Monument to My Paper Body, Fragmente einer Wirklichkeit, die einmal war und Terrestrische Perspektiven, die alle die Sammlungen des Ludwig Forum zum Ausgangspunkt nehmen, eröffnet nun mit Auf dem Vulkan die vierte Sammlungspräsentation im Haus.

Die Arbeit Antropothek von Dan Perjovschi zeigt auf fünftausend gebündelt und geschichteten Zettelchen die Selbstbefragung des künstlerischen „Ich“. Für das Kunstwerk nutzte der rumänische Künstler unterschiedlichste, verfügbare Materialien und ging dabei möglichst erfinderisch und sparsam vor: Er zeichnete auf Notizzettel, Altpapier, auf Bücher, Zeitungen und Postkarten.

Summer kick-off and collection presentations at Ludwig Forum

We cordially invite you to join us for our summer kick-off and the opening of our new collection presentation Auf dem Vulkan [On the Vulcano] with an all-day program on Sunday, June 30, 2024 from 11 am. This year, Ludwig Forum Aachen is persuing the specific goal of placing greater emphasis on its own collections. In addition to the long-term research project Training the Archive, the restoration lab on the work Earth, Moon, Sun (1990) by Nam June Paik, and the three current exhibitions Ulrike Müller. Monument to My Paper Body, Fragments of a Reality That Once Was, and Terrestrial Perspectives, all of which take the own collections as their starting point, we will now open the fourth presentation with works from the collections titled Auf dem Vulkan [On the Vulcano].

We would like to take this opportunity to celebrate and present all exhibitions with a special program throughout the entire day. We look forward to spending this day together with you over coffee, cake, cold drinks or a snack at the Ludwig Forum!

We are looking forward to seeing you!

Yours
Ludwig Forum Aachen

Terrestrial Connections. Culinary field studies and interventions with Paula Erstmann
For Paula Erstmann, food is an artistic medium she uses to initiate dialogue with her audience. What stories do the food we eat tell us? And, indeed, what about the cutlery and dishes, the tablecloth and the table at which we eat? What collective memories are prompted?
Venue: Ludwig Forum Park

Guided tours through the four collection presentations with curators Eva Birkenstock, Galina Dekova, Lisa Oord, Holger Otten

Aus alter Wurzel neue Kraft
Artist Tim Berresheim will present his participatory art project in a short lecture followed by a discussion with Heinrich Brötz (Councillor for Cultural Affairs, City of Aachen), as well as a work which has been produced as part of the project in collaboration with pupils from Grundschule am Fischmarkt, Kaiser-Karls-Gymnasium and participants from the VHS-College Aachen.

Antropothek
The work Antropothek by Dan Perjovschi shows the self-questioning of the artist on five thousand bundled and layered pieces of paper. The Romanian artist used a wide variety of available materials for the artwork and proceeded as inventively and sparingly as possible: He drew on notepads, scrap paper, books, newspapers and postcards. In the open workshop for children, teenagers, and adults, a very special “Antropothek” of the Ludwig Forum collections will be created as a joint work by all participants.

Beside a monthly stipend, the grand includes studio visits, opening and closing events and regular field trips with the other artists from the program in the EuRegion. 

Borderland Residencies is a support structure of annual art residencies in the Dutch-Belgium-German border area of the Lower Rhine region, Aachen, East Belgium and the Province of Limburg from September to the end of November. The program not only co-finances scholarships, short-term artistic interventions and co-productions, but on top offers a strong transnational network and support structure to each years’ scholarship holders through regular meetings and activities, by sharing its professional contacts and expertise and inquiring opportunities to present works throughout the EuRegion.

Ludwig Forum Aachen is an internationally renowned museum for contemporary art, set on the Western border of Germany. It is the home of significant parts of the famous Peter and Irene Ludwig Collection, that is distributed across over 20 museums globally.

Furthermore, it is the home to contemporary art from China, to one of the most comprehensive collections of contemporary art from Cuba as well as to extensive collections of art from Soviet Russia, the former soviet republics, and from Central and Eastern Europe. Its transdisciplinary program combines solo and group exhibitions with research projects, conferences, screenings, music and dance festivals and other educational activities, to continuously expand and re-contextualize its collections in dialog with the public. On its grounds the museum contains 6000 square meters of exhibition space on four floors, a theatre, a sculpture garden, and a large art mediation workshop with printing and pottery facilities.

The museum is located in the city of Aachen, the westernmost city in Germany with a population of around 249,000.

The 2024 cycle to Borderlands Residencies manifests the second time the museum collaborates with the network.
