Michel Majerus 2022

Beschreibung

Michel Majerus (1967-2002) zählt zu den interessantesten Malern seiner Generation und hinterließ ein einzigartiges und vielschichtiges Werk, das bis heute hochaktuell ist. In seinen Arbeiten zitiert er Phänomene der Alltagskultur wie Comics, Werbung und Computerspiele ebenso wie kunsthistorische Vorläufer von Minimal bis Pop Art. Dabei dekontextualisierte er die verschiedenen Bildelemente und band sie in neue Bedeutungskontexte ein, indem er sie beispielsweise mit kunsthistorischen Referenzen auf die gleiche Ebene setzte.Zwanzig Jahre nach seinem Tod zeigt eine deutschlandweite Ausstellungsreihe verschiedene Werkphasen und Aspekte seines Schaffens. In fünf Einzelausstellungen im KW Institute for Contemporary Art, dem Neuen Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.), dem Kunstverein in Hamburg, dem Michel Majerus Estate sowie in der Galerie neugerriemschneider in Berlin wird das uvre von Michel Majerus in einem noch nie dagewesenen Umfang gewürdigt. Parallel dazu präsentieren dreizehn Museen Werke von Michel Majerus aus ihren Sammlungsbeständen: Ludwig Forum, Aachen, Kunsthalle Bielefeld, Kunstmuseum Bonn, Museum Folkwang, Essen, Sprengel Museum Hannover, Museum Ludwig, Köln, Kunsthalle Mannheim, Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, München, Neues Museum Nürnberg, Saarlandmuseum - Moderne Galerie, Saarbrücken, Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart und Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg.Die umfassende Publikation zur Ausstellungsreihe Michel Majerus 2022 beinhaltet drei Essays und zwei Künstlerbeiträge sowie eine Bilddokumentation der Ausstellungen und Sammlungspräsentationen, ergänzt um die Vita und Ausstellungshistorie von Michel Majerus mit fotografischem Archivmaterial.
