Artist talk
Carlos Garaicoa and Okwui Enwezor,
Director Haus der Kunst München
Saturday, November 9, 2013, 6 pm
Carlos Garaicoa casts a critical eye upon the connections among architecture, ideology, and power structures.
The question of the guilt and innocence of architectural forms serves as a parentheses for the works that Garaicoa has created for the exhibition in Munich. At the center of the show are two iconic buildings, whose symbolic language is exposed by the artist’s deliberate shifts in size and material: the German Federal Bank headquarters in Frankfurt and the Haus der Kunst in Munich.
Wednesday, November 6th 2013 – Pinakothek der Moderne – Munich, 7pm
Opening of Jeff Wall in Munich
Curator: Inka Graeve Ingelmann
“….The exhibition, created in close cooperation with the artist, unites works in different collections in Munich for the first time. Largely dating from the 1980s and 1990s, this selection of 20 works provides a precise overview of the most important aspects in Jeff Wall’s work and includes now famous, frequently exhibited works such as “The Thinker” and “An Eviction”, as well as less well-known pictures that are seldom shown such as “Park Drive” or “Diagonal Composition no. 2″…..

A lovely visit at Ropac gallery-Villa Kanst and private tour of the exhibition by the director of the gallery, Dr Arne Ehmann
“….. The gallery has invited French actress Isabelle Huppert to curate the exhibition. This is the latest in a series of exhibitions devoted to Robert Mapplethorpe that have been curated by artists such as Cindy Sherman, David Hockney, theatre director Bob Wilson and, in 2011, film director Sofia Coppola. The idea is to offer the public a different and more personal take on his work…..
...Naturally affected by beauty, Isabelle Huppert’s selection of these often unexplored images creates a poetic atmosphere of mysterious softness.
As Isabelle Huppert herself admitted, “I look at each Robert Mapplethorpe photo as if I were reading a poem. In the ones I have chosen, his way of seeing the world is pent with softness – and silence. They are silent photos. In that particular world that he made his own, everything is connected. He blurred the frontiers, merged the mobile and the immobile. His flowers are alive, almost human, and his bodies are frozen in their eternal beauty. Each photo is pure emotion. In each one of them there is a perfection of form, the delicacy and mystery of light and shade. Robert Mapplethorpe, the photographer poet.” (gallery press release)
