Reisen. Kaum ein anderes Thema spiegelt unsere gegenwärtige Situation zwischen Lockdown und Sehnsucht besser wider. Innerhalb geschlossener Grenzen und verschlossener Gesellschaften, wenn Selbstverständliches verboten wird, wächst der Wunsch auf- und auszubrechen. Ein Umdenken ist erforderlich. Neue Wege zu finden, zu erproben und zu gehen – nicht nur auf Reisen – ist die Herausforderung unserer Zeit.
Mit Bon Voyage! Reisen in der Kunst der Gegenwart präsentiert das Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst eine Auswahl an künstlerischen Positionen, bei denen das Reisen im Zentrum steht. Wir laden dazu ein, die Welt durch die Augen der Künstler*innen zu sehen, die sich oftmals abseits touristischer Pfade bewegen.

Keeping the Balance is a temporary exhibition presenting about sixty works from the Art Collection Telekom. Most of the works are by artists of Eastern European roots.
How can we find and keep the balance in a complex, contradictory and often conflict-laden reality?

The exhibitionTime Presentwith works from the Deutsche Bank Collection at the PalaisPopulaire, is devoted to international photography from the 1970s to the present. The show examines how artists deal with time and the basic questions of photography: What different levels of reality and time does a photograph capture? Does it actually depict a certain moment? Is what is seen in a photograph present or past, reality or imagination? Time Present documents how photography has expanded as a critical medium since the 1960s in conjunction with performance, film, conceptual art, media theory, and politics. At the same time, there are repeated references to painting and art history. The link between time and contemporary events provides the framework for examining the history of the Deutsche Bank Collection from various perspectives.
We are delighted to participate in Art Basel’s second edition of Online Viewing Rooms.
