Rosemary Mayer. Ways of Attaching

Duration until September 18, 2022
Lenbachhaus

At the Lenbachhaus, delicate fabrics, thin sheets and strapped ribbons are currently being stretched into balanced installations. In the solo exhibition "Ways of Attaching", you can see the works of American sculptor, author and translator Rosemary Mayer. Her weightless and yet uplifting objects seem to defy gravity and put materials to the test. The title of the exhibition is to be read ambiguously: On the one hand, the term "attaching" refers to the linking of materials, but also to the creation of emotional bonds with friends and colleagues from the past and present. The exhibition also focuses on her sculptural methods such as draping, knotting, stretching and balancing.

SVS Collisions Exhibition

Running time: on July 19/20/21/23, 2022 from 4 - 11 pm & on July 24, 2022 from 2 - 8 pm
Muffatwerk

The Muffatwerk is being transformed into an exhibition hall! From July 19 to 24, you can discover sound art there. The works on display are based on an interdisciplinary exchange between the SVS collective and physicists from the Laboratorio Subterraneo de Canfranc - one of the leading research laboratories for dark matter. The collective invited artists to join the scientists in exploring universal questions in the Pyrenees in Spain. For example, they investigated how colliding particles sound. This resulted in numerous artistic positions dealing with sound. You can see sculptures, sound installations and even performative works in the Muffatwerk.

Anna McCarthy: Washing Cycle

Duration until August 6, 2022
Sperling Gallery

Anna McCarthy washes metaphorical laundry in the Sperling Gallery. In her exhibition "Washing Cycle", laundry is an indicator of domestic labor and a recurring motif in her works. The washing cycle, for example, is part of her triptych of the same name, in which an item of clothing is first found on the floor before being washed, dried and thrown back on the floor. It is an invisible work that seemingly never ends. In the Sperling Gallery you can discover Anna McCarthy's large-format drawings in which items of clothing expand threateningly and themselves become the material, the canvas.

WHAT'S LEFT OF 100 DAYS... The documenta and the Lenbachhaus

Opening on July 18, 2022, 7 pm
Duration from July 19, 2022
Lenbach House

If you can't make it to Kassel this year, you can get a taste of documenta at the Lenbachhaus from July 18. There, the large retrospective "What remained of 100 days... The documenta and the Lenbachhaus" opens, in which the interaction between documenta and the socio-political context is examined using the example of some works from the last 67 years. Since the documenta was first held in Kassel in 1955, the exhibition, which can be seen for 100 days every five years, has had a lasting influence on the programs and collections of art museums in Germany. At the Lenbachhaus, you can see works from all documenta exhibitions up to 2017. Which works have remained visible in the museum collection of the Lenbachhaus?
