    Realit;-)t. Video works from Sammlung Goetz in Munich. From Olaf Breuning to Sam Taylor-Wood

    –

    What is reality? What is fiction? In an age when perception of the world is largely conveyed by media images, the boundaries seem to blur. This exhibition brought together 30 video works by a younger generation of artists who confront these questions.

    With Doug Aitken, Francis Alÿs, Assume Vivid Astro Focus, Kutlug Ataman, Andrea Bowers, Olaf Breuning, Janet Cardiff/George Bures Miller, David Claerbout, Rineke Dijkstra, Tracey Emin, Peter Fischli/David Weiss, Mona Hatoum, Mathilde ter Heijne, Jonathan Horowitz, William Kentridge, Rachel Khedoori, Mark Leckey, Christian Marclay, Bjørn Melhus, Pipilotti Rist, Anri Sala, Beat Streuli, Sam Taylor-Wood, Rosemarie Trockel and Karen Yasinsky.

    Electronic media shape the youth and recreational time of a younger generation. Against this backdrop, young artists are developing a great interest in using their media works to highlight the rites, problems and identity questions of youth. Collector Ingvild Goetz finds the medium of video suited like no other to reflect our world with its social, political and artistic facets. Will we soon perceive reality only through images brought to us via the media? "No cause for concern" say the exhibition curators. With a knowing wink, they have thus exchanged the 'ä' in 'Realität' [Reality] in the exhibition title for an emoticon.

    Sammlung Goetz BASE 103

    Autumn/Winter 2021

    The American artist Barbara Kasten has created an impressive artistic oeuvre over her career spanning from the 1970s to the present. At the center of Kasten’s work are her abstract, geometric color photographs from the 1980s, which explore the interplay of light and dark and afford new spatial experiences. The Sammlung Goetz, which has extensive holdings of works by Kasten, is mounting the artist’s first solo exhibition in Europe in cooperation with the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg. A selection of the extensive retrospective will be on view in the Sammlung Goetz in Munich.
