staged - Identity and Role Play

Inszeniert: Identität und Rollenspiel

12 Sep 2022 – 1 Feb 2023




The exhibition "Staged: Identity and Role Play" highlights questions about identity against the backdrop of artistic role play in photography.

In dealing with the themes of identity, its construction, transformation and fiction, the camera is used as a mirror for stagings of the self - or the other.

Masquerade, costuming and the performative game as an artistic practice form the common starting point of the works shown. These show how artists test the limits of what is acceptabl… more

Paris – Haute Couture of the 50ties

Pariser Haute-Couture der 50er Jahre

2 Apr – 27 May 2022



Willy Maywald (1907-1985) was one of the most important photographers in Paris from the
1930s to the 1960s. His training at the Werkkunstschulen in Krefeld, Cologne and Berlin
shaped his avant-garde formal language. In 1932 he moved to the Seine, where he made
friends with many protagonists of artistic modernism.

His range of subjects, which includes both commissioned and free works, extends from a
spectacular collection of portrait photographs and fashion photos for all the major Parisian c… more

Egal, wie du es siehst, ich sehe es anders.

Rheinischer Kunstpreis 2020

15 Jan – 19 Mar 2022

Herbert Döring-Spengler hat in einem sehr konsequent verfolgten künstlerischen Weg die Existenz des Menschen mit experimentellen fotografischen und zeichnerischen
Werkserien ausgeleuchtet und in überraschenden Bildern festgehalten. Seine Werke gebärden sich so expressiv wie fragil, meist irritierend, und das nicht nur aufgrund ihrer farbintensiven Ästhetik, sondern auch in Bezug auf ihre motivischen Setzungen.

Blossom

Blossom

24 Apr – 18 Dec 2021


From the ancient mural to the baroque still life to contemporary photography: flowers are one of the most popular motifs in art history. For 25 years, Zurich-based photographer Anna Halm Schudel has been working on the traditional subject. She celebrates the luminous splendour of colours and the variety of shapes and thus the seduction of flowers. Equally passionately, the photographer follows the process of fading and wilting, shooting dry or underwater bouquets. Blossom combines decorative s… more

31 Oct 2020 – 18 Mar 2021
"What a life - between photography and fine arts, sculpture and panel painting, France and America. A life
between countries and cultures, languages and sensitivities. Not that Louis Stettner couldn't have made up
his mind. But he probably needed this oscillation between the continents, the cities and disciplines in order
to be able to re-enact life's big questions over and over again. "Being a photographer", he once said, "means
perpetual discovery."

The exhibition "René Groebli - Platinum Palladium Prints" introduces the viewer to the exciting work of
Groebli with pictures that were created using the noblest, most stable and most exclusive process. Each

Seeing and Being Seen / Sehen und gesehen werden

9 Sep – 29 Oct 2017


The human face is surprisingly full of expression and we tend to “scan” it in order to differentiate between the smallest changes in mimics of others. The recognition of human faces and mimics is so important that an entire area in our brains is devoted solely to this task. So it is not too surprising that the portrayal of the human face also takes up a great role in art.

Since ancient times, artists have been producing portraits not only of rulers, but also of prominent figures o… more

For many years and through his work, the photo artist Döring-Spengler has dealt with the topic of the human being and its interaction with the world and society.

These latest developments are implemented in the so-called "Diazetten".

This technique creates collages of pictures through overl… more

The "altered landscape" has long been a theme in photography. In 1975 William Jenkins curated the exhibition New Topographics at George Eastman House, which featured Robert Adams and Stephen Shore, among others. This seminal exhibition was both a reflection of the local environment, including a highly conceptual, documentary, detached and socially critical comment on an increasingly modern world, which was driven by economic rationality and mostly absent of its makers.
