Δ ONLINE CURATORS’ GUIDED TOUR

“HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT. From Being Rendered Invisible and Becoming Visible”

With Julia Albrecht (curator, Weltkulturen Education) and Lea Sante (assistant curator)

“Hidden in Plain Sight” provides an opportunity to see or hear things from (potentially) unfamiliar perspectives. Combining objects from the collection with five artistic responses, the exhibition takes a critical stance to colonialism and the associated consequences, which are still felt today. In this tour, Stephanie Endter and Lea Steinkampf will take you through the exhibition together. 

The tour will also show various views and close-ups of the exhibition. The conversation will take place on Zoom.

Δ ONLINE CURATORS’ GUIDED TOUR

The making of “GREEN SKY, BLUE GRASS. Colour Coding Worlds”. Setting up an exhibition – in pictures.

With the curator Matthias Claudius Hofmann (Oceania curator) and co-curator Vanessa von Gliszczynski (Southeast Asia curator)

Setting up an exhibition takes just a few weeks – but that period has been preceded by many months of intensive planning that involves thinking about and developing the theme, as well as coming up with a design. Once the exhibition is set up it all seems highly coherent. The themes, the exhibits and the exhibition design are all interconnected to form a complex and meaningful whole. But what lies behind the process of developing an exhibition? How are the exhibits chosen? And what conservation conditions have to be considered? What role does the architecture of our exhibition building play in the design, what impact does the design have on the theme, and how can the exhibits be displayed appropriately? In short: what happens behind the scenes before we open the exhibition?

Curator Matthias Claudius Hofmann and co-curator Vanessa von Gliszczynski will be your guides for this glimpse behind the scenes, giving you some insights into the fascinating process of developing the exhibition “GREEN SKY, BLUE GRASS. Colour Coding Worlds”.

The talk will be accompanied by visuals and followed by a chat, all via Zoom.

Free of charge.

Δ CURATORS’ GUIDED TOUR

with curator Matthias Claudius Hofmann (curator Oceania) and co-curator Vanessa von Gliszczynski (curator Southeast Asia)

Our world is full of colour, but do all cultures see it in the same way? While the scientific basis for perception is identical for everyone, light waves can’t really explain how we name our impressions of colour, the number (and kind) of categories we divide these colours into, or the meanings and associations we ascribe to them.

Using various objects from the exhibition, curator Matthias Claudius Hofmann and co-curator Vanessa von Gliszczynski show how perception of colour sometimes differs enormously depending on the language and culture involved.

Please register via the booking button “TERMIN BUCHEN”. The number of participants is limited to ten people.
