JEFF WALL IN MUNICH
7 November 2013 - 9 March 2014
Curator: Inka Graeve Ingelmann
Like virtually no other artist of his generation, the Canadian Jeff Wall
(b. 1946) redefined the possibilities of artistic composition, broaching the subject of the boundaries between the genres painting, photography, sculpture and film, as well as between fiction and reality. From early on, Munich evolved into a centre for Jeff Wall’s works where they were well-received and already being exhibited, collected and published in the early 1980s.
The exhibition, created in close cooperation with the artist, unites works in different collections in Munich for the first time. Largely dating from the 1980s and 1990s, this selection of 20 works provides a precise overview of the most important aspects in Jeff Wall’s work and includes now famous, frequently exhibited works such as »The Thinker« and »Restoration«, as well as less well-known pictures that are seldom shown.
The exhibition will also be marked by the release of a catalogue, published by Schirmer/Mosel.
A diverse events programme will be held to accompany the exhibition, featuring tours, workshops, art talks, and film screenings.
Jeff Wall has also compiled a selection of European and American auteur films relevant to his art, which will be presented in a series of matinee screenings over the course of the exhibition. Screenings take place on every 2nd Sunday of the month.
