黑料不打烊

The third annual exhibition at Kolumba, the art museum of the Archbishopric of Cologne, deals with what gets left behind: with the things we make and use, that shelter and clothe us, things we play and work with. Departing from the museum鈥檚 historical location and its archeological finds, the exhibition documents the traces of human existence that have been recorded in documents, everyday objects, but also in works of art. At the same time the exhibition makes a theme of the value of remembrance and our responsibility in dealing with our historical legacy. In doing so it unfolds the broad spectrum of Kolumba鈥檚 own collection, now for the third time. The exhibition title refers to a video work by Munich artist Kurt Benning: "Hinterlassenschaft 鈥� Ein deutsches Erbe鈥� (Bequest鈥擜 German Legacy). This work deals with describing all the objects found in an apartment shortly before it was to be cleared out. This listing of things fraught with associations and memories is the departure point for the selection of the works on display ranging from Late Antiquity up to the very present and comprising all artistic media (Further works likely to be included are by Joseph Beuys, Gerd Bonfert, Thomas B枚ing, Felix Droese, Olaf Eggers, J眉rgen Klauke, Jannis Kounellis, Heinrich K眉pper, Duane
Michals, Walter Ophey, J眉rgen Paatz, Paul Thek, Andor Weininger, Stefan Wewerka, Dorothee von Windheim and others). Two comprehensive catalogues of works will be published in the Kolumba Series.
