| The idea of the artist is often associated with ingenuity, creativity, and free expression, while Carl Gustav Jung defined a ‘complex’ as a structure of feelings, thoughts and memories. This structure centers on a significant factor in the psyche and determines our thoughts and actions. Artist Complex brings the two concepts together, and investigates the artist as a visual phenomenon composed of a particular ideas and motifs. |

Divided into three sections, the exhibition opens up a view into the minds of the artists on show. The section Persona explores the many roles of the artist. Creativity, being the incentive for the artistic process, is at the center of the show’s second section. The section Pygmalion encompasses portraits of artists with their art works serving as symbols of their genius. At the same time, selected paintings, sculptures and drawings by key modern artists highlight the reciprocities between photography and the visual arts.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue published by Kehrer Verlag.
From 4 to 5 October 2018 the symposium "Artist Complex. Images of Artists in Photography" will take place. |
