintings of the Neue Wilde. Coined in Aachen by the founding director of the Ludwig Forum\, this group label soon became established in the media despite all the differences between the local scenes – and when many of the protagonists were already pursuing individual careers. \nToday\, the Neue Wilde are considered one of the last great artistic movements of the twentieth century. The success story of a young generation of German artists\, whose works were perceived internationally to be a revival of figurative painting\, has turned into a myth of art history. \nBesides the large-format paintings from the collection of Peter and Irene Ludwig\, the exhibition will show numerous works and documents from the experimental early years of the artists and their milieu. They convincingly demonstrate the sheer diversity of the sources out of which this painting drew its exuberant energy. \nArtists: Hans Peter Adamski\, Peter Bömmels\, Werner Büttner\, Luciano Castelli\, Walter Dahn\, Jiÿí Georg Dokoupil\, Rainer Fetting\, G. L. Gabriel-Thieler\, Anne Jud\, Martin Kippenberger\, Helmut Middendorf\, Christa Näher\, Hilka Nordhausen\, Markus Oehlen\, Brigitta Rohrbach\, Salomé\, Bettina Semmer\, Bettina Sefkow\, Claudia Skoda\, Rolf von Bergmann\, Bernd Zimmer\, and others. \nA publication featuring scholarly essays\, interviews\, and historical source texts will be released in winter 2018/2019\, German/English\, ca. 280 pages. \n \n  \n \n  \nCarmen Knoebel\, Martin Kippenberger on drums\, exhibition opening 1st extraordinary event in sound and vision on the theme of time: Elend\, Kippenberger’s office\, Berlin 1979\, © Carmen Knoebel. \nInvitation to the exhibition Mülheimer Freiheit – Die Seefahrt und der Tod\, Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven\, 1981\, © Photo: Mülheimer Freiheit\, Archive Peter Bömmels. \nSalomé / Luciano Castelli\, Salomé (right) at a performance of the band Geile Tiere as supporting act by Nina Hagen\, Deutschlandhalle\, Berlin\, 1982\, Photo: Helmut Metzner © VG Bild-Kunst\, Bonn 2018.

SUMMARY:LuForm Meets RECIPROCITY
DESCRIPTION:With LuForm Meets RECIPROCITY the LuForm. Design Department enters the next round. In cooperation with the design triennial RECIPROCITY with the motto “fragility” in Liège\, various contemporary design positions from Germany and abroad will be on display at the Ludwig Forum for International Art. These do not only deal with the topic of “fragility” on a structural and material level\, but also serve as reflections of our time and inspect political\, social and discourse fields that challenge a conscious approach between design object and the viewer / user. \nIn addition to controversial jewellery designs\, fragile fabrics and ceramics\, various design approaches are also presented\, which in a broader sense are dedicated to the topic of sustainability. Furthermore\, considerations on dealing with city and nature\, the use and influence of social media as well as questions on the subject of gender branding\, time constructions and mental illness find their way into the design drafts. \nLuForm Meets RECIPROCITY\nOpening: Tuesday 02.10.2018\, 7pm\nFree admission! \nDesigners: Anne Büscher\, Hugo Duina\, Camille El-Achkar\, Rachelle Hornesch\, Marco Iannicelli\, Maria J Juchnowska\, Laureline Lê\, Lieke Li\, Johannes Lindner\, Mariya Molotnikova\, Linda Nitsch\, Romina Patt & Eike Töllner\, Lukas Rudig\, Dana Sáez\, Alexander Schul\, Janika Slowik\, Giuditta Vendrame\, Michelle Zwinkels \nIn cooperation with RECIPROCITY Design.liège\, FH Aachen and designmetropole aachen. \nSupported by the Region Aachen.

SUMMARY:Pattern and Decoration
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Thursday\, September 20\, 2018\, 7 pm \nPatchworks and decorative patterns on the one hand and a political-emancipatory claim on the other – the Pattern and Decoration movement combines apparent contradictions. In the mid-1970s\, the movement developed in the USA as one of the last art movements of the 20th century\, brought forward by as many female artists as no other movement before. It was supported\, among others\, by feminist artists such as Joyce Kozloff\, Valerie Jaudon\, Robert Kushner and Miriam Schapiro. In reclaiming fantasy\, color\, variation of forms as well as sensuality\, they radically distinguished themselves from the predominant Minimal Art and Concept Art at that time. The movement questions not only traditional notions of art\, but also addresses broader political and social issues like the position of women\, of Native Americans\, or ethnic minorities in the global art scene. Pattern and Decoration represents an alternative to a male-dominated understanding of art that is globally influenced by the values of Western industrial states. The movement’s political and global aspiration is articulated through an aesthetic of captivating ease and seductive beauty: with works that celebrate sensuality\, fantasy and color and through which social-critically contents\, as well as an immediate lust for life\, are conveyed. \nThe works of this movement have received little attention in Europe so far. The Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst Aachen\, home to the largest public European collection of Pattern and Decoration artworks\, now undertakes a first comprehensive reappraisal and reassessment of the artistic movement through this exhibition and publication project. \nThe exhibition will present about 65 works that demonstrate the movement’s diversity for the very first time in Europe: the spectrum of artistic forms ranges from mosaics influenced by oriental art\, monumental textile collages\, paintings\, and graphic works through to room-sized installations and video performances. More recent works by Polly Apfelbaum\, Christine Streuli\, and Rashid Rana\, among others\, show how the achievements of Pattern and Decoration continue to resonate to this day in terms of both form and content. The movement’s interest in pictorial elements from non-Western art is more topical than ever\, especially in light of the rekindled discussion surrounding a “global art history” – a regular subject negotiated at major art shows like documenta. Moving beyond notorious stigma of “ornament as crime” (Adolf Loos\, 1908)\, it becomes clear that despite all their decorative effects\, ornaments have always been symbolically important and crucial means for expressing worldviews. To this very day\, they still serve artists as a tool to reflect on their own culture and criticize\, for instance\, political systems\, the traditional roles imposed on women\, social conventions and expectations. \nThe publication accompanying the exhibitions will be published in both German and English by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König\, and provides a comprehensive review of the Pattern and Decoration movement based on extensive new scholarly research. It features contributions by Manuela Ammer\, Esther Boehle\, Michael Duncan\, Holger Otten\, and Anne Swartz as well as historical texts by Amy Goldin\, Valerie Jaudon/Joyce Kozloff\, and Harald Szeemann. Edited by Esther Boehle (Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst Aachen) and Manuela Ammer (mumok – Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien). \nArtists of the exhibition: Polly Apfelbaum\, Adriana Czernin\, Brad Davis\, Frank Faulkner\, Tina Girouard\, Dan Hays\, Valerie Jaudon\, Joyce Kozloff\, Robert Kushner\, Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt\, Kim MacConnel\, Rashid Rana\, Miriam Schapiro\, Kendall Shaw\, Christine Streuli\, Ned Smyth\, Lee Wagstaff\, Heike Weber\, Robert Zakanitch\, Joe Zucker \nCurator: Esther Boehle \nCuratorial assistant: Denise Petzold \nSupporters: With generous support of the Peter and Irene Ludwig Foundation\, Terra Foundation for American Art\, Stiftung der Sparda-Bank West \nThe project was initiated by the Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst Aachen and realized in cooperation with the mumok – Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien. Following the venues in Aachen and Vienna\, the exhibition will be on view at the Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art\, Budapest.  \n \n					r\n														Previous\n														Next \nInstallation views\, Pattern and Decoration\, Photos: Ludwig Forum Aachen / Carl Brunn

SUMMARY:Flashes of the Future
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Thursday\, 19th April 2018\, 7 pm \n1968 – No other year in the 20th century is given such a symbolic and iconic status\, no other year is studded with myths\, evokes associations\, viewed with bias\, and kindles emotions. A year in which protests\, upheavals\, and even revolutions took place in numerous countries around the globe: May 1968 stands for international youth and protest cultures in 56 countries\, 22 European ones amongst them\, but also for an art breaking out of its elitist ivory tower – parallel to this\, masses of individuals in the Western world begin to strive for autonomy. It is first through the interaction between students\, intellectuals\, and artists that a cultural revolution capable of disrupting the authoritarian structures of societies in both East and West could take place. Above all\, artists\, declaring the artwork to be obsolete while in part working massively against the art market and a commercially utilizable commodity ‘art’\, contributed significantly to the desires and the imaginative visions of the student movement finding expression in provocative and pithy signs and images and exerting power over reality (“all power to the imagination!”). \nFrom the distance of half a century\, 2018 is the perfect opportunity to take a comprehensive and transdisciplinary look at this key year of the twentieth century (and its place as the midpoint of a decade). The exhibition will show and analyze for the first time the ideas\, actions\, myths\, and self-interpretations of this generation by concurrently looking at them through the mirror of artistic productions and practices. Ultimately\, the aim is to provide a new and critical perspective on the years around 1968. \nThe International Newspaper Museum Aachen as cooperation partner\, will fulfill the ambitions of the exhibition and publication project with a special contribution – a satellite exhibition focusing on the role of the media. Of particular interest here is the influence exerted by the Hamburg-based publishing house Springer on public opinion in the 1960s and how this influence was generated and used. \nIn conjunction with the exhibition\, a comprehensive publication will appear in the “Zeitbilder” series of the Federal Agency for Civic Education (eds. Andreas Beitin and Eckhart Gillen). \nA cooperation with the Federal Agency for Civic Education\, the Internationales Zeitungsmuseum Aachen and the University Archives of the RWTH Aachen University. \nWith generous support from the Ministry for Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia\, the Peter and Irene Ludwig Foundation\, the Kulturstiftung der Länder\, and the LVR – Quality for People. \nPatron of the exhibition: Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier \nCurators: Andreas Beitin und Eckhart Gillen\nProject management: Esther Boehle\nCuratorial assistants: Sabine Halver and Sonja Wunderlich

SUMMARY:Valdis Āboliņš
DESCRIPTION:Opening Thursday\, 22.03.2018\, 7 pm \nOn July 20\, 1964\, when artists such as Joseph Beuys\, Wolf Vostell and Robert Filliou – the leaders of the FLUXUS movement – appeared in the Audimax of the Technische Hochschule in Aachen\, the performative avant-garde art had struck a bang. Āboliņš\, the cultural representative of the student council\, had invited to the scandalous action. \nThe Latvian Valdis Āboliņš (1939-1984) was not only the driving force behind numerous art events at Aachen’s university in the late 1960s. The Galerie Aachen\, which he co-founded\, showed legendary exhibitions and performances by artists such as Jörg Immendorff\, Franz Erhard Walther\, Günther Brus\, Peter Roehr and Per Kirkeby. Although Āboliņš was one of the most central figures in the local avant-garde scene\, his personality was largely concealed behind the art actions he initiated. \nThe exhibition presents the life and work of Valdis Āboliņš by means of photographs\, films and original documents. Letters from his estate\, which document the close contact with prominent artists of his time\, are on public display for the first time. The presentation is the prelude to the exhibition Flashes of the Future. The Art of the 1968s or the Power of the Powerless (20.04.18–19.08.18) and emerged in cooperation with the Latvian Center for Contemporary Art (LCCA) in Riga. \n  \nCurators: Ieva Astahovska / Benjamin Dodenhoff

SUMMARY:dis/order
DESCRIPTION:Framed by the hundred-year anniversary of the October Revolution and the presidential election in Russia in March 2018\, the Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst looks at the situations and aesthetic forms of the political in contemporary art. In stark contrast to the perestroika years and the decade that followed\, the 1990s\, the pressure placed on a politically engaged art has increased continually in recent years. In response to the repressive practices of the “guided democracy\,” many artists of the post-perestroika generation – a lot of them are born in the 1980s – have developed strategies of artistic resistance ranging from subtle expressions of discontent to open protest. Their sphere of activity is the public space and the Internet. The exhibition will explore a range of artistic positions from critical social analysis to political actions – both of which have an obvious affinity with the political activism of opposition movements – to sociopolitical utopias. \nWhile the exhibition has been organized chronologically\, the works of art are grouped according to specific characteristics that aim to contextualize artistic practices and activities. Categories include\, for example\, the legacy of communism in Russia\, anarchism and punk culture\, feminism\, and stereotypes\, as well as the support of migrants and minorities in Russia. At the same time\, this classification poses the question of where the boundaries lie between art and activism and their strategies and movements. Archival material that documents the history of the censored exhibitions “Beware\, Religion!” (2003) and “Forbidden Art” (2007) will accompany the artistic and activist positions of the exhibition\, as well as a timeline that will highlight important political and artist-activist events from 2000 to the present. \nArtists of the exhibition: Blue Noses\, Bombily\, Chto Delat\, FFC (The Factory of Found Clothes)\, Gluklya (Natalya Pershina-Yakimanskaya)\, Gogol’s Wives\, Alexey Iorsh\, Olga Jitlina\, Maria Kiselyeva\, Victoria Lomasko\, Artem Loskutov\, MediaImpact\, Denis Mustafin/ Vlad Chizhenkov/ Georgy Dorokhov\, Nadenka Creative Association\, Katrin Nenasheva\, Anatoly Osmolovsky/ Nongovernmental Control Commission\, Partizaning\, PG Group\, Pussy Riot\, Queer-Feminist Affinity Art Group „Unwanted Organisation“\, #quietprotest\, Radek Community\, Timofei Radya\, Polina Rodriques\, Shvemy Sewing Cooperative\, Sveta Shuvaeva\, The Trade Union of Street Artists\, Tsvetafor\, Urbanfeminism\, Verhotura and Friends\, Voina/Moscow\, Alisa Yoffe\, ZIP Group. \nAccompanying the exhibition there is a publication (352 pp.\, Ger./Eng./Russ.)\, with contributions by Ilmira Bolotyan\, Jena Jonson\, Holger Otten\, Anna Saytseva\,Tatjana Volkova\, and Yevgenia Zubchenko (ISBN 978-3-929292-59-6). \nCurated by Holger Otten and Tatiana Volkova \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExhibition views\, photos: Ludwig Forum Aachen/Carl Brunn \n  \nThe ex­hi­bi­tion is gener­ous­ly sup­port­ed by

SUMMARY:Digital Games
DESCRIPTION:Opening: 11/08/2017\, 7 pm \nOXO\, Pong\, Pac Man\, Tetris\, Pokémon\, Mario\, The Sims\, Counter Strike – the success story of computer\, console and video games reflects not only the ‘digital turn’ and the profound and dramatic change in culture and society associated with it\, but also\, and in equal measure\, the irrepressible play instinct of homo ludens. \nSince the mid-1990s\, artists have been turning their attention to computer games\, seeking to exploit their potential as artistic material or exploring their influences on culture. As long ago as 2005\, the Ludwig Forum staged an exhibition on the issue: Artgames – Analogies between Art and Games. In the meantime\, the digital gaming landscape has gone through enormous changes. Today\, computer games are produced with budget extravagance comparable to that of Hollywood blockbusters\, and millions of gamers around the world are measuring their skills with each other in the arena of so-called eSport. Reason enough for a critical review of computer-culture developments over recent years and of the relationship between interactive art games and artistic modes of play. \nThe Aachen exhibition is designed to be fun\, but also to explore and highlight the significance of digital games as a medium\, and the phenomenon of playfulness itself. A selection of digital games and interactive installations will be on show\, inviting young visitors\, in particular\, to participate\, experience and reflect. \n  \nCurator: Prof. Dr. Stephan Schwingeler \nIn cooperation with the Next Level Festival in the NRW Forum\, Duesseldorf.\nFrom 09.11. to 12.11.2017\, the Next Level Festival will bring together creative gamers\, artists\, game developers\, media educators and commercial enterprises in a grand networking of fans and specialists of the digital culture scene.\nwww.next-level.org \nSponsored by Regio IT Aachen \n  \n  \nSee also the exhibition trailer of Digital Games (in German)

SUMMARY:Noemi Weber / Nobuyuki Osaki
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Saturday 21.10.2017\, 6 pm \nParallel opening\nSat 21.10.2017\, 3 pm Kunsthaus NRW Kornelimünster\nSat 21.10.2017\, 7 pm Neuer Aachener Kunstverein \nIn a concentrated space\, this dual exhibition shows how differently contemporary artists deal with colour. For the Ludwig Forum for International Art\, Noemi Weber has created a ‘location-related’ work of art in which the materiality of the colours interrelates with the surrounding space\, blurring the boundaries between sculpture and painting. In the video installation created by Nobuyuki Osaki\, the depiction of a landscape dissolves\, as if in slow motion\, into ethereal streaks and smears of colour. The hypnotic effect might seem at first sight to be computer-generated\, but is in fact the product of a physical melting process of colour particles. \nThis presentation is part of the research project The Invention of the Neue Wilde. \n  \nCurator: Benjamin Dodenhoff \nCuratorial assistant: Ramona Heinlein

DESCRIPTION:“Cuba libre” and the Caribbean\, art and clichés – from the eternal revolutionary heroes to colorful street scenes: hardly any other country in the world has such an intense collective memory of images that are so marked by joie de vivre\, the urge for freedom\, but also by socio-political challenges and crises. \nThe exhibition Art x Cuba. Contemporary Perspectives since 1989 – made possible thanks to the generous support of the Peter and Irene Ludwig Foundation and the German Federal Cultural Foundation – has its origin in a large collection of Cuban art in the Ludwig Collection. These works were exhibited at the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf in 1990 in the exhibition Kuba o.k.–Aktuelle Kunst aus Kuba [Kuba o.k. – Contemporary art from Cuba]. Most of the works presented there were purchased by Peter and Irene Ludwig and have since been in the Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst. Together with later acquisitions\, they form one of the largest and first collections of contemporary Cuban art in Europe. \nIn the context of the exhibition Art x Cuba\, the collection’s own works of the “historical” show Cuba o. k. have been put together again to a large extent for the first time in around 25 years and will be subjected to a revision: How has the reception of the paintings\, sculptures and installations changed since their purchase\, which themes and motifs are still important\, how have the artistic strategies\, media and formal practices developed? To what extent and in what form did Cuban art take part in the developments of Western art in the 20th century and where did it go its own way? \nWith around 150 works of art by more than 70 artists\, Art x Cuba is the largest presentation of contemporary Cuban art in Germany to date. For the first time\, it complements the works in the Ludwig Collection with those of a younger generation of Cuban artists. Art x Cuba thus offers a deeper insight into the development of the visual arts in the Caribbean state within the last three decades – a time of crises and attempts to overcome them. The exhibition not only opens up a discussion on the aesthetic\, content and formal developments of Cuban art\, but also raises questions about the relationship between culture and politics\, art and the market\, globalization and power. \nAgainst the background of Peter and Irene Ludwig’s many years of activity in Cuba and the establishment of the independent Fundación Ludwig de Cuba in 1994 to support the Cuban art scene\, the exhibition Art x Cuba – especially against the backdrop of the current global and internal situation\, which could represent a historic turning point for Cuba – aims to further deepen and continue the cultural dialogue between the two countries. \nArtists: Juan Carlos Alom\, Rubén Alpízar\, Tanya Angulo\, Belkis Ayón\, Juan Pablo Ballester\, José Bedia\, Alejandro Campins\, María Magdalena Campos-Pons\, Raúl Cañibano\, Iván Capote\, Yoan Capote\, Carlos Martiel\, Carlos Rodríguez Cárdenas\, Los Carpinteros (Alexandre Arrechea\, Marco Castillo\, Dagoberto Rodríguez)\, Yaima Carrazana\, Javier Castro\, Celia – Yunior\, Jeanette Chavez\, Ariamna Contino\, Susana Pilar Delahante Matienzo\, DIP (Departamento de Intervenciones Públicas)\, Felipe Dulzaides\, Ricardo G.

SUMMARY:Franz Erhard Walther
DESCRIPTION:To mark the awarding of the Aachen Art Prize to Franz Erhard Walther\, the Ludwig Forum is staging a solo exhibition of the artist’s work in summer. Since the 1960s Walther has challenged the traditional notion of sculpture like no other artist of his generation\, extending and decisively changing our ideas about sculpture. The body\, time\, space\, language\, gestures – Walther includes all these materials into his sculptural works and installations. Liberated from just passively looking on\, the viewer is not only animated to intellectually\, emotionally\, and at times directly engage physically with Walther’s action objects but also to let the respective sculpture happen as a whole. The Aachen exhibition shows a representative selection of textile works\, floor sculptures\, and work drawings from different decades\, shedding light on Franz Walther’s central role as a pioneer of participatory art. \nThe Aachen Art Prize is donated by the Verein der Freunde of the Ludwig Forum\, the City of Aachen\, and the Aachen business community. It is awarded biannually by an international jury to artists whose innovative work has impacted on the international art scene. Worth 10 000 Euros\, the Prize also features an exhibition in the Ludwig Forum. \nCurators: Andreas Beitin and Esther Boehle\n \nWatch the trailer of  Franz Erhard Walther.

SUMMARY:Erik Levine
DESCRIPTION:What makes a man a ‘real’ man? What do rituals of masculinity involve\, how do men face up to the challenges they pose\, how do they deal with failure? The American artist Erik Levine (*1960 Los Angeles) analyzes our society and its norms\, rituals\, and masculine stereotypes in his video works. With empathy but nonetheless uncompromising\, Levine circles in on the relationship between life and death\, social norms\, idealized images and stark reality. Far from being documentary\, Levine’s videos approach their subjects with striking and telling images as well as intensive sounds: the sport training drills adolescent boys are pushed through\, the tenderness with which men prepare their gamecocks for battle in the arena\, the stoically performed work in a slaughterhouse\, or the decline and imminent death in an old age home. \nThe publication Erik Levine. As a Matter of Fact\n With essays by Andreas Beitin\, Leonhard Emmerling\, Leila Farsakh and Berta Sichel and an interview by Hugh Davies with the artist (German/ english\, ed. by Andreas Beitin and Leonhard Emmerling\, Vienna: Verlag für moderne Kunst\,  32 €/ special offer Ludwig Forum: 29 €). \nCurator: Andreas Beitin \n \n Watch the trailer of  Erik Levine.

SUMMARY:Visual Screams
DESCRIPTION:In 1978 the first wall paintings by an anonymous street artist appeared in Aachen. Completed overnight\, the political images captivate passersby with their explosive colors and angular-edged figures. Many of them also include textual appeals and warnings on controversial social and political issues. It was in 1989 that Klaus Paier (1945-2009) first acknowledges these “visual screams”\, as he calls them\, as his own work. During his student years he develops a distinctive visual language along with his friend Josef Stöhr\, leaving an impression on the streets of Aachen for many years to come. \nAlong with photographs of the mural paintings\, most of which no longer exist today\, the exhibition shows for the first time sketches from the artist’s estate. The exhibition is part of the new research project Die Erfindung der Neuen Wilden. \nClick here to read the brochure of the exhibition! \nCurators: Marlen Lienkamp and Benjamin Dodenhoff \n  \nVisual Screams.

SUMMARY:LuForm
DESCRIPTION:Opening LuForm 5: Thu 22.02.2018\, 7 pm  \n“Art makes originals. Design series. […] Design is focused on the feasible. Art is utopia. Design must be tangible and understandable. Not art […]”\, so the typographer and designer Kurt Weidemann described the difference between art and design. In the Ludwig Forum we show both: art and design! \nThe Department of Form and Design\, which was opened in March 2017 at the Ludwig Forum\, has grown and grown over the last few months… Starting with innovative design objects from the region\, the focus has increasingly shifted to universities of applied sciences for design\, so that a fascinating spectrum of ideas\, materials and application options is now on display. In accordance with the dynamics of the exhibition\, which is designed as a “blog roll”\, the first objects fall down “behind” and are replaced by new ones. We have invited young designers from Aachen\, Dortmund\, Offenbach and Karlsruhe to present their objects\, clothing\, furniture and jewelry. So look forward to the next update with us! \nIn cooperation with and curated by designmetropole Aachen\, Design Department/FH Aachen and Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst Aachen.\nSupported by Region Aachen and Mathes \nLuForm. Design Department\, Update 5\nThu 22.02.2018\, 7 pm\nFree admission! \n \n  \nWatch the trailer for LuForm. Design Department

SUMMARY:Interior x Exterior
DESCRIPTION:Mies van der Rohe founded the concept of ‘free-flowing space’\, of the more or less seamless merging of outside and inside. Accompanying Mies van der Rohe: The MoMA Collages\, the exhibition Interior x Exterior presents artworks from the Ludwig Collection that explore architectural views from outside and in. Covering a diverse array of media\, artists such as Roy Lichtenstein\, Ben Schonzeit and Ira Joel Haber examine architecture’s many manifestations. Design and architecture become artistic motifs. \nWhat is hidden behind the façade? What does the voyeuristic gaze uncover in the interior space? The interior – according to Bazon Brock\, the ‘universe of the soul’ – allows us to peek inside the subconscious of humankind. The exterior\, on the other hand\, is ostensibly a bulwark that protects us from inquisitive intrusions into the private sphere. In his photographic work\, Brüssel #2\, Matthias Hoch focuses on the exterior\, the closed barrier\, the protective wall. The transparent miniature worlds of Robert Graham\, on the other hand\, investigate the border between inner and outer: nude wax figures in a Plexiglas box expose themselves in their nakedness\, with small wooden sticks offering scant protection. Our gaze penetrates the architecture and uncovers the most intimate details. \nShown over two exhibition spaces at the Ludwig Forum\, interior is separated from exterior\, but both invite the visitor into the intimate and public\, the closed-off and passionately open-minded visual-art spaces of the Ludwig Collection. \nArtists of the exhibition: Herbert Albert\, Sibylle Bergemann\, Donna Dennis\, Rackstraw Downes\, Erró\, Richard Estes\, Gilbert & George\, Robert Graham\, Ira Joel Haber\, Matthias Hoch\, Hans-Martin Küsters\, Roy Lichtenstein\, Gordon Matta-Clark\, Jacques Monory\, Albert Oehlen\, Philip Pearlstein\, Viktor Pivovarov\, Michail Romadin\, Ben Schonzeit\, Rudolf Schoofs\, Wilhelm Schürmann\, Aleksandr Sovlačkov\, Thomas Steinert\, Andrej Volkov\, Oleg Vukolov\, Andy Warhol\, Rachel Whiteread. \nCurator: Vanessa Roder \nSupported by loans from the Collection Gabriele Koenig \nInterieur x Exterieur (Interior x Exterior)\, Installation Views \n \n  \n \n  \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:Mies van der Rohe
DESCRIPTION:Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969)\, one of the 20th century’s most important architects\, created numerous montages and collages between 1910 and 1965 that are fascinating illustrations of the design principles of his architecture. These works\, most of them large-format\, are far more than merely sketches that accompanied his creative process as an architect. They are works of art in their own right that show Mies van der Rohe’s structural vision in its purest form. Now the Ludwig Forum Aachen has organized a first-time exhibition of this amount of collages\, set in the context of modern and contemporary art and featuring about 50 loans from New York’s MoMA\, the Museum of Modern Art. \nLike almost no other visual art technique\, collage and photomontage reflect the aesthetic principles\, the zeitgeist\, and the attitude to life of Modernism. At the beginning of the 20th century\, war\, revolution and industrialization caused a shift in the way the modern world and progress were experienced and perceived\, a shift that found expression in equal measure in newspapers and magazines\, in visual and performing arts. Collage and photomontage were also soon being used in architecture. Influenced by Dada\, Constructivism\, and De Stijl\, Mies van der Rohe exploited these new techniques – to a far greater extent than most of his contemporaries – to visualize his creative ideas on “New Building” (Neues Bauen). \nMies’s use of abrupt changes of viewpoint\, freedom from perspective\, place and time\, montage of found elements and an aesthetic focus on mixed media places him in the same historical context as artists and experimental filmmakers like Kurt Schwitters\, Theo van Doesburg\, Hans Richter\, and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy\, to name but a few of the protagonists of the artistic avant-garde of that period\, who contextualize Mies’s works in the exhibition. \nThe timeframe covered by the exhibition stretches from a first design draft for a proposed Bismarck Monument on the Rhine (1910) which was submitted jointly by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and his brother Ewald Mies\, through his visionary projects for Glass Skyscrapers in Berlin (1922)\, and activities in the USA from 1937/38 to his later works\, like the design for the New National Gallery in Berlin from the 1960s. On the one hand\, the presentation of the works follows a chronology of Mies’s designs and projects\, on the other hand it explores the historical and artistic context. Special attention is paid to the fluid boundaries between fine art and architecture. In all his collages\, Mies used reproductions of works by artists he was friends with\, he highly appreciated\, whose works he partially actually collected himself\, and who obviously had special significance in terms of his aesthetics. Especially he chose to integrate into his collages works by Paul Klee\, Wilhelm Lehmbruck\, Georges Braque\, and Aristide Maillol. Selected works by some of these artists are also on show in the exhibition to visualize his free and innovative approach to the arts. \nIn the exhibition the strategies\, innovations and formulations of the architect over more than half a century are displayed from biographical\, chronological\, and project-related perspectives. The exhibition will be accompanied en passant by works of contemporary artists who\, like Sarah Morris\, Thomas Ruff\, Julia Weisenberg\, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle\, Christian Odzuck or Mischa Kuball directly address Mies’s oeuvre or conceived art works especially for this Exhibition. \nArtists of the exhibition: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe / context positions: Theo van Doesburg\, Viking Eggeling\, Hannah Höch\, Wassily Kandinsky\, Paul Klee\, Wilhelm Lehmbruck\, El Lissitzky\, László Moholy-Nagy\, Hans Richter\, Alexander Rodtschenko\, Kurt Schwitters\, Robert Sennecke\, Alfred Stieglitz / contemporary positions: Mischa Kuball\, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle\, Sarah Morris\, Christian Odzuck\, Thomas Ruff\, Julia Weißenberg. \nParallel to the exhibition a publication will be released´ that shall explore in a monograph for the first time the collages and photo montages of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Numerous internationally renowned authors will shed light on the works from a variety of perspectives and place them in different contexts (incl. Martino Stierli\, Barry Bergdoll\, Dietrich Neumann\, Lutz Robbers\, Adrian Sudhalter). \nThe exhibition will also be shown at the Museum Georg Schäfer in Schweinfurt:\nFebruary 26\, 2017 – May 28\, 2017 \nIdea: Brigitte Franzen\nCurators: Andreas Beitin and Holger Otten\nProject management and curatorial assistance: Lena Büchel and Anna Pickel \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nExhibition views\, photos: Ludwig Forum Aachen/Carl Brunn \n

SUMMARY:Plattform Aachen: Perspektive 04
DESCRIPTION:In the series Perspective\, the research project Platform Aachen invites young artists from the Rhine-Maas Region to exhibit their work. Timo Seber (*1984\, Cologne) combines objects\, graphic art\, and text to visualize the economic and aesthetic phenomena of the internet and online gaming. E-sports events in front of a live audience and gaming apps are booming branches of the economy. Professional players can earn more here than in many long-established sports. Moreover\, computer games run contrary to the entrenched view that sporting contests are mainly about athletic performance. But are they thus disembodied? Somewhere between the digital display and a sweaty teenage room\, the virtual generates physical movement\, while gaming apps send their users to collect virtual trophies at real places. The console and keyboard were never the opposed to the body\, but always designed to be its extension. \nTimo Seber’s works sensitively trace the threshold zone where the aesthetic of immaterial computer images and physical activity merge. He has developed a site-specific work for the Ludwig Forum. \nCurator: Benjamin Dodenhoff \nBrochure PDF  \n  \nPerspektive 04: Timo Seber – GO\, Installation Views \n \n  \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen
