Current Exhibitions at the Ludwig Forum Aachen

Katalin Ladik Ooooooooo-pus
Oct 6, 2023 – March 10, 2024

The Ludwig Forum Aachen is pleased to present Ooooooooo-pus, the first survey exhibition of Katalin Ladik (b. 1942 in Novi Sad, lives in Budapest). Her radical approach to poetry, sound, and performance established her as a key figure in the artistic avant-gardes of former Yugoslavia. Drawing on her career-spanning interest in language and corporeality, the exhibition provides for the first time a comprehensive overview of Ladik’s work from the late 1960s to the present. The scores of her visual and phonic poems set to music manifest themselves in the exhibition space as collages, textile works, photographs and objects and, together with selected sound compositions, open up a soundscape carried by the extraordinary range of the artist’s [removed];Curated by Fanny Hauser and Hendrik [removed];The exhibition is co-organized in cooperation with Haus der Kunst München and Moderna Museet, Stockholm.

Ulrike Müller Monument to My Paper Body
[removed] – [removed], Mural [removed] – [removed]

For the exhibition project Monument to My Paper Body, New York-based Ulrike Müller has conceived a site-specific mural on the two facing, fourteen-meter-high walls in the Ludwig Forum Aachen. This intervention is accompanied by collages, drawings, enamel paintings, monotypes, and textiles by the artist, which are presented in dialog with selected works from the collections at the Ludwig Forum Aachen. With Carla Accardi, Laurie Anderson, Belkis Ayón, Lygia Clark, Nancy Graves, Alex Hay, Alfred Jensen, Bertram Jesdinsky, Jasper Johns, Imi Knoebel, Christopher Knowles, Svetlana Kopystiansky, Sol LeWitt, Lee Lozano, Rune Mields, Klaus Paier, Margit Palme, Judy Pfaff, Robert Rauschenberg, Dorothea Rockburne, Miriam Schapiro, Peter Young, Fahr El-Nissa Zeid.

The exhibition picks up on the Double Wall series (2004-2008) initiated by Harald Kunde, in which artists were invited to artistically activate the two monumental walls of the museum on a rotating basis. Ulrike Müller’s presentation marks the return of the series, in an expanded form, as a fixture in the museum’s exhibition program. Monument to My Paper Body will be accompanied by a program of events and the production of a publication. Curated by Eva Birkenstock.

Forum Literatur at Ludwig Forum AAchen

Die Schmerzmacherin.
Reading with Marlene Streeruwitz and the actress Melanie Kretschmann
followed by a conversation with Eva Birkenstock and Hermann Müller (in German)
Thursday, January 25, 7pm

“The reading from Die Schmerzmacherin. is intended to verify that literature is the medium that can encompass the complexity of our lives in the world. By reading, readers can gather experiences which they need not experience themselves, and can hold these select experiences up against their own. The reading of the second dialogue between the mother and daughter [from Tage im Mai.], in turn, will show how difficult it is to speak about love, and how we disclose our feelings to each other more by leaving things out. This dialogue also shows, however, how loving can succeed, but how we are urged to pay less heed to these forms of loving.” (Marlene Streeruwitz)

Admission: 10 Euro / 7 Euro
Box office in the museum

Grundrechte lesen
Workshop and Discussion with Marlene Streeruwitz (in German)
Friday, January 26, 6pm

“Particularly in times of slogans and banners, the question of who is speaking how from where is important. It is about everyday texts and how, as a matter of course, dignity is bestowed—or usually taken away. How we can speak empathically and stand up to the ecpathic speaking of the public.” (Marlene Streeruwitz)

Admission: 5 Euro / 3 Euro
