Green city shaped landscape -
networked nature the Ruhr in art
10 May to 13 September 2015
Roads, waterways, railway lines and power lines expand and connect, disconnect, and cut. They are the key design features of the Ruhr area. These large corridors dominate the landscape of the region and also currently give rise to discussion. A counter to the energy revolution or disfigurement of scenic panoramas is the construction of electricity pylons? Means a direct motorway connection mobility and modernity or noise and danger? Different room profiles bear witness of wounded landscape, restoration and structural change. This exhibition, titled challenging GREEN CITY visualizes the unusual and complex networked landscape of the Ruhr region by the artistic look. The themes of ecology, climate, environmental protection and energy are not only social importance, but play a central role for a long time in the works of numerous artists. The LUDWIG gallery presents a spectrum of this idiosyncratic artistic employment, with works by regional artists as well as international artists. Critical examiner works show rivers and roads. Objectives in the outdoor space make sculptural or color the landscape. Photographic series show the re-conquest of spaces by nature. It is worked with natural such as industrial materials, cross-genre and experimental. The actually invisible electrical current can become the subject of art! Works of art in the vicinity of the LUDWIG Gallery in addition open the museum space in the environment.
Herlinde Koelbl
The German living room, traces of power, hair and other human things
- Photographs from 1980 to today
25 January to 3 May 2015
This extensive exhibition presents the work of one of the most prominent German photographers. Mid-1970s discovered the living in the vicinity of Munich Herlinde Koelbl their passion for photography. From the outset special feeling for the people, idiosyncratic topics and their approach to work in long term projects showed her himself. The German living room was her first published book in 1980 and is today one of the classics of German photographic history. More than a dozen books should follow, as well as numerous awards, international lecturer, and exhibitions.
But it would be too short taken alone as a photographer to see Herlinde Koelbl. A comprehensive text and interview work belongs to many of their projects. Films and video installations complement their work. At the German living room, letting the subjects come to Word. The Jewish portraits of 1989 the comprehensive answers of the "last generation of Jewish German, who were born in the fertile german Jewish symbiosis - and who then had to witness their destruction" belong inseparably to the factory and give testimony about questions on religion, tradition and home.
Herlinde of Kalash is reflected as well in the series for children, men and strong women - profound interest in the people sometimes winking at the observations to fine people. But it is often almost sociological analyses, providing them with their projects, so when clothes make the man, where Kaiser explored the effect of professional ornaten. Writer and whose place of work are used by her in the picture, and again it is the man who is at the Centre. About his body's jewelry, hair, or even through the examination of licence and be.
Her perhaps best-known project is the long-term study traces the power. 1991 began this study applied initially for eight years, was looking for fifteen politicians, and politicians, as well as CEO and observed during their annual visit, as Office and responsibility, public attention and pressure to succeed changed people. The images of Joschka Fischer, Gerhard Schröder and Angela Merkel in particular are indispensable from the German pictorial memory.
Coup d'etat
150 years of German-language comics since MAX and Moritz
14 September 2014 to 18 January 2015
"Crack Ratze! "- full of trick / in the bridge a gap." In the autumn of 1864, Wilhelm Busch completed his most famous picture story: Max and Moritz. This bad boy pranks are today considered the birth of the German comics. With coup d'etat, the LUDWIG gallery now shows the first big overall view on the history and development of the comics in German-speaking countries. Divided into 15 chapters (pranks), the favorite comics of the Germans in almost 300 original drawings and over 60 first-prints will be presented.
Father and son, Kanchi, fix and Foxi, Mecki or Strizz then populate Schloss Oberhausen. Ralf König has as well as Walter Moers the moved man cult figure of the little asshole. In addition, this first retrospective exhibition of comic granted fascinating insights into the local comic scene of the present. The artistically ambitious graphic novels by Isabel Kreitz or Reinhard Kleist join avant-garde works by Hendrik Dorgathen or Anke Feuchtenberger. And also the latest developments, such as German gas to Japanese-style, superhero comics for the U.S. market or web comics, are part of the exhibition.
You make it clear that the German language comic like never before is so versatile and high-quality. In 150 years, he won continuously on innovative power.
