This colour photograph shows a richly furnished room in which two women (mother and daughter) pose. Next to them is the figure of a black boy holding a cigarette in his hand, whose features are depicted in an exaggeratedly African-American manner.

Female Identities? KünstlerInnen der Sammlung Goetz

February 1 – December 31, 2004

"Art always has to have something to do with me. This is why a constant preoccupation with the new and the contemporary is a personal concern to me and one that affects my collecting." (Ingvild Goetz)

With Nobuyoshi Araki, Diane Arbus, Nan Goldin, Sarah Jones, Daniela Rossell, Jessica Stockholder, Rosemarie Trockel, Rachel Whiteread and Andrea Zittel.

Critically questioning one's own identity – which Ingvild Goetz does time and time again by committing herself to the art of her age – is also the starting point for the new selection of works from her extensive collection that is on display in the Neues Museum Weserburg (today Weserburg Museum für moderne Kunst).
Take Diane Arbus and Nan Goldin's photographs, or Andrea Zittel's pieces of clothing and dining room tables, or Jessica Stockholder's couch parts, or Rosemarie Trockel and Rachel Whiteread's body castings or even fragments – do these reflect female identities? This was the question – or even conflict – that continually confronts visitors to the 2004 exhibit in the Neues Museum Weserburg. The selection of photographs changes twice during the course of the show.

In the exhibition The Sunset Route, on view at the Kunstpalais Erlangen and created in collaboration with the Sammlung Goetz, Cyrill Lachauer presents works from 2020 to 2025, a period during which he traveled on freight trains through the USA, Mexico, and Bosnia. In the spirit of poetic ethnography, he created photographs and films that are now being shown together for the first time. They all explore questions of freedom, self-determination, and resistance, as well as colonization, exclusion, and exploitation.
