Overstretched, layered, cut, squashed – the works from the Siegfried and Jutta Weishaupt Collection presented in the exhibition “ANYTHING BUT FLAT! From
Surface to Space“ all have one thing in common – a shift from two dimensions towards three-dimensional objects. Since the 1960s in particular, artists like Enrico
Castellani, Lucio Fontana, Turi Simeti, and Katja Strunz have explored, interpreted, and shaped “exiting the painting” in their own diverse ways. The materials they use include everyday objects, found items, plastic parts, and even an old car chassis. Expanding flat images into three dimensions, using collages, grids, and reliefs, or free-standing sculptures offers exhibition visitors plenty to explore, while challenging our habitual ways of seeing.
Artists e.a.: Agostino Bonalumi, Enrico Castellani, John Chamberlain, John McCracken, Henrik Eiben, Lucio Fontana, Gotthard Graubner, Erich Hauser, Charles Hinman, Imi Knoebel, Andy Ouchi, Turi Simeti, Katja Strunz, Vincent Szarek, Günther Uecker, Tom Wesselmann, Beat Zoderer
