Hanne Darboven
Hanne Darboven – Der Regenmacher
MKM Museum Küppersmühle für Moderne Kunst, Duisburg
Through March 21, 2021

In light of recent developments regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19), the opening, events and talks are subject to change.

The MKM is dedicating a solo exhibition to conceptual art icon Hanne Darboven (1941–2009). On show are four major work cycles from the Ströher Collection, comprising some 2,000 individual works and easily filling the 6 meter high walls of the MKM.
They are exemplary of Hanne Darboven’s thought and work, whose centre is the writing and making visible of time as a possibility of experiencing and coping with reality. Her serial sequences of sheets become a physically tangible storage medium for time, current events and her own biography.

Peter Fischli: Catalogue

Questions of what is real and what is a replica, what is explicit and what remains concealed, which Peter Fischli dissects in various media: sculpture, video, photography, and installation probe the essence of the authentic and counterfeit image, laconically appropriating the familiar and alienating it. The exhibition catalogue assembles essays by various authors addressing all the series of works, Thomas D. Trummer expounds on Fischli’s invariably humorous way of working, focusing in particular on his concept for the exhibition at Kunsthaus Bregenz. The publication is designed as an artist’s book by Peter Fischli himself.

On view through at least 2022

In light of recent developments regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19), the opening, events and talks are subject to change.

International Women’s Day, 8 March 2020, marked the close of the special exhibition Fighting for Visibility: Women Artists in the Nationalgalerie before 1919 at the Alte Nationalgalerie. The theme of the visibility of women artists remains evident in the public space through the outdoor presentation of Jenny Holzer’s work Men Don’t Protect You Anymore in the Kolonnadenhof (Colonnade Courtyard) in front of the museum.

Jean-Luc Mylayne
Van Gogh inspires: Jean-Luc Mylayne
Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam
September 11, 2020–February 14, 2021

In light of recent developments regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19), exhibitions, events and talks are subject to change.

Van Gogh and his love of nature is a special source of inspiration for Jean-Luc Mylayne (1946). Like Van Gogh, in his work he wants to express the connection he feels with nature. The artist chose three works specially for this presentation in the Van Gogh Museum. Each photograph is a unique impression.

Thomas Ruff
K20 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf
Through February 7, 2021

In light of recent developments regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19), exhibitions, events and talks are subject to change.

Thomas Ruff (b. 1958) is one of the internationally most important artists of his generation. Already as a student of the photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art in the early 1980s, he chose a conceptual approach to photography. His work, which explores the most diverse genres and historical varieties of photography, represents one of the most versatile and surprising positions within contemporary art. The comprehensive exhibition at K20 focuses on series of pictures from two decades in which the artist hardly ever used a camera himself. Instead, he appropriated existing photographic material from a wide variety of sources for his often large-format pictures.

Ed Ruscha
12 Sunsets

Starting in 1966, Ed Ruscha mounted a motorized camera on the back of a pickup truck and drove along the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, Los Angeles. He methodically photographed all of the buildings on each side of the street and returned again and again with his team to repeat this procedure over the next 55 years.

The resulting archive is a collection of more than half a million images – most of which have never been seen, not even by Ruscha himself. Using artificial intelligence and computer technology, the Getty analyzed and digitized more than 60,000 negatives. Click on the image to travel back in time and explore one of Los Angeles’ most iconic streets.
