Art in Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf has developed into an important centre for contemporary art in recent years, with both estab- lished museums and countless new ones being characteristic features of the city on the Rhine today. The world-famous Kunstakademie (art academy) acts as the central core for Düsseldorf’s highly contrasting art landscape. Internationally renowned artists either teach or were taught in its halls. Countless represen tatives of the younger generation of artists, who are now recognised names in the context of international exhibitions, had their beginnings in Düsseldorf. And Düsseldorf gallery owners also enjoy the highest reputations internationally; their galleries are the forums of the lively local art scene.

Museum Kunstpalast www.smkp.de
The exhibition is dedicated to the motifs of “veil” and “curtain” and thus also to fundamental questions around painting and visual art: What do we get to see in the picture? What does it conceal? The appealing and artistically vir- tuoso interplay between showing and hiding, concealing and revealing, is exemplified in the high-calibre loans from international museums – from Titian to Rubens to Gerhard Richter, and with paintings ranging from the Renaissance and baroque to modernism and the present day.

Otto Dix (1891–1969) spent the ex- plosively creative years 1922–1925 in Düsseldorf. During this period, as a member of the revolutionary art- ist’s group “Das Junge Rheinland (Young Rhineland)”, he developed the critical handwriting that made him an unmistakable figure within 20th century German art. For the first time, Kunstsammlung Nord- rhein-Westfalen presents with “Otto Dix – The Evil Eye“ at K20 a monographic exhibition that focus- es on these crucial years in Dix’s development.

“Broodthaers“ presents an overview of the oeuvre of the Belgian artist Marcel Broodthaers (1924–1976), who formulated a critical and idiosyncratic position within the milieu of pop art, minimalism, and Conceptual Art. Within a short time, Broodthaers received emphatic acclaim on the avant-garde art scene with the institution- critical, installation and cinematographic works that have estab- lished him as a figure of fundamental importance for visual art in the 20th and early 21st centuries.

Malte Bruns Tremors 11.03–11.06.2017
KIT–Kunst im Tunnel www.kunst-im-tunnel.de
With its striking architecture, the venue presents a challenge for Bruns whose works combine elements of film, photography, sculpture and architecture, constructed into an artistic whole. As if stepping through Alice’s looking glass, the visitor enters a panopticon with observation technology that creates an asso- ciative assemblage of allegedly historic pictures and apparatus.
