Lecture: Thomas Ruff – the scientific artist

Lecture, Video 26.04.12

Developed over a period of more than three decades, the diversity and complexity of Thomas Ruff's oeuvre make it unique in the history of art photography. His methodical approaches can be understood as visual research. In his lecture, the exhibition's curator Thomas Weski presents the background and criteria of this research, as well as the work development of the scientific artist Thomas Ruff.

In 2009, after working at the Sprengel Museum in Hanover, the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, and Haus der Kunst in Munich, Thomas Weski began teaching “The Culture of Curating” at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig.

Bernd und Hilla Becher

Exhibition 16.06 – 19.09.04

Bernd and Hilla Becher met in Düsseldorf at the end of the fifties and have been working together since then, for over forty years, on an archive for industrial architecture. Invariably using the neutral background of a grey and cloudless sky, they place their chosen images centre-picture and format-filling. Following previously determined criteria, the photos make up so-called "Typologies". In exhibitions the black and white photographs are arranged into tableaux, thus a screen-like presentation emerges, giving the viewer the opportunity to compare images. MORE

Parrworld

Exhibition 07.05 – 17.08.08

For more than 30 years, Parr has been documenting society and everyday culture, predominantly in his home country Great Britain, but beyond this, he has also documented global phenomena such as mass tourism, consumerist behaviour or so-called leisure time. He is considered to be a satirist of contemporary life; his photographs are unsparingly critical and his inimitable eye unmasks the banal as well as the grotesque. MORE

William Eggleston

Exhibition 20.02 – 17.05.09

The American artist William Eggleston (*1939, Memphis, USA) is considered to be one of the most idiosyncratic photographer’s of the 20th century. This comprehensive retrospective follows his artistic development from the early black-and-white images and pioneering transition to colour photography, all the way to the present day. MORE

Michael Schmidt

Exhibition 21.05 – 22.08.10

The works by Berlin-based artist Michael Schmidt present a further distinctive position within contemporary photography shown at the Haus der Kunst. Michael Schmidt takes only black-and-white photographs since, in his view, this neutralises our colourful world reducing it to a wide spectrum of greys. MORE

Beauty now

Exhibition 10.02 – 01.05.00

Beauty was long not a category in modern art - fashion, advertising and mass media had claimed it for their own. In recent years, however, a return of beauty in contemporary art has been evident. MORE

Sammlung Herzog

Exhibition 06.04 – 12.06.05

In the exhibition "The Body of Photography" the Haus der Kunst presents masterpieces from the Ruth and Peter Herzog Collection of Basel.

During the Federal Garden Show BUGA 2005, which takes place under the motto "Perspective Change" from April to September 2005 in Munich, the Haus der Kunst is presenting the world premiere of Robert Adams’s new series, "Turning Back".

Exhibition 16.11.05 – 12.02.06

The Haus der Kunst presents, with nearly 500 photographs, the most extensive exhibition of the American photographer Lee Friedlander to date.

Click Doubleclick

Along with Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Otto Umbehr, known as Umbo, is considered to be one of the great photographers of the Weimar Bauhaus.

Richard Prince

Exhibition 15.11.96 – 06.01.97
