NICK MAUSS — TREATISE ON THE VEIL

Leave a reply

For his Museum Ludwig performance work TREATISE ON THE VEIL—part of the museum’s exhihibition TRANSCORPOREALITIES—Nick Mauss “draws out re­s­o­nances be­tween dis­parate works from the mu­se­um’s col­lec­tion, such as Jasper Johns’ 15′ En­tr’acte (1961) en­coun­ter­ing a paint­ing of lin­ger­ing per­form­ers by Erich Heck­el (1928). In Mauss’ con­fig­u­ra­tion, th­ese works dia­log with a pro­ject­ed pho­to archive by Carl Van Vecht­en and a new chore­og­ra­phy de­vel­oped with stu­dents from the Uni­ver­si­ty for Mu­sic and Dance Cologne.”*

TRAJAL HARRELL — TRANSCORPOREALITIES

Leave a reply

The Museum Ludwig ex­hi­bi­tion TRANSCORPOREALITIES “re­flects on the mu­se­um as a perme­able body in which vari­ous bi­o­log­i­cal, so­cial, tech­no­log­i­cal, po­lit­i­cal, and eco­nom­ic sys­tems flow in­to each other. Like all hu­man and non­hu­man en­ti­ties, it en­gages in per­pe­t­u­al metabolic pro­cess­es with its en­vi­ron­ment.”

On opening night—as well as Saturday and Sunday, November 30 and December 1—Trajal Harrell will perform a new work Dancer of the Year.

TRANSCORPOREALITIES participating artists also include Jesse Dar­ling, Fla­ka Hal­i­ti, Paul Ma­heke, Nick Mauss, Park McArthur, Os­car Muril­lo, and Son­dra Per­ry.

THE EXPANDED GRAPHICS OF HAMILTON AND HOCKNEY

Leave a reply

The paintings, drawings, and photographs on view in HOCKNEY/HAMILTON—EXPANDED GRAPHICS—an exhibition in Cologne of the early work of Richard Hamilton and David Hockney—are enhanced by two 25-minute shorts by art-film innovator James Scott.

LOVE’S PRESENTATION (1966) follows Hockney as he created his Il­lus­tra­tions for Four­teen Po­ems by C.P. Ca­va­fy series, and RICHARD HAMILTON (1969) “brings the tem­ples of con­sump­tion, pop stars, and crossed-out Mar­i­lyns back in­to cir­cu­la­tion and dis­solves them in the noise of the me­dia from which Hamil­ton took them.”*
