Pictures in Time

Tranquility versus motion, pictorial art versus formal abstraction – the new exhibition in Haus der Kunst presents 13 works of media art from Sammlung Goetz that use cinematic images to investigate the concept of painting.

With Yael Bartana, Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Gary Hill, Cyrill Lachauer, Seth Price, Florian Pumhösl, Robin Rhode, Anri Sala, Markus Selg, Kathrin Sonntag, Sam Taylor-Wood and Liang Zhao.

The sixth part of the cooperation between Haus der Kunst and Sammlung Goetz was dedicated to the connection between the image and the moving picture. The selected works reference painting, especially abstraction, still lifes or the tableau vivant. The spectrum of these references ranges from the transfer of formal and stylistic means of painting to the media of video, film, digital animations and slide projection all the way to conceptual analyses of painting in film, such as those done by Seth Price.

Upcoming

Gutai. Collection + Goetz

| Pinakothek der Moderne | Sammlung Moderne Kunst (Modern Art Collection)

Since 2019, in the context of the Sammlung+ format, the Sammlung Moderne Kunst has presented artistic discoveries, new acquisitions and thematic foci in the Pinakothek der Moderne in collaboration with partners and foundations. This has led to the emergence of new perspectives on the collections, new insights into research work and the establishment of new dialogues. It is in this framework that a selection of paintings by the Japanese artist group Gutai from the Sammlung Goetz will be presented in room 23, within a series of rooms focusing on near-contemporaneous regional and German abstraction phenomena under the title “Walk the Line.”  Founded in 1954 by the abstract painter Jiro Yoshihara, Gutai was one of the 20th century’s most innovative artistic movements, which combined action, abstraction and materiality.
