The Kunst\u00admu\u00adseum has marshaled its instru\u00admental resources and presented its program to the visitors. The exhibi\u00adtion Tuning up marks the precise moemnt when the orchestra tunes its instru\u00adments. For hearers and musicians alike, the concert is about to begin. Tuning up \u2013 Cue for a Collec\u00adtion in Wolfsburg was the debut showing of the first works that the Director of the Kunst\u00admu\u00adseum, Gijs van Tuyl, has acquired for it over the last eighteen months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>A foretaste of the future shape of the collec\u00adtion is provided by additional works on loan from other museums and from private owners. The collec\u00adtion will focus on the period between the 1960s an the present. In some cases, it will assemble major instal\u00adla\u00adtions and important works to represent specific phases; in others it will select groups of works that span a series of phases in the work of an indivi\u00addual artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tuning up featured the work of some twenty-one artists from Europe and the USA. Richard Artsch\u00adwager showed his paintings and melamine objects, which look like everyday items of furniture distorted into nonfunc\u00adtional forms. Christian Boltanksi installed a new work at the Kunst\u00admu\u00adseum. In it, the eyes of thirteen missing persons stare out at the viewer from huge sheets of parchment. His theme is not only the Holocaust but the indivi\u00addual fates of the countless people who go missing every day. Tony Cragg was repre\u00adsented by a multipart plaster sculpture that combines the effects of natural and manmade erosion. Gilbert &amp; George said: \u201cWe ar modern times artists. We have to devise a vocabu\u00adlary which reflects this age. We don\u2019t want to hide our weaknesses, our sexual behaviour, our thinking, our suffering, and all belongs to mankind\u201d. There arte two works of them in the Kunst\u00admu\u00adseum collec\u00adtion. Rebecca Horn constructed a space in which two guns move around; at the instant when the two barrels align with each other, a shot is fired, while bloodlike liquid flows ceasel\u00adessly through tubes and vessels. The Kunst\u00admu\u00adseum has acquired a work by Anselm Kiefer, consis\u00adting of a strati\u00adfied pile of paintings; made between 1971 and 1991, this reached comple\u00adtion at the moment when Kiefer decided to quit Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three sculp\u00adtures repre\u00adsented the evolution of Jeff Koon\u2019s work through th 1980\u2019s. Allan McCollum showed an instal\u00adla\u00adtion made up of more than 10.000 separ\u00adately made parts; every one of these seemingly mass-produced items has a character and atmos\u00adphere on its own. Mario Merz was repre\u00adsented by two different works: a spiral table in glass and metal, laid with fresh fruit and vegeta\u00adbles, and a large canvas which the initial numbers of the Fibonacci Series blaze out in blue neon&nbsp;light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of artists have been invited to make new works for the new Kunst\u00admu\u00adseum and for its home city of Wolfsburg. Matt Mullican made a \u2018Data Base\u2019 of the kind that he has previously made only in Tokio: a video work on a number of levels, which the visitor explores with the aid of a joystick. Richard Prince, who has already expressed his fasci\u00adna\u00adtion with automo\u00adbiles in a sculpture made up of Lambor\u00adghini hoods, was working in New York on new paintings for Wolfsburg. It remained to be seen whether theses reverted to the automo\u00adbile theme. James Welling created a photo\u00adgra\u00adphic series in Wolfsburg itself, dealing with the city, its archi\u00adtec\u00adture and inhabi\u00adtants, an with the Volks\u00adwagen plant, its machinery, and its workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Tuning up a \u2018Leporello\u2019 (brochure) was published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With works by Mario Merz, Tony Cragg, Allan McCollum, Richard Artsch\u00adwager, Matt Mullican, Richard Prince, Jean Marc Busta\u00admante, Ren\u00e9 Daniels, Christian Boltanski, Rebecca Horn, Carl Andre, Jan Dibbets, Anselm Kiefer, Panama\u00adrenko, James Welling, Jeff Koons, J\u00f6rg Immen\u00addorff, Gilbert &amp; George, Nam June Paik, Fischli\/Weiss, Bernd und Hilla Becher<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Info To tune up is \u201cto attune, to bring into harmony _ to adjust pitch or of other precise functio\u00adning\u201d.
