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.”*
