Konstantin Grcic THE GOOD. THE BAD. THE ULGY /anglais/allemand

Nollert, Angelika

Walther Konig

What object best serves as an icon of the social antagonisms of 20th and 21st century capitalism? Is it the worker's raised fist? Is it the truncheon? Not even close, Andreas Siekmann might say: it's a pair of blue jeans. Since 1996, the drawings made by this Berlin-based artist have focused on the consequences of the economic (im)balance of power. With a lively and open mind, Siekmann explores how urban space has been increasingly marked by political divisions, as minorities are driven out of central areas and public spaces are increasingly supervised. In order to visualize this development, Siekmann falls back on an often-overlooked but highly resonant symbol: the blue jean. Quoting pictograms of the 1920s, Siekmann shows the pants in their initial subversive role, then goes on to present them as a sector of the international economy, at the site of production, and as a trophy of pop culture. With an air of rebellion and optimism, "Andreas Siekmann: Limited Liability Company" explores both the reactionary and utopian currents flowing through contemporary global culture.

She turned to the liberal arts as early as the end of the 1950s. In linking sculptural reasoning with the possibilities of the material and inherent pottery techniques, the internationally renowned artist conquered the frontiers of ceramics and created virtuosic works that went on to form their own contribution to the history of modern sculpture. With around 190 works from all her periods of creativity, the Mannheim architect Klaus Freiberger was able to compile a collection unmatched anywhere else in the world. In honour of its foundation at the Neue Sammlung, the impressive oeuvre of Beate Kuhn is now being presented for the first time in this comprehensive publication. This book accompanies an exhibition at Die Neue Sammlung - The Design Museum, Munich (DE), 13th July - 19th November 2017. Text in English and German.
