Watch Bible Black Subtitled

OF THE HALO LED

Such a successful exhibition as "vis-à vis. From the halo to the LED" refers in the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum in Bremen (in conjunction with the Roselius-Haus) a rare occurrence. The young museum director Frank Laukötter - since November last year in office - is that with this exhibition the courageous tradition of the house away. It is justly proud, was the world's first museum to be that of a dedicated artist.

for the exhibition (until April 3), the separation between Roselius House and Modersohn-Becker Museum repealed. In the 20 years, invited the Coffee Hag-inventor Roselius, who established the museum, the artist Bernhard Hoetger to work for him and to create new contexts for his collection of old works. For the current exhibition are artists have been invited to their own work in relation to the exhibits of both houses put up. The "Man of Sorrows" Lucas Cranach and a Pietà Tilmann Riemenschneider meet Klaus Effern "Jessy" (2009) and the self-portrait Modersohn-Becker, which imagines itself as a act pregnant, meets a variety of representations of the mother and the child. A lush, baroque leather wallpaper is covered over with wallpaper collages by Patricia Lambert from the 70s of last century. Melissa Boeger presents a stiff gold robe made of metal ornaments that appears in photographs as a garment of the artist by posing in front of art works from the Roselius-Haus. The body as being direct form of life is here against the symbolic body of the icons, as against the body of the consumable Pops.

The responsible by the curatorial team of Frank Laukötter, Verena Borgmann and Simone Ewald show rolls up its two museums in the cooper road to complete and provides a very worthwhile new view of the "old" works of collection as to Modersohn-Becker's modern interpretations of centuries-old themes.

(Do not go on Go! Save yourself a trip to Worpswede when the time is short. It falls very determined Nippes over. Go directly to the Cooper Street 6-10.)
