Ken Brown – Letters from K.B. to I.G.

June 27 – September 24, 2005

This studio exhibition in Sammlung Goetz presented a selection of the correspondence that took place between Ken Brown and Ingvild Goetz from 2002 to 2005.

Ken Brown wants to have other people participate in his life. Since 2002, he has thus sent letters and postcards with written notes, sketches, collages and photographs to some 20 persons. Some of the recipients are among the American artist's circle of friends. Others are people completely unknown to him who he would like to provide a particular pleasure. Ingvild Goetz belongs to the second category. His personal letters immediately stood out from the normal day-to-day correspondence of the collection. After some time, Ingvild Goetz began to answer Ken Brown at regular intervals. Their correspondence now includes circa 600 letters. In the studio exhibition, Sammlung Goetz provided a closer look at the dialogue between the collector and the artist.

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.
