With works by twelve artists from ten countries\u2014all donations and acquisitions from the last two years\u2014the exhibition <em>Menschenbilder <\/em>(Images of Humanity), (October 30, 2021 \u2013 April 10, 2022) enables dialogs across continents between the most diverse identities and sensitivities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the exhibition, one encounters displaced people in New York harbor waiting for their entry permits after fleeing war-torn Europe; one comes across bizarre situations in Sovietera Lithuania, becomes a voyeur in an English mod club reviving the lifestyle of the 1950s and \u201960s, and is confronted with the themes of puberty and gender identity. Classic nude drawings correspond with the head of a man cast in metal, which dissolves before the viewer\u2019s eyes, while a photo series of gesticulating hands of colored immigrants only hints at what they tell the photographer about their experiences, dreams, and hopes. The charcoal profile portrait of a Black man with a red hole in his temple calls for justice. And the future is the great riddle for the young people who meet in the evening at the foot of a monument, as if on an island, in the middle of the big city of Madrid, to support each other in their forlornness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The positions on view in <em><em>Menschenbilder <\/em>(Images of Humanity) <\/em>expand the thematic spectrum revolving around the representation of humans and their diverse situations\u2014a focal point within the collection of the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg since the 1990s with key works by, among others, Christian Boltanski, Bruce Nauman, Beat Streuli, and Cindy Sherman\u2014and extend this into our immediate present with newly added works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artists represented in the exhibition: Eija-Liisa Ahtila (b. 1959), Ute Behrend (b. 1961), Serge Attukwei Clottey (b. 1985), Sylvain Couzinet-Jacques (b. 1983), Fran\u00e7ois Jacob (b. 1976), Clemens Kalischer (1921\u20132018), Christian Keinstar (b. 1975), Rebecca Lewis (b. 1970), Anna Malagrida (b. 1970), Otto Piene (1928\u20132014), Tejal Shah (b. 1979), Antanas Sutkus (b. 1939)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curator: Holger Broeker<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What image do we make of other people?
