Exhibition Edvard Munch. Angst

Location

The Norwegian-born painter Edvard Munch is one of the most important pioneers of modern painting in Europe. With his emotionally charged paintings, he became the seismograph of an entire era. Fear is always present and defines his pictorial worlds.

The exhibition shows this existential theme in the artist's work and combines it with contemporary positions. With a direct reference to the exhibition, a pavilion of fear is to be created that seeks dialogue with passers-by on the subject in the urban space. With this discursive exhibition project, the art collections outline analogies between historical approaches and our present. At the same time, an attempt will be made to discuss fear as an existential, global and personal issue.
