SPECIAL EVENTS

24.06.2009, 7 p.m. - Lecture by Eugen Blume
Zu Hilfe, zu Hilfe! Imi Knoebel meets Mies van der Rohe
Imi Knoebel’s project Zu Hilfe, zu Hilfe… for the Neue Nationalgalerie initiates a dialogue with Mies van der Rohe, perhaps the greatest purist among modern architects. Engaging the dominant space with radical austerity, Knoebel offers a unique experience of both artists’ intentions.
Eugen Blume, Director of the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart Berlin and curator of the exhibition Zu Hilfe, zu Hilfe…, outlines the history of this artistic exchange and its remarkable outcome.

09.07.2009, 7 p.m. - Lecture by Martin Schulz
Intermedia Variations in the Art of Imi Knoebel
Drawing, light projection, photography, video, object, installation, painting – these and other media interact in Imi Knoebel’s work with stimulating reciprocity. Martin Schulz, private lecturer at the Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe, charts the complex process relationships in Knoebel’s existing oeuvre and the close intermedial and temporal connections in the artist’s diverse lines of work.

23.07.2009, 7 p.m. - Lecture by Jörg Heiser
Serial Pleasures – Industrial Scale and Artistic Form in the Work of Imi Knoebel
“Lustserien”, a term coined by Klaus Theweleit, describes the affective appropriation of “cool” media-promoted series of popular brand products. Coinciding with Pop Art, the minimalistic tendencies of the 1960s were already a reaction to these “Lustserien”. Initially, Imi Knoebel limited himself to the black and white of his “Line Paintings” and to the brown of the masonite in his famous installation Raum 19. Despite their apparent asceticism, his earliest works are “Lustserien” for two reasons. Jörg Heiser, author and co-editor of the English art magazine frieze, explores these reasons, as well as the question why color is only one aspect of seriality in Knoebel’s practice.
