MONTY RICHTHOFEN THANK GOD GOD IS DEAD
Eröffnung: 06. April 2024, 19 Uhr |
|
Der NAK Neuer Aachener Kunstverein freut sich die Ausstellung THANK GOD GOD IS DEAD des Künstlers Monty Richthofen präsentieren zu dürfen. Die Ausstellung eröffnet am 06. April 2024 um 19 Uhr. In der ersten institutionellen Einzelausstellung lädt Monty Richthofen, alias Maison Hefner, zu einer Reise durch die Tiefen des Bewusstseins ein. Geboren aus den Zeilen seiner Biografie und geformt durch die Schichten des Weltgeschehens, strebt seine Kunst danach, nicht nur die Grenzen zwischen Text und Bild zu verwischen, sondern auch die Betrachter_innen in eine introspektive Sphäre zu führen, in der der Tod nicht als Tabu, sondern als unvermeidliche Teilhabe an der menschlichen Existenz betrachtet wird. Richthofen präsentiert Werke aus seiner jüngsten Schaffensphase und konzipierte eigens für die Ausstellung eine neue multimediale Installation. So erheben sich inmitten des ersten Ausstellungsraumes wie stille Wächter drei Sarkophag-ähnliche Kapseln, die den physischen Zustand der Betrachter_innen verändern und sie in eine Welt des Fühlens und Wahrnehmens entführen. Von der Decke hängen Kopfhörer herab, die eine harte und konsequent ausgeführte Soundarbeit mit Richthofens Aphorismen wiedergeben. Ebenfalls von einer Soundarbeit begleitet, offenbaren sich im zweiten Ausstellungsraum sieben Leuchtkästen, in denen die Schriftbilder des Künstlers, übersät mit Zensur und Übermalungen, kaum noch lesbar sind. – Aus dem Ausstellungstext von Luisa Schlotterbeck, Künstlerische Leiterin Neue Galerie Gladbeck Monty Richthofen (* 1995 in München) studierte Performance und Design an der Central Saint Martins University of the Arts in London. Seit seinem Abschluss im Jahr 2018, fordert er die konventionelle Poesie intensiv heraus, wie beispielsweise durch die malerische Visualisierung von Texten, dem Schreiben im öffentlichen Raum oder dem handschriftlichen Tätowieren. Richthofen lebt und arbeitet in Berlin.

We've been looking forward to it with you: NW's brand new cinema. This means new comfortable seats, but also a new, old-fashioned 35mm projector to show classics on analogue film. During the opening weekend Club Ritual will kick off our revamped film operation. Our first 'film focus' engages with the works on display and the premise of the exhibition Ritual in Transfigured Time. Four programmes in one day, curated by the international research and curatorial collective Counter-Encounters (Onyeka Igwe, Laura Huertas Millan and Rachael Rakes). There will also be a lecture, screening and conversation with Brazilian artist Ana Pi… Alexis Blake, Conditions of an Ideal, British Museum, Block Universe, 2016, Arronphoto Among the bleached marble sculptures of the Parthenon friezes in the British Museum, Alexis Blake examines the historical white Eurocentric and gender imperialistic representation of the idealized woman’s body. Conditions of an Ideal (2016) is a choreography in which structured improvisations navigate between democratic group movements and individual postures, between moments of tension and balance. From 05.4.2024 Stop Making Sense, Jonathan Demme dance! Films that revolve around dance, celebration and ritual. April 24 marks exactly 40 years since the release of the legendary concert film Stop Making Sense. Featuring some of their best-loved hits and innovative stage set-ups, this film is a tribute to the Talking Heads' timeless craftsmanship and Demme's visionary direction. It is neither the only nor the last film in this focus programme. From 29.3.2024 Werner Herzog, Radical Dreamer Herzog An exploration of Werner Herzog's most striking and influential films We dive deep into his unique style and themes, showing Grizzly Man analogue thanks to our new 35 mm projector. In addition to his films, we will of course programme introductions and a documentary on his life. From 05.4.2024 Here, Bas Devos, 2022 from here A curated collection of contemporary and classic Belgian film. One of this spring's most talked-about films 'from here' is undoubtedly Here, with which Bart Devos won the Encounters competition in Berlin. The film starts at 20:00 in the presence of the director. From 26.3.2024 The Zone of Interest, Jonathan Glazer Arthouse cinema Every Tuesday at 20:00 We continue our well appreciated tradition: a fine selection of arthouse films every Tuesday night. This month, we show the super relevant Oscar winner The Zone of Interest by Jonathan Glazer, and gems like Perfect Days by Wim Wenders and Past Lives by Celine Song…
In the morning light of an autumn day in 2022, Edith Dekyndt filmed a young woman lying down near the Monument to the Partisan Woman, which sits in the waters of the Venice lagoon along the promenade leading to the Biennale Gardens. She holds a white cloth in her hand with which she wipes, cares for, cleans, repairs, caresses, and consoles the bronze statue depicting this woman from another time who is partially immersed in the lagoon, her hands tied, presumably close to her end, a fate suffered by so many partisan women during WWII, especially in Venice. In this film presented in the Foyer of the Teatrino at Palazzo Grassi, Edith Dekyndt draws the viewer’s attention to our ability to preserve memories, with some measure of dread over their recurrence. The bronze statue, made in 1969 by the sculptor Augusto Murer, lies on a structure and a support created by Carlo Scarpa that sits in the water. Song to the Siren forms part of a series of actions in which the same gesture is enacted at several public historical monuments to echo contemporary situations. The titles are always those of songs whose lyrics provide an open, timeless resonance. In this video, the title comes from Song to the Siren (1970) by Larry Beckett and Tim Buckley, which has been recorded by many artists, from This Mortal Coil to Robert Plant. |
