SUMMARY:Bea Otto - out there
DESCRIPTION:Bea Otto relates in her work directly to existing sites. They build the framework and starting point of a specific sculptural process of appropriation and transformation. In her exhibition she explores the meaning of the Ludwig Forum itself as a place\, its architecture and also its experienced space by questioning and transforming it through openings and obstructions\, shifts and breaches. The artist\, resident in Aachen\, investigates the ambivalence between the rough urban space of the Jülicher Straße on the one hand and on the other the museum space\, protected yet shielded due to its construction. \nBea Otto barricades the former main entrance of the umbrella factory with a wooden fence\, the construction-side facing the street: an encroachment that raises questions about mechanisms of in- and exclusion. A former side entrance is simultaneously opened and blocked by a photographic intervention. Already in the run-up to the exhibition\, these locations were marked as transitory places using photographs depicting a gray museum curtain and the reverse side of a torn poster. \nOn the interior of the façade\, simultaneously\, in the exhibition space\, the artist uncovers obstructed windows and removes the skirting boards. The industrial architecture becomes permeable and is allowed to expand. Space is inside and outside – threshold situations arise\, not only spatially and temporally structured\, but experienced by the human body. A used sleeping mat sets the space in juxtaposition to human proportions and raises questions about temporary housing\, passageway or place to stay. A temporary and fragile moment is inherent in the provisional materials and objects trouvé but is shifted and located through their precise positioning and processing.  Further interventions made by the artist\, such as a projection and a floating\, insular platform\, let expanse and void become tangible and describe a transitory space\, moving between inside and outside. \nBea Otto (*1964) studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf as a master student of David Rabinowitch\, at the Gerrit Rietveld  Akademie\, Amsterdam and the Arts Students League\, New York. She received scholarships\, among others\, from the DAAD\, Kunststiftung NRW and Stiftung Kunstfonds\, Bonn. \nCurated by Dr. Brigitte Franzen and Holger Otten \nBea Otto – out there\, Installation Views \n \n  \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:llka Helmig – Phénotype
DESCRIPTION:From a fluff of dust to a satellite image of nighttime London – Ilka Helmig investigates the phenotypes\, the modes of physical appearance of images and objects. She traces the structures and processes of growth\, whether ordered or chaotic. And she searches for an aesthetic of the incidental. An aesthetic-dissecting eye for the structures of our world characterizes the works of the Aachen artist\, and most of these were created specially for the Phénotype exhibition in the Ludwig Forum Aachen. \nTaking center stage is a convoluted sculpture out of timber beams that encroaches on and threatens to consume the exhibition space. Like a scaffold that has fallen apart\, the structure out of square and hexagonal beams moves through the space. Ilka Helmig has set out a few construction parameters in advance\, for instance the selection of the timber beams. She has cut them into sections of various lengths and in a way that their ends feature a variety of angles. This means that connecting the sections can only be planned to a limited extent and the wooden construct meanders through the exhibition space\, as chance would have it. The construction is comple-mented by drawings\, photographs\, and microscopic detailing\, for example in the corresponding form of a wall drawing made out of tape. It\, too\, moves in more or less prescribed boundaries\, but within these the actual movement is completely unpredictable. The artist still has further branches to add – accumulations and changes turn the exhibition itself into a growth process. \nIn other works as well Ilka Helmig looks closely at chaotic and ordered structures\, at regularity and irregularity: through a microscope she photographs a drop of dried milk or a dust particle. At the same time she studies the layouts of cities or the patterns of agricultural fields in an aerial shot. By juxtaposing biologically- and culturally-conditioned structures Ilka Helmig reveals unforeseen aesthetic connections and visual classifications. Her priority here is not to furnish the logical reasoning of these structural processes but generate artistic and comparative perception and knowledge. A catalogue will be published to accompany the exhibition. \nIlka Helmig  (*1971) works at the interface between art and design. After studying design in Nuremberg she studied fine arts in Bonn. Since 2007 she is Professor of Visual Conception and Drawing at the Aachen University of Applied Sciences. \nCurated by Dr. Brigitte Franzen and Esther Boehle \nllka Helmig – Phénotype\, Installation Views \n \n  \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:Artur Żmijewski - Self-portrait
DESCRIPTION:Following an exhibition project with works by the Polish artist Artur Żmijewski in 2012\, in which the artist confronted us with the otherness of people with different disabilities\, a very special workshop took place at the Ludwig Forum from June 10 to 15\, 2013: Under the direction of Artur Zmijewski\, people with and without disabilities from the neighborhood of the Ludwig Forum designed a sculpture ensemble together. \nNegative molds were dug from outlines of individual participants\, which were then filled with concrete. The erected figures are now standing in the garden of the museum. From dealing with the question “What is a portrait?” a large relief picture continued to result\, which found its starting point in Anselm Kiefer’s “Wege 2” (1977) and can be seen next to Kiefer’s work in the museum. \nThe workshop was accompanied by a film team Żmijewskis\, which is now working on a new film that not only documents the project\, but also\, like many of the artist’s works\, deals with disability in our society. \nWe would like to thank Haus Wiesental (Lebenshilfe Aachen) for the intensive cooperation. \nCurators: Miriam Lowack and Holger Otten \n  \n \n \n \n \nFotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen \n  \n  \nSupported by:

SUMMARY:Michael E. Smith
DESCRIPTION:The series of exhibitions of site-specific works of art in the main hall of the Ludwig Forum\, which began in 2011 with Susan Philipsz’ sound installation\, continues this spring with a project by the Detroit artist Michael Edward Smith. So far\, Smiths’ work has only been on show in Germany in a single museum solo exhibition. Smith’s works are completed on-site\, and attain a potent synthesis of autonomy and referentiality. His objects\, images and videos are destillations of social dynamics\, and they draw their vitality as things from exactly this. \nSmith’s inspiration comes from his perception of the economic and social crisis in the USA\, a general decline foreshadowed long ago by the demise of the automotive industry in his hometown\, Detroit. A moment of assertion against the pressure of such conditions materialises itself in his objects and shows itself clearly in his titles and video clips. \nSmith’s paintings\, drawings\, sculptures and videos\, which he created especially for this exhibition over the past few months at home in New Hampshire and which he will bring together in the exhibition room to form a force field\, will only attain their final shape and intensity when they are arranged on site. A wide range of materials are treated with adhesive tape\, industrial foam\, resins\, oils and varnishes\, or simply cut\, trimmed and set out in the exhibition room. Their presentation is not usually straightforward: they hide themselves away behind the piping\, squat on top of the strip lighting\, crouch under ledges or retreat from the open space of the room into the nooks and corners. Their behaviour in the room and their distinct corporeality creates the impression that\, rather than having simply been put in their places\, they are actively “infesting” the room. This staging of an autonomous\, animate and weirdly sinister world of objects creates a dense atmosphere in which American society itself is reflected in the disturbing potential of “things”. \nCurated by: Anna Sophia Schultz \nMichael E.

SUMMARY:The Other Americans
DESCRIPTION:Precisely accurate images of banal soup cans\, a hyperrealist sculpture of a lady wearing curlers: what Peter and Irene Ludwig brought with them from the studios of New York in the 1960s was unheard of. Already in 1968\, even before the documenta show ennobled Pop Art\, the collector couple had shown works by Andy Warhol\, Duane Hanson\, and Roy Lichtenstein. Works which are today world famous and have a firm place in the canon of art history. \nBeyond the big names and world famous works there always remains space for positions which elude established categories – very much in the spirit of the visionary aspiration fostered by the Ludwigs to survey the landscape of contemporary art in great detail and present the art of their time in all its diversity. It is precisely these hitherto little known and yet highly interesting works of the collection which the exhibition Die anderen Amerikaner focuses on: positions taken by somewhat lesser known American artists\, but also unusual works by more renowned colleagues. With this presentation the Ludwig Forum Aachen is embarking on a journey on the byways of the American art scene and at the same discovering the collection of Peter and Irene Ludwig anew. A retrospective view after thirty\, forty years – the time has come to hoist such treasures out of our depot and break open ingrained viewing habits. It’s time for a reevaluation. \nThe Other Americans is an exhibition directing our attention to the diverse facets of art in the USA during the 1970s and 1980s\, facets which more often than not defied conventional classifications. Two themes in particular stand out: graffiti painting and works of the Pattern and Decoration movement. \nAt the beginning of the 1970s young sprayers conquer the New York underground. Many of them are from the ghettos of Harlem and the Bronx\, call themselves Crash\, Ero\, and Lady Pink\, listen to hip hop\, and are often not even yet of legal age when they spray building walls\, subway stations\, and subway cars\, without worrying about the law or the elitist understanding of art held by mainstream America. They place their initials and tags in the most prominent place possible in public space\, often commenting on the situation of the underdogs\, the socially outcast and repressed minorities. As the 1980s unfold some of them move from the street into the art galleries and start to spray on canvas. The Ludwigs brought such works to Aachen\, amongst them pieces by Crash (John Matos). Still successful today\, he combines graffiti with Pop Art elements. The spectacularly colorful sprayed images of Daze\, with whom he shared a studio at the beginning of the 1980s\, engage the immediately present everyday world\, advertising\, television\, and comics. \nThe second focal point is devoted to the Pattern and Decoration movement (1975-1985). At first glance\, many of the works bristling with a zest for life look like purely ornamental arts and crafts\, characterized by wallpaper-like patterns\, decorative ornamentation\, or aggressively colorful compositions. The artists frequently quote forms from non-Western cultures and produce their works with traditional female handicraft techniques. Miriam Schapiro\, Robert Kushner\, Kim MacConnel\, and others are responding to the preceding purist currents of Minimal and Concept Art\, drawing in many respects on the extravagant hippie movement and celebrating the return of fantasy\, color\, diversity of forms\, and emotions. But they not only question traditional aesthetic notions of art\, but also the political and social conditions\, including the status of women\, indigenous Americans\, and ethnic minorities. The works of the Pattern and Decoration movement have scarcely been considered in Europe up until now. The Ludwig Forum takes the first step. \nArtists featuring in the exhibition: Charlie Ahearn\, John Ahearn\, Laurie Anderson\, A-One\, Alan Cote\, Crash\, Donald Bacheler\, Mel Bochner\, Donna Dennis\, Vincent Desiderio\, Daze\, Ero\, Christopher Knowles\, Joyce Kozloff\, Robert Kushner\, Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt\, Kim MacConnel\, Robert Morris\, Lowell Nesbitt\, Noc 167\, Judy Pfaff\, Lady Pink\, Lee Quinones\, Robert Rauschenberg\, Dorothea Rockburne\, David Salle\, Miriam Schapiro\, Kendall Shaw\, Michael Snow\, Don van Vliet\, Robert S.

SUMMARY:Videozone: Artur Żmijewski
DESCRIPTION:Blindly is the second exhibition in the series Videozone and will present works by Artur Żmijewski. The Polish artist and curator of the 7th Berline Biennale 2012\, creates situations that break social norms and taboos and thereby provoke controversial reactions. \nThe show will present three videos and one audio work that confront us with the otherness of people who have certain disabilities. Blindly (2010) observes blind people who fail at the attempt of painting\, Singing Lesson 2 (2003) shows deaf people trying to sing-situations that question our usual understanding of perception and turn into a battle ground of social conflicts. Though sometimes emotionally touching\, his works make us aware of the fact that concern and compassion actually serve to maintain barriers. In fact people only become disabled by the reactions from society. “True acceptance of the other is really hard.” (Żmijewski) \nAs part of the Research project Videoarchive funded by the Volkwagen Foundation\, Videozone regularly features current trends in contemporary video art. Blindly is part of the Polish/North Rhine-Westphalian cooperation project Klopsztanga. Polen grenzenlos NRW initiated by Kultursekretariat NRW. \nCurated by Miriam Lowack and Holger Otten \n  \n \n \nImages: Artur Żmijewski\, Blindly\, video\, 2010\, videostill\, vourtesy Foksal Gallery Foundation\, Warsaw (top); Artur Żmijewski\, Singing Lesson 2\, video\, 2003\, videostill\, courtesy Foksal Gallery Foundation\, Warsaw (buttom).

SUMMARY:The city that doesn't exist
DESCRIPTION:Processes at work in media and society are changing our world and creating spaces in which the borders between fact and fiction are blurred. Die Stadt\, die es nicht gibt takes the visitor to kind of the places that lie in between. The works of the 20 photo\, film and video artists in this exhibition deal with the everyday reality of image consumption in our urban spaces\, and with the news images that reach us from all over the world. They explore the issue of worldwideness and challenge our perception of reality. We think we know these places\, and yet\, again and again\, we find ourselves surprised and fascinated by their farawayness. \nThe imaginary map of the exhibition stretches from Kohlscheid on the outskirts of Aachen to Peking\, from Cairo to Peru\, and from Berlin to Chandigarh. Naples\, Amsterdam\, Fukushima\, Hong Kong\, Pyongyang\, Marseille and Bratislava are all elements of this worldscape. A mosaic of real and imaginary terrains emerges\, revealing to us that our view of the world is composed of a wide range of structural\, social\, political and cultural parameters. This worldview cannot manage without images to satisfy our intellectual and visual curiosity about otherness and about the people who live in other places. \nThe participating artists: Kader Attia\, Stefan Canham/Rufina Wu\, Nadia El Fani\, Annette Kelm\, Aglaia Konrad\, Till Krause\, Michael Krumm\, Armin Linke\, Daniel Maier-Reimer\, Paolo Pellegrin\, Michael Schmidt\, Wilhelm Schürmann\, Maya Schweizer\, Lidwien van de Ven\, Clemens von Wedemeyer\, Annette Wehrmann\, Maja Weyermann\, Tobias Zielony\, David Zink Yi \nCurated by: Dr. Brigitte Franzen\, Esther Boehle \nThe city that doesn’t exist\, Installation Views \n \n  \n \n  \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:Videozone: Deimantas Narkevičius
DESCRIPTION:Farewells and new starts: in his video and film works\, the Lithuanian artist Deimantas Narkevičius explores the Soviet history of the post-war period. His Video Ausgeträumt (Dream Over)\, which starts off the exhibition series Videozone\, shows five young musicians who have formed a band with the Name Without Letters. \nThe images evoke a sense of time-shift. The stage is a cafeteria from the late 1950s. In this setting\, the musicians perform their song Ausgeträumt. The band plays alone\, completely without an audience\, in a typical post-Stalinist building in the middle of a workers’ district in Vilnius – a setting that used to be the hub of social life for the local residents. \nThe video is interspersed with shots of snowbound roads and old housing estates. The view out of a train window\, ever accelerating\, shows newer residential areas of the region before it moves off into the winter landscape of Lithuania. The video communicates a unique sense of melancholia – combined with an unmistakable sense of departure towards something new. \nAt the opening of the Videozone exhibition\, Without Letters will be giving their first international concert in Aachen. On this evening\, the Ludwig Forum will become a stage for their music\, which is inspired by Indie\, Math Rock and Electro and oscillates between guitar sounds and electronic tones. \nIn the context of the Research project Videoarchiv (Video Archive)\, which is sponsored by the Volkswagen Foundation\, the exhibition series Videozone will illustrate trends in contemporary video art at regular intervals. \nCurated by: Miriam Lowack \nVideozone: Deimantas Narkevičius\, Video Stills \n \n

SUMMARY:Etna Carrara
DESCRIPTION:The Villa Romana in Florence in a place for artistic production and exchange. Only ten minutes away from the centre of Florence\, it offers peace in the form of a large garden\, with the urban reality of a big city. With exhibitions and a broad spectrum of events\, the Villa Romana runs the dialogue with producers and the public\, places itself in the international artistic context and encourages communication with Mediterranean cultures. \nThe core focus of the Villa Romana since 1905 is the Villa Romana Prize. It is annually awarded to four outgoing artists living in Germany\, and is combined with a scholarship and ten month stay in Florence. The institution of the Villa Romana and the founder of the same name\, is the charitable organisation Villa Romana Association\, which is supported by the Deutsche Bank Foundation\, the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media and other private sponsors. \nA number of the participating artist exhibit in numerous major art institutions. Including Thomas Klipper\, whose presentation at the Venice Biennale last year attracted much attention\, Nora Schultz\, whose work could be seen in the MoMA in New York and the Kunsthalle Zurich\, Wolfgang Breuer\, who presented in the KW Institute for Contemporary Art in 2009 or Henrik Olesen\, who was awarded with the Wolfgang-Hahn Prize in spring this year . \nFor the exhibition\, Thomas Klipper will develop a 15×4 meter banner for the front of the Ludwig Forum\, which is a partial reprint of his floor work for the Venice Biennale in 2011. The wooden floor of the Pavilion for Revolutionary Freedom of Speech with 33 political portraits\, served as the form for the large format banner. The contribution from Nora Schultz will also be produced on site\, and incorporates aspects of the interior architecture of the Ludwig Forum. The process of the assembly and design in her installations\, performances\, sound works\, prints and print machines is always recognisable. \n \nSophie Reinhold shows a selection of her in many ways\, spatially playful paintings. The works\, some of which are primed with marble dust from the quarries of Carrara\, testify to an equally free and independent\, examination of the history of European painting. The interventions\, performances\, sculptures and videos from Yorgos Sapountzis are formed in and of his interaction with public space\, which in a light\, almost playful way\, activates the site as a historical and living space. From Vincent Vulsma\, a series of works from his Jacquard Weave works WE455 will be shown. \nThe title refers to the serial number of a photograph by Walker Evans\, which in the 1935 Exhibition African Negro Art was made of textiles\, which the central African tribe Kuba used as currency. Henrik Olesen addresses aspects of fragmentation\, repetition and dependency with an engagement on the verge of invisibility. The video work by Rebecca Ann Tess is the third part of a trilogy\, which was filmed in the Villa Romana and will be presented for the first time in the Ludwig Forum. The three video works draw on stereotypes of European and American film and television history and present through repetition\, rotation\, and their cultural messages. Nine Budde will show a four part photography series\, which treats the places\, prota-gonists and images in a psychologically charged context. Wolfgang Breuer will show four images\, compositions\, toner colour compositions based on copies of four photographs. \nThe exhibition is a cooperation between the Ludwig Forum for International Art and the Villa Romana\, Florence. \nCurated by Anna Sophia Schultz and Holger Otten \nMore about the exhibiton (PDF) \nEtna Carrara\, Installation Views \n \n  \n \n  \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:Art Prize Aachen 2012: Phyllida Barlow
DESCRIPTION:Brink is the title given by the British artist Phyllida Barlow to her first solo exhibition on the continent. Barlow\, winner of the Kunstpreis Aachen this year\, works mostly in the medium of sculpture. Since the 1960s\, the artist\, who was born in 1944 in Newcastle\, has been developing expansive\, large-format sculptures. Her favoured materials all have the aesthetics of rawness and simplicity: plaster\, cement\, plastic\, wood and textiles\, for example. \nFor her exhibition in Aachen\, Barlow has created seven new sculptures that allude to social phenomena as well as to art history. \nTwo of the works are installed on the glass roof of the Forum’s central hall. They can only be viewed from inside the hall. The 8-meter-high sad monument in the Lichtturm (Light Tower) counterpoints the two vertical scrolls by Jenny Holzer that are permanent exhibits there. The piece has belonged to the Ludwig Forum’s collection since 2012. The four other pieces are set up in the atrium of the exhibition hall. Piano alludes to Joseph Beuys’ Plight\, a project that he put on show in Great Britain shortly before he died in 1985. \nCurated by: Dr. Brigitte Franzen \nThe jury of the Kunstpreis Aachen 2012: Marion Ackermann (Kunstsammlung NRW (Art Collection NRW)\, Düsseldorf)\, Chris Dercon (Tate Modern\, London)\, Brigitte Franzen (Ludwig Forum\, Aachen)\, Ernst Höhler (Verein der Freunde des Ludwig Forum (Friends of the Ludwig Forum)) and Dirk Snauwaert (Wiels Centrum voor Hedendaagse Kunst\, Brussels). \nArt Prize Aachen 2012: Phyllida Barlow\, Installation Views \n \n  \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:LUFONAUTS – An exhibition for children
DESCRIPTION:LUFONAUTEN is dedicated explicitly\, though not exclusively\, to our youngest visitors. The exhibition of works from the collection has been made – quite literally – for the eyes of children. The works are presented at children’s eye level\, which in itself alone leads to an interesting change of perspective. In the usually rather austere exhibition rooms\, cushions invite the young visitors to sit\, lie and paint. LUFONAUTEN explores strange worlds of art\, for example the surreal and startling photographs and films of Roman Signer\, Jörg Schulthess\, Peter Fischli and David Weiss. In his Coltrane Piece Bruce Nauman plays with the magic of the concealed\, the merely suspected. Uwe Pfeiffer\, Alex Colville\, Valerie Jaudon and László Fehér transform everyday urban spaces into weird scenes full of blind spots that challenge the imagination. In Children’s Tapes\, Terry Fox addresses children directly and\, with his alternative to conventional children’s TV\, playfully turns everyday life into the equipment for and the subject matter of small physical experiments. Semëon Natanovič Fajbisovič and Vincent Desiderio tell stories that are razor-sharp in their clarity\, but leave us without an ending. Joe Zucker not only takes us on a pirate ship in the China Sea but also into his own world of painting where pastel-coloured ridges cover the canvas like icing. Fairy-tale illustrations from a diversity of cultures are complemented by fairy tales and children’s books from the city’s library\, which has declared the Ludwig Forum as an official branch for the duration of the exhibition. \nCurated by: Anna Sophia Schultz

SUMMARY:It's your choice!
DESCRIPTION:The Ludwig Collection is one of the largest and most important art collections in the world. The collection of the Ludwig Forum alone comprises over 3\,000 works of art\, including many works that have earned their place in any history of art and are thus an integral part of our art world heritage in the 20th century. Works of special significance include\, for example\, the photorealistic painting Richard by Chuck Close or the lifelike sculpture Supermarket Lady by Duane Hanson. Both of these works were brought from New York to Aachen by Peter Ludwig in 1970\, well before new realism became known in Europe through the now legendary documenta 5 in 1972. What is your personal highlight? In this exhibition\, our visitors were given the opportunity to be involved in deciding what should be put on show. \nCurated by: Dr. Brigitte Franzen and Julia Henderichs \nIt’s your choice!\, Selected works \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn\, Anne Gold / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:Terrains d'une Collection
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition examines for the first time\, in terms of geographical and political aspects and in terms of the history of their collection\, the routes and collection strategies followed by Irene und Peter Ludwig. Their activities as collectors led them on particular travel routes from Western Europe and the USA to Eastern Europe and finally to China and Cuba. \nFor the two collectors\, art held a kind of world memory and understanding of the world that transcended time and space\, something which is once more highly topical in these times of globalisation. The works shown here range from Western European art since the 1960s through Pop Art\, Bad Painting\, Appropriation Art\, art from the former GDR and the former USSR to the emerging Chinese and Cuban art scenes of the 1980s and ’90s. \nCurated by Dr. Brigitte Franzen and Holger Otten

SUMMARY:Magicgruppe Kulturobjekt
DESCRIPTION:3.3.- 29.4.2012 in the Ludwig Forum\, Aachen\n3.3.- 1.4.2012 in the Extra City Kunsthal\, Antwerp \nThe artists’ collective Magicgruppe Kulturobjekt presents materials taken from a range of formal and functional contexts as a spatial narrative that begins at the exhibition site. The work of art evolves on site through a process of negotiation and consolidation sustained by the group as a single collective actor. The new juxtapositions of the materials brought together create blind spots where standard categories no longer apply and an alternative way of seeing and experiencing is evoked. \nMagicgruppe Kulturobjekt is less of a group name than a working title. It stands for a collective exploration and testing of a visual language. The composition of the group changes from exhibition to exhibition. \nThis presentation is divided into two parts which take place parallel to each other in the Ludwig Forum\, Aachen\, and the Extra City Kunsthal\, Antwerp. \nThe exhibitions are staged within the framework of the collaborative project “Europäische Partnerschaften” (European Partnerships) between the Goethe Institute and the Kunststiftung NRW (Arts Foundation NRW). \n  \n \n  \n \n  \nArtists of the Magicgruppe Kulturobjekt participating in this project: Michiel Alberts\, Lara Dhondt\, Michael Dobrindt\, Markus Hahn\, Stef Heidhues\, Marcel Hiller\, Suchan Kinoshita\, Tamara Lorenz\, Thomas Musehold\, Martin Schepers\, Sebastian Walther\, Hans Wuyts\, Markus Zimmermann and Anna Zwingl. \nCurated by: Anna Sophia Schultz in cooperation with the Extra City Kunsthal\, Antwerp. \nMagicgruppe Kulturobjekt\, Installation Views \n \n

SUMMARY:Video archive: The Americans
DESCRIPTION:In the early 1970s already\, video art was a central and programmatic focus of the collection- and exhibitionactivities of the Neue Galerie\, the preceding institution of the Ludwig Forum Aachen. The collection today spans approximately 200 substantial\, partially top-caliber video works of international orientation. Within the framework of the Research project video archive supported by the Volkswagen-Foundation these works were digitized in cooperation with the ZKM Karlsruhe and are now available for further scientific scrutiny and analysis. \nA selection of American video works from the video archive of the Ludwig Forum Aachen accompanies the exhibition Die anderen Amerikaner. They offer a glimpse into the historically early phase of American video art. As well as key positions of video pioneers like Peter Campus\, Nam June Paik and Keith Sonnier\, here we also show less strongly received works like those of Ron Hays\, Richard Serra or Willie Boy Walker. \nCurated by Miraim Lowack \nVideo archive.

SUMMARY:Nie wieder störungsfrei!
DESCRIPTION:Aachen\, September 2011. Nie wieder störungsfrei! Aachen Avant-Garde since 1964 provides spectacular insights into a period when the idea of art was constantly questioned and its scope extended by new and experimental currents. \nThe presentation of more than 150 works and a wealth of contemporary documents take the visitor back to the exciting events that characterized the cultural scene in Aachen at that time. Many artists prominent in the international avant-garde\, amongst them Joseph Beuys\, Peter Brüning\, Jörg Immendorff and Vagelis Tsarkiridis\, Gerhard Richter\, Bernd and Hilla Becher\, Günther Uecker\, Wolf Vostell\, Lawrence Weiner and Gilbert & George\, showed their works at Fluxus events and happenings as well as in innovative interdisciplinary galleries in Aachen. \nInstitutions such as the Galerie Aachen\, the Gegenverkehr – Zentrum für aktuelle Kunst\, and the Neue Galerie im Alten Kurhaus gained worldwide renown as a driving force behind those art movements which have go on to significantly shape our own understanding of art today – from Fluxus and varieties of performance art to Conceptual Art\, new forms of photography\, film\, music and literature\, through to Pop Art and the numerous strands of Realism in the 1970s. The art-collecting couple Peter and Irene Ludwig burst onto the international stage and with spectacular acquisitions repeatedly drew attention to provocative artists who were not shy of scandal. \nBesides the key protagonists and art locations in Aachen\, the title of the exhibition also highlights how artists and curators criticized society at this time. “With Nie wieder störungsfrei! we are dealing with a moment when art triggers something that could not be taken back. Art plants values in the world\,” explains Dr. Annette Lagler\, who has curated the exhibition in the Ludwig Forum Aachen together with Myriam Kroll. \nThematically the exhibition begins – as the year in the title announces – with the legendary Festival der Neuen Kunst on July\, 20th 1964. \nAt the invitation of Valdis Abolins\, cultural spokesman for the students’ union at the RWTH Aachen\, Jospeh Beuys\, Wolf Vostell and Bazon Brock were amongst those who came to the main auditorium. The festival ended in chaos and marked the start of a series of progressive and politically-motivated action performances\, happenings and Fluxus events which soon after took place in the newly founded Galerie Aachen in Wallstrasse. Works and documents from this time by Beuys\, Vostell and Immendorff as well as Hans-Peter Alvermann\, Chris Reinecke and Franz Erhard Walther will be shown. \nIn June 1968 the journalist Klaus Honnef and the gallery-owner Will Kranenpohl founded Gegenverkehr – Zentrum für aktuelle Kunst in Theaterstrasse. Here contemporary trends in film\, music\, literature and theatre were presented and avant-garde exhibitions staged. Works by Peter Brüning\, Gilbert & George\, Gerhard Richter as well as Mel Ramos and Daniel Spoerri will recall this stomping ground of the avant-garde. \nSix weeks after Gegenverkehr was founded\, in the summer of 1968 Peter and Irene Ludwig appeared before the public for the first time. Their international acquisitions brought the avant-garde from around the world to Aachen at breathtaking speed. At their debut in the Suermondt Museum works by Roy Lichtenstein\, James Rosenquist and Andy Warhol were shown which can once again be seen in Aachen. \nIn 1970 the first Ludwig Museum worldwide opened its doors in the center of Aachen. The Neue Galerie im Alten Kurhaus was devoted to presenting a panorama of 1970s art\, in particular the various forms of Realism. Founding director Wolfgang Becker initiated an intensive discourse by focusing on provocative performance art and the new media. Besides Renato Guttuso\, Allen Jones and Nancy Graves\, important works by Wolf Vostell\, Robert Filliou and Ulrike Rosenbach will be presented in the exhibition. \nNie wieder störungsfrei! probes the events of the time as to their significance for art history and looks at the involvement of individual protagonists who contributed decisively to the emergence of an avant-garde scene. In her preface to the exhibition catalogue Regina Wyrwoll\, general secretary of the Kunststiftung NRW\, notes\, Aachen demonstrates with this project “that – and how – past developments continue to have an impact today”. \nCurated by Dr. Annette Lagler \nNie wieder störungsfrei!\, Installation Views \n \n  \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:Susan Philipsz – Seven Tears
DESCRIPTION:More than 200 works of art on the ground floor of the Ludwig Forum Aachen have been removed to make room for the installation Seven Tears\, a piece by the Scottish artist Susan Philipsz. But the walls remain white; the rooms empty. For the seven-part artwork of this winner of the Turner Prize 2010 is invisible – a polyphonic sound installation played through 23 speakers in the central hall. One instrumental piece and 6 madrigals\, ballads and rounds from the late 16th and early 17th centuries – all variations on the theme of water – interact to create a truly unique acoustic experience\, adding a novel sculptural dimension to the architectural setting. Through the precisely choreographed sounds\, visitors gain a totally new impression of what was formerly a factory floor. While they stroll around the hall\, their perception is constantly changed by the soundscape. \nWith Seven Tears\, Philipsz has further developed a sound installation that she presented in 2010 in the City of London entitled Surround me. There she played six Baroque songs at weekends in the empty streets and squares around the historical buildings of London’s traditional banking district. She has now added a new\, seventh song to these earlier pieces to create a single\, complex sound experience in the setting of the Ludwig Forum. \nWith the theme of water\, Philipsz’ artwork for the Ludwig Forum makes reference to the history of the City of Aachen and its hot springs. Aachen’s centuries-old culture of bathing and drinking cures\, and the disappearance of the hot springs from public street life played an important role in the conceptualisation of her installation. \nCurated by: Anna Sophia Schultz \nEarlier sound installations by the artist: http://ludwigforum.de/ausstellungen/archiv/2011/susan_philipsz/arbeiten-frueher/index.html \n  \nSusan Philipsz – Seven Tears\, Installation Views \n \n  \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:Hyper Real – Art and America around 1970
DESCRIPTION:With the exhibition Hyper Real – Kunst und Amerika um 1970 the Ludwig Forum Aachen celebrates its 20th anniversary. The Mother Ship of the Ludwig Collection\, which is today distributed around the world\, will function as a link for a first collaborative series of exhibitions in the Ludwig Museums in Aachen\, Vienna and Budapest. \nThe Aachen station explores artistic reflections on the American Way of Life in the context of social and political developments. The exhibition brings together 250 works by 100 artists who have not yet been seen in Germany in such abundance and collocation. In historical\, aesthetic and social terms\, the curators have placed Photorealism from around 1970 in the context of parallel art movements Pop Art\, Concept Art\, Land Art and New Topographics. The historical background of artistic exploration in those days consisted of events like the Vietnam War\, the Civil Rights Movement and the oil crisis. The exuberant image worlds of the USA\, its consumer culture\, landscapes\, suburbs and brownfields also fascinated many of the most influential photographers of the day\, and their works are represented in the exhibition by prominent names like Lewis Baltz\, William Eggleston\, Lee Friedlander\, Stephen Shore and Garry Winogrand. \nHyper Real traces an art-historical arc from the image worlds of Lichtenstein and Warhol\, through controversy over a new realism and the significance of individual themes like city and landscape\, to the works of Basquiat\, Haring\, Koons and Demand. \nA film programme and historical posters\, books\, sounds and record sleeves offer further insights into US-American daily life in the 1970s and the sense of lifestyle back then. \nCurated by: Dr. Brigitte Franzen and Anna Sophia Schultz \nThe exhibition is co-sponsored by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes (German Federal Cultural Foundation) and the Kulturstiftung der Länder (Cultural Foundation of the Federal States). \n \n \n  \nHyper Real – Art and America around 1970\, Installation Views \n \n  \n \n  \n \n  \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:Lars Breuer - Esprit historique / Zero History
DESCRIPTION:The opening of the Ludwig Forum in the former Emil Brauer umbrella factory celebrated its 20-th anniversary in 2011. For this occasion the artist Lars Breuer (*1974 in Aachen) was asked to produce a work\, based on a specific goal\, to conceptualise a multifunctional room for the history of the umbrella factory and the Ludwig Forum. Breuer proposed a two-part project. It includes the first floor of the Ludwig Forum on the one hand\, and also the floor of the external loggia. \nIn the top floor of the loggia is a large format frieze-like mural\, which directs the gaze of visitors to the entrance and the loggia. The outdoor area\, which offers an impressive insight into the original industrial architecture of the building\, is thereby made a new experience. In the future\, this area will also be made available for exhibition openings and other events. In a free composition\, which is deliberately contrary to the very philosophical and didactic presentation in the second part of the exhibition\, it refers to the artist in the loggia\, in the dynamic-abstract imagery of the futurists\, but also the colours of the German post-war modernism (Zero). \nThe area on the first floor\, above the former restaurant will serve as a venue for the second long-term part of the exhibition. This floor between the two large exhibition areas will be home to a library in the future\, designed by Lars Breuer\, containing information about the Ludwig Collection\, the former umbrella factory\, the conversion and the exhibition history of the last 20 years. The homely furnished reading room with its own carpet designs forms the centre of the exhibition and offers visitors a cosy place to read and relax. Posters and media reports from the period\, as well as original photographs and paintings give an insight into the different phases of use of the building. This part of the exhibition will also be combined with wall paintings of the artists\, which connect through the various exhibition areas. \nCurators: Dr. Brigitte Franzen und Julia Henderichs \nThe project is funded by the Foundation “Kunst\, Kultur und Soziales” of the Sparda-Bank West. \nLars Breuer -Esprit historique / Zero History\, Installation Views \n \n  \n \n  \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:Becoming Visible
DESCRIPTION:The Ludwig Forum is based on the collection of Peter and Irene Ludwig. This comprises major works of Pop Art\, Photorealism and international art movements from the beginning of the 1960s until today. \nIn the exhibition series Fokus different themes of the collection take the spotlight\, illustrating its remarkable quality and scope. \nThe exhibition Becoming Visible primarily showcases unfamiliar facets of the collection. Visitors can view a diversity of styles and genres\, including graphics\, paintings\, photographs\, installations\, objects and videos from the years 1966 to 2001. The individual works in the exhibition rooms have been put together with much thought regarding the way they relate to each other\, sometimes in terms of content\, sometimes in terms of formal criteria\, but always with an eye to richness of contrast. \nThe first things visitors encounter are Mónica Girón’s knitted apparel for birds and two feature films by Rebecca Horn\, whose work plays delicately with the boundaries between the playfully absurd and the abysmal. Then\, overdimensional pictures by Valerie Jaudon\, Jo Baer and Rune Mields are contrasted with architectural photography by Matthias Hoch. The preoccupation they share with space and depth is pursued further in a sculpture by Annette Sauermann. The spatial installation Short Space II by Mona Hatoum was reinstalled in a side room especially for this exhibition. Next\, the work Drei Typologien von Fördertürmen (Three typologies of pit head towers) by the photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher is contrasted with the video works Hell/Dunkel (Light/Dark) and Ausatmen/Einatmen (Breathe out/Breathe in) by Marina Abramovic and Ulay. The exhibition is rounded off by Hanne Darboven’s room-filling work Four Seasons\, presented in dialogue with the piece Stabile Entwicklung (Stable Development) by Karla Sachse. \nCurated by: Anna-Sophia Schultz \nBecoming Visible\, Installation Views \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:Paweł Althamer
DESCRIPTION:Pawel Althamer\, born 1967 in Warsaw\, is known for his critical view on existing structures and systems. He questions and subverts them\, often using them as a playground to explore alternative behavioural patterns. His projects are critical of institutions and show a great deal of social commitment―often for people who would otherwise not be heard such as homeless\, prisoners\, and migrants. For them and with them\, he creates microcosms that realize the big project\, the interpenetration of art and life. \nAs in 2009 in the Kunsthalle Fridericianum in Kassel\, Althamer dedicates his exhibition to the children who are sacred to us. In the custody of the church\, the children will be allowed to play and frolic. Althamer envisages a practical experiment of freedom and openness: “There is no definition what kind of process producing contemporary art actually is. I believe that art is an open field of communication\, more open than politics and religion. Today’s practice of art is more in progress and exchange with other fields than anything else\, it is closest to what you call freedom”. \nThe Aachen exhibition will present four new works: In addition to the film The Golden Knight and two same-titled sculpture (Golden Knight and Der Goldene Ritter) in the Ludwig Forum the neighbouring church St Elisabeth will show a new installation―a playground slide looking like a pulpit or church. By a workshop with Pawel Althamer children from Aachen could paint the installation with their own motives. Pawel Althamer himself was working on a sculpture\, which is a part of the installation. Both a self-portrait and a universal holy figure the sculpture welcomes all visitors. The sacral playground is under survey of unemployed people from the centre of unemployment of the church. Beyond that there is a general programme with movies and workshops for children. \nThe Polish artist Pawel Althamer will be awarded the Aachen Art Prize 2010 that is awarded biannually to visual artists who have had a substantial and Lasting influence on the international art Scene. Jury Aachen Art Prize 2010: Dr. Joachim Plum (president curatorship Aachen Art Prize)\, Dr. Brigitte Franzen (director Ludwig Forum\, Aachen)\, Dr. Ulrich Wilmes (Major curator Haus der Kunst\, Munchen)\, Rein Wolfs (Director Kunsthalle Fridericianum\, Kassel)\, and Dr. Markus Heinzelmann (director Museum Morsbroich\, Leverkusen). \nThe Aachen Art Prize is organized in cooperation between the City of Aachen\, the Friends of the Ludwig Forum and representatives of the local economy. A special thanks goes to the community of St. Elisabeth\, Polish Institute in Dusseldorf\, neugerriemschneider\, Foksal Gallery Foundation and Dana Charkasi for their Support. \nCurator: Holger Otten \n  \n \n \n \n\nPhotos: Alice Smeets / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:WEST ARCH – A New Generation in Architecture
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition West Arch – A New Generation in Architecture shows how contemporary architecture can respond to current issues. 25 architecture studios from Belgium\, the Netherlands and Germany will be presenting experimental and unconventional proposals for solutions to such problems and demands – as plans\, as already built objects\, or as mere possibilities. The discussion will centre on topics like materials\, research and teaching\, new media and technology\, promotional and competitive structures\, education\, models and networks. The main focus will be on the specific and speculative potentials of a new generation of architectural thinking and architectural strategies. \nTalks\, workshops\, panel discussions\, film clips\, lectures and a two-day symposium will go deeper into the themes of the exhibition. \nAn exhibition catalogue has been published. \nCurated by: modulorbeat – ambitious urbanists and planners \nThe company modulorbeat works at the interfaces of architecture\, city and landscape\, initiating and accompanying ambitious projects and studies as well as dialogue-oriented planning processes.\nThe core team of architects\, planners and urbanists forms the centre of an active network of cultural experts\, journalists\, photographers\, designers and artists. \nThe exhibition is sponsored by the Landesinitiative StadtBauKultur (State Initiative TownBuildingCulture)\, the Peter and Irene Ludwig Foundation\, the Stimuleringsfonds voor Architectuur (Incentive Fund for Architecture)\, the Atelier Rijksbouwmeester and the Consulate General of the Netherlands in Düsseldorf. \n  \n \n  \n \n  \nPARTICIPATING FIRMS: \nBelgium:\nANORAK/Brussels; LAb[au]/Brussels; low architecten/Antwerp; NU architectuuratelier/Gent /Office Kersten Geers David Van Severen/Brussels; rotor/Brussels; URA Architects/Brussels; V Plus/Brussels \nGermany:\nBeL/Cologne; FAR FROHN&ROJAS/Cologne\, Santiago de Chile\, Los Angeles; KOMMA4 Architekten/Cologne; lobomob/Wuppertal; modulorbeat/Münster; one fine day/Düsseldorf; STUDYO ARCHITECTs/Cologne \nThe Netherlands:\n2012Architecten/Rotterdam; Anne Holtrop/Amsterdam; Artgineering/Rotterdam; DUS Architects/Amsterdam; NEXT architects/Amsterdam; pasel.künzel architects/Rotterdam; Powerhouse Company/Rotterdam; space&matter/Amsterdam; STAR strategies + architecture/Rotterdam; ZUS [Zones Urbaines Sensibles]/Rotterdam \n  \nWEST ARCH – A New Generation in Architecture\, Installation Views \n \n  \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:atelier le balto: Les pieds sur terre
DESCRIPTION:atelier le balto are: Marc Pouzol\, Véronique Faucheur und Marc Vatinel. \nThe garden artists of atelier le balto look back at ten years of work and present their most important and ground-breaking projects. They are known for an approach to nature and landscape that is both innovative and conscientious. They always deal with the aspect of time: gardens are never finished\, they evolve due to the ongoing involvement of their gardeners. Atelier le balto has built up a reputation with garden projects that were realized in the context of art institutions such as the gardens in the courtyard of the exhibition space Kunst-Werke in Berlin\, the Jardin Sauvage at Palais de Tokyo in Paris or the garden for the Villa Romana in Florence. Thirteen projects are presented in the exhibition. Their latest one involves reshaping the Ludwig Forum Park behind the museum. During a time of four years\, our garden will be redesigned in order to open up the garden’s full potential as an attractive part of the museum and the local neighbourhood. The exhibition gives an overview of atelier le balto’s practice and an introduction to the LUFO Park. \nCurator: Dr. Brigitte Franzen \natelier le balto: Les pieds sur terre\, Installation View and Artists \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:LUFO Production
DESCRIPTION:Die LUFO Production ist ein Projekt des Fachbereichs für Gestaltung der Fachhochschule (FH) Aachen zur Entwicklung von Design-Editionen für den Museumsshop des Ludwig Forum. \nZu Beginn des letzten Jahres starteten das Ludwig Forum und der Fachbereich für Gestaltung der FH Aachen eine Kooperation mit dem Ziel\, für einen künftigen Museumsshop des Ludwig Forum Designprodukte zu entwickeln\, die sich am jeweiligen Jahresthema des Museums orientieren: im Jahr 2010 Raum & Architektur. \nDie daraus entstandene Seminarreihe LUFO Production an der FH Aachen im Fachbereich Gestaltung unter der Leitung von Professorin Ilka Helmig beschäftigte sich erstmals im Wintersemester 2009/10 mit der Entwicklung dieser Design-Editionen. Es wurden Objekte entwickelt\, die in limitierter Auflage produziert werden können\, um danach im Shop des Ludwig Forum angeboten zu werden. Unter anderem entstanden Häusertaschen\, Paper-Toys\, Handmade-Magazine in Kleinstauflagen\, Magnetbaukästen\, Betonspielzeug\, Ufo-Kissen oder 3D-T-Shirts. \nLUFO Production\, Werke der Ausstellung \n \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Andreas Fogarasi – 1998
DESCRIPTION:In a wide range of different media\, Andreas Fogarasi investigates the strategies used to aestheticise and commercialise urban spaces. His works explore and rattle structures of perception and construction of history\, and play with the boundaries between architecture\, exhibit and museum presentation. \nOne of the things Andreas Fogarasi has produced for this solo exhibition in the Ludwig Forum is a video which has an open-air museum in Norway as both its setting and its subject. The focus here is on the “museum”-staging of original residences and utility buildings from different eras and their refraction in everyday routine. Another exhibit developed for this exhibition is a spatial installation consisting of ten two-winged partition walls made of marble that are distributed around the exhibition space\, lending it a dynamic quality. A photo series is exhibited on them\, making them displays\, sculptural objects and architectural devices of spatial transformation\, all at the same time. \nFor the exhibition\, Fogarsi has designed a supplement for dérive – Zeitschrift für Stadtforschung (Magazine for Urban Studies). As a pure series of images that bring three series of works together\, the supplement enters into a dialogue with the theoretical discourses in this edition of dérive on the topic of “Reconstruction und Deconstruction’. The magazine will be on sale in the Ludwig Forum. \nExhibition talk: \nOn 25 March 2010 at 6:30 pm\, Katalin Timár will be giving a talk on Andreas Fogarasi’s contribution for the Hungarian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, for which it was awarded the Golden Lion. \nCurated by: Anna Sophia Schultz \nAndreas Fogarasi – 1998\, Installation Views \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:Ergin Çavuşoğlu
DESCRIPTION:Ergin Çavuşoğlu has attracted a lot of attention in recent years through his spatial-oriented video installations\, sculptures and drawings. In 2003\, he represented Turkey at the Venice Biennale. He finds his subjects in the transit spaces and on the migration routes of our globalised world. But his works are not of a documentary nature. On the contrary\, they elevate both place and players to an aesthetic dimension. Çavuşoğlu\, whose works are inspired by his own experiences of migration and living in different cultures\, has a keen eye for structure and detail that enables him to achieve images of density and solitude. Çavuşoğlu’s exhibition rounds of this year’s general theme Video/Film. \nCurated by Dr. Brigitte Franzen \nErgin Çavuşoğlu\, Installation Views \n \n  \n \n  \n\nPhotos: Carl Brunn / Ludwig Forum Aachen

SUMMARY:Female Artists' Prize of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia
DESCRIPTION:The 14th Künstlerinnenpreis des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen goes to Anja Schrey and Vera Lossau. This year’s two prize winners were selected by an expert jury chaired by Dr. Brigitte Franzen\, Director of the Ludwig Forum for International Art in Aachen from a total of 258 candidates. “Both artists impressed the jury with their outstanding imagery\,” said NRW Minister of State for Culture Hans-Heinrich Grosse-Brockhoff\, commenting the jury’s decision. Armin Laschet\, Minister for Women\, stressed that “The aim of the Künstlerinnenpreis is to focus more public attention on the quality of artistic works by women\, and thus to make a significant contribution to more equality of opportunities in the art business.” \nAnja Schrey will receive the main prize of 10\,000 EUR. According to the jury\, the award acknowledges an artist who is “thanks to the many facets of her art\, a role model for the next generation”. Furthermore\, “Schrey’s oeuvre is characterised by its complex analysis of our everyday visual culture. Starting from detailed studies of the materiality and absurdity of everyday objects like\, for example\, handkerchiefs\, front gardens or middle-class interiors\, in recent times she has been developing larger than life-size colour pencil drawings of individuals or couples. In these works\, she repeatedly explores in close-up not only the human figure as such\, but also her own image. Her interest is firmly focused on the issue of likeness\, on its materiality and performance. In her latest series\, Hands\, she portrays the painting tool itself.” \nVera Lossau will receive the 5\,000 EUR second prize of the Künstlerinnenpreis des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen 2009\, which this year for the first time since 1994 has been awarded in the field of painting. The jury’s evaluation: “Playing with classical positions of painting and art history\, on a conceptual basis\, Vera Lossau creates a form of painting that seeks dialogue with real space\, that experimentally explores and transgresses the traditional panel painting. Her non-linear approach leads to open\, cross-genre imagery.” The North Rhine-Westphalian Minister of State for Culture Hans-Heinrich Grosse-Brockhoff will be awarding the prizes on 1 October 2009 at 6 pm in the Ludwig Forum for International Art in Aachen and officially opening the exhibition of works by the two prize winners. \nFor further information please visit: www.frauenkulturbuero-nrw.de \nCurated by Dr. Brigitte Franzen

SUMMARY:Video Archive
DESCRIPTION:An archive is a place where things are registered\, kept safe and explored. The Video Archive of the Ludwig Forum has not only been collecting video art for almost the last forty years\, but also encompasses many works that document events. The exhibition “Videoarchiv” takes this place as its theme. \nAs a complement to the exhibition “RECORD>AGAIN!”\, this exhibition will present classics from the Ludwig Forum’s video collection by prominent exponents of a range of artistic directions from the 1970s ranging from Bruce Nauman to Nam June Paik. The collection owes its quality and scope to the pioneering work of the Neue Galerie in this field. From its foundation in 1970 onward\, the precursor of the Ludwig Forum consistently presented and archived works of video art. This exhibition is a further step in the ongoing exploration of these collections. \nFor the duration of “Videoarchiv”\, a talk or interview with an artist will take place every Thursday in the Ludwig Forum. Based on both exhibitions\, curators\, artists and art experts will focus on groundbreaking works and artistic positions as well as issues relating to the collection\, presentation and reception of video art. \nParticipating artists: Laurie Anderson & Julia Hayward\, John Baldessari\, Chris Burden\, Douglas Davis\, Terry Fox\, Gilbert & George\, Joan Jonas\, Bruce Nauman\, Nam June Paik\, Ulrike Rosenbach and Richard Serra \nCurated by: Anna Sophia Schultz \n  \nSupport programme – selection:\nThu. 15.10.09\, 6:30 pm\nVideo art and television\nTalk by Regina Wyrwoll\, Secretary-General of the Art Foundation NRW \nThu. 19.11.09\, 6:30 pm\nHow does an art historian come to video art?\nA personal report from the 70s\nTalk by Prof. Dr. Wulf Herzogenrath\, Director of the Kunsthalle Bremen \nThu. 03.12.09\, 6:30 pm \nXSCREEN and ‘Exposition of Music’\nThe beginnings of media art in NRW\nTalk by Dr. Barbara Engelbach\, Curator of the Museum Ludwig\, Cologne \nThu. 14.01.10\, 6:30 pm \nKathrin Becker\, Head of the Video Forum at the Neuen Berliner Kunstverein\nin conversation with Marcel Odenbach \nSun. 17.01.2010\, 6:00 pm \nThreshold spaces\nTransitions of aesthetic experience in the spaces of video art\nTalk by Prof. Dr. Ursula Frohne\, University of Cologne \nWith the kind support of the association Freunde des Ludwig Forums e.V.
