In the organizer's words:
KAWS. Art & Comix examines the interaction between comics, picture stories, cartoons and art. The exhibition places the US-American artist KAWS in a dialogue with selected contemporary positions and emphasizes the artistic autonomy of his characters, which combine pop, commercial and public art.
Comics bear the hallmarks of a universal language and exist in many cultures as a catchy way of telling stories graphically, in words and images. As visual artists, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Ad Reinhardt create almost classic comics. Even before the invention of the camera and (animated) film, caricature, satire and frame-based narration were an attractive way of conveying stories: transnational and crossing borders, they appeal equally to all age groups and social classes. From the 1960s onwards, artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, H.C. Westermann and Keith Haring radically questioned the boundary between high and low art. Prominent positions in contemporary art range from KAWS and Joyce Pensato to Cosima von Bonin and Peter Saul.
