Morton Bartlett & Judith Scott in "A Cosmos" curated by Rosemarie Trockel at the Reina Sofia


Rosemarie Trockel: a cosmos

Dates: May 23 - September 24, 2012
Place: Sabatini Building, floor 3
Curator: Rosemarie Trockel and Lynne Cooke

Rosemarie Trockel (Schwerte, Germany, 1952) appears in the German art scene, largely dominated by men, in the 1970s. Her art explores various work methods and materials, thus eluding stylistic compartmentalization. Through her creations she questions the categories that legitimise art, social order, gender identities; while exploring constants such as the contrasting conceptions of feminism, the metamorphosis of the subject, interrelations between humans and animals and the environmental impact of our species, the phenomena of fashion, fame, beauty and social icons, the body and also the social construction of the subject.

“Kosmos” was the title that Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) gave to his book on the discovery of America. Humboldt, when he attributes the merit of the discovery to Columbus, makes use of the argument of progress as the result of accumulated knowledge. The artist admires Humboldt for his independent and intrepid studies, and she situates him next to other authors she also believes are kindred spirits.

In this collection of objects, Trockel pays attention to lesser known artists, chosen out of the empathy she feels for the frankness and inventiveness with which they look at questions that she too asks herself. Either in another discipline or for independent causes, these nonconformists provide models of selfless and vocational dedication. They include self-taught artists such as James Castle, Judith Scott, Morton Bart¬lett and Manuel Montalvo, who worked in situations of near anonymity. In general, they were solitary artists who worked with humble materials and with great economy of means, and were committed to their search for a singular vision.

Other artefacts in the exhibition come from the sphere of natural history, such as the watercolours painted by Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) about life cycles in entomology or the works of the Spanish botanist, José Celestino Mutis (1732 –1808), whose recognition came late because his studies were never properly published. At the end of the 19th century the Blaschka family created exact glass replicas of plants and marine invertebrates, which were used for research purposes by both amateur and professional naturalists. Today all of them are more appreciated for their aesthetic quality and the curiosity that their work inspires than for the scientific activity they carried out in various fields.

Rosemarie Trockel makes use of all of them, considering them to be exemplary and inspirational in her own work.

opening Friday: "Karl Junker, Architekt" 7. September - 3. November 2012 Eröffnung: Freitag, 07.09., 18 – 22 Uhr

& Horst Ademeit, Paul Goesch, Chris Hipkiss, Foma Jaremtschuk, George Widener , Wesley Willis




Karl Junker was born 1850 as the son of a bricklayer in the city of Lemgo in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. His grandfather took charge of his education after both his parents had died from tuberculosis. At age fifteen he initiated a carpenter's apprenticeship and, having completed his trade exam, began working in Hamburg and Berlin. In 1871 he felt drawn to the art capital of Munich, where he began his studies at the School of Applied Arts and then, in 1875, enrolled at the renowned Academy of Fine Arts. Before having completed his studies, Junker embarked on an educational journey around Italy in 1977, where he spent several years traveling. Here he became particularly interested in the arts, but also in architecture. This becomes evident from his sketchbooks. In 1880 he returned to Munich, where he remained for another three years. From 1883 until his death in 1912, Karl Junker lived in his home town of Lemgo, where he was commissioned for a number of projects. In 1889 and with the help of a master carpenter, Junker handed in his application at the city of Lemgo for the project of a timber frame house.

For over twenty years Junker worked on the design of his "Junkerhaus" on Hamelner Road, where he created chairs, tables, dressers, beds, a grandfather clock and even a baby cradle. Over 115 wooden sculptures, 840 pencil and watercolors drawings and around 200 paintings have survived.

The gallery will show a selection of Karl Junker's fantastic architecture for the first time: two chairs, monumental and rustic at the same time, and the architectural model of a well, a blueprint for the city of Detmold dated from 1899.

Alongside the works of Junkers we will present a selection of gallery artists, whose works reveal a clear fascination with architecture: Horst Ademeit, Paul Goesch, Chris Hipkiss, Foma Jaremtschuk, George Widener and Wesley Willis.

This exhibition was organized in collaboration with the Museum Junkerhaus, Lemgo. We thank the Museum Director Jürgen Scheffler for his kind support.

REVIEW: Horst Ademeit in der Oktober-Ausgabe von art - Das Kunstmagazin


"Die 8500 Polaroids, mit denen Horst Ademeit 20 Jahre lang den Widrigkeiten des Lebens und einer geheimnisvolle Strahlenkälte trotzte, hielt er selbst nicht für Kunst. Aber wo verlaufen die Grenzen?"


In der aktuellen Ausgabe von art - Das Kunstmagazin stellt Mirja Rosenau in einem 7-seitigen Portrait des Künstlers einen Mann auf der Suche nach Beweisen vor und eröffnet ein weitere Tür in das umfassende Oeuvre
Ademeits.

Horst Ademeit ist noch bis zum 21. Oktober 2010 in der Galerie Susanne Zander zu sehen.
