In the guided tour, Matthew Hanson, the curator of the exhibition Synkategoremata , provides insights into the work of Ludger Gerdes and invites visitors to engage with the works together.
Ludger Gerdes would have turned 70 in 2024, and the Kunsthalle Münster would like to take this as an opportunity to focus on his work and contextualize it in an exhibition in the Stadthausgalerie. Gerdes was a versatile practitioner: a painter, sculptor and photographer, but also a writer and theorist. He turned to these media episodically to develop his enduring aesthetic and philosophical investigation into the possibilities of artistic autonomy in public space. While studying at the Düsseldorf Academy in the early 1980s, Gerdes befriended a group of artists who became known as model makers and who shared a common interest in sculpture, architecture and model making.
The guided tour will be held in English. It is not necessary to register in advance.
