ART meets … RESISTANCE
How up-to-date is Emil Schumacher?
As an artist, Emil Schumacher set out to “smash the stink of the past”. As with other representatives of European Informel, his paintings were created as a reaction to the horrors of World War II, as a rebellion against the restrictions of the Nazi era, and as an expression of an irrepressible striving for freedom. At the same time, Schumacher’s painting is a constant struggle with the resistance of the material, with color and the medium, with the processes and conditions of its creation – fundamental questions of art. So how can Schumacher’s work be classified today? Historic or still relevant? What role does the artist play in the development of German art after 1945? What makes his work? These and other questions will be discussed by Till Breckner (gallery owner), Katharina Henkel (art historian), Peter Iden (art critic), Eva Müller-Remmert (curator of the exhibition), Christian Spies (Professor of Art History, University of Cologne). Moderator: Walter Smerling (Director MKM)

BAZON BROCK’S VISITORS’ SCHOOL
Bazon Brock, self-proclaimed “thinker on duty” and “artist without a work” as well as professor emeritus of aesthetics, is once again inviting visitors to the MKM for the Visitors’ School. His guided tours beyond classical mediation have been legendary since he first conducted them at the documenta in 1968. In the current exhibition, he focuses on Emil Schumacher’s oeuvre in his unconventional observations and offers solid background information, profound chains of thought and an entertaining form of lecture.
10 EUR incl. Admission to the MKM
