Artistas como Ai Weiwei participam da exposição do museu, que possui a maior coleção de Pop Art da Europa
A partir deste sábado (27/08), o Museu Ludwig, na cidade alemã de Colônia, celebra os seus 40 anos de existência com uma exposição coletiva formada por 25 artistas de todo o mundo, incluindo nomes como o chinês Ai Weiwei e o africano Georges Adéagbo.
Não é difícil entender por que o museu foi capaz de reunir tantos artistas renomados – afinal, o Ludwig tem o maior acervo de Pop Art da Europa e a terceira maior coleção de Pablo Picasso do mundo, além de ser reconhecido por seu conjunto de fotografias e de obras do expressionismo alemão. Entre os artistas com obras no museu, estão Max Erns, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Jackson Pollock e Mondrian.
Organizada pelo diretor e todos os curadores do museu, a mostra “Call It Ludwig” convidou artistas a expressarem o que o museu representa para eles. A proposta não é oferecer ao público um conceito definido sobre o local, mas várias perspectivas diferentes – e subjetivas – sobre o museu.
O artista Georges Adéagbo, por exemplo, ampliou a sua instalação “Explorer and Explorers Facing the History of Exploration…!”, que foi adquirida pelo Ludwig em 2003. Ele espalhou obras por diversas salas do museu com o objetivo de interagir e ressaltar o acervo permanente do local. Na área de entrada do museu, Adéagbo dispôs um tapete vermelho e quatro esculturas de madeira.
Já Ai Weiwei criou uma instalação aludindo à obra de Marcel Duchamp “Roda de Bicicleta” (1913). O artista chinês, que já declarou ter sido influenciado pelas ideias de Duchamp, apresenta na mostra um conjunto de várias bicicletas dispostas em um círculo infinito. O nome da instalação, “Forever”, faz uma referencia a uma marca chinesa de bicicletas e é uma provocação ao conceito do tempo nos bens de consumo atuais.
O Museu Ludwig surgiu depois que o casal Peter e Irene Ludwig doou mais de 350 obras de arte moderna para a cidade de colônia, em 1976, uma década antes da abertura do prédio atual da instituição. A exposição comemorativa celebra a visão global que o casal tinha diante da arte. Por exemplo, ambos mantinham uma proximidade com Cuba, onde conheceram o artista Diango Hernández, que participa da mostra. Desta vez, o cubano criou murais que refletem a sua visão sobre a história do museu.
Além de trabalhar com artistas que de alguma forma estão conectados com a história do museu, os curadores da exposição também quiseram apontar para o futuro da arte ao convidar novos nomes para a mostra – a exemplo da dupla de artistas da Romênia Alexandra Pirici e Manuel Pelmus, que farão performances no Ludwig ao longo do período da exibição. Nas apresentações, o duo fará interpretações próprias de trabalhos selecionados, como de Marina Abramovic.

We Call It Ludwig.
The Museum is turning 40!
August 27, 2016 – January 08, 2017
Opening: Friday, August 26, 7 p.m.
The group exhibition We Call It Ludwig is the high point of the landmark year 2016 at the Museum Ludwig. For the anniversary exhibition, which was jointly conceived by the director and all the museum’s curators, twenty-five international artists and artist collectives have been invited to engage in depth with the institution and to react to the question of what the Museum Ludwig means to them.
The title We Call It Ludwig was purposely kept open-ended, since the exhibition is not intended to offer a concrete definition, but a variety of subjective perspectives that together form a kaleidoscopic image of the institution. The Museum Ludwig defines itself in large part based on its own history, its collection, and, above all, the people who have shaped it – as an artists’ museum. We Call It Ludwig accounts for this situation by reflecting along with these participants in the art system on what the museum has been, is, and can be.
The selection of twenty-five participating artists spanning every continent deliberately underscores Peter and Irene Ludwig’s global approach to the collection. For instance, they maintained close contacts with Cuba, where they met the artist Diango Hernández in the mid- 1990s. Now Hernández will translate important exhibition titles from the history of the museum as well as its logo into a sensual and poetic landscape of undulating seating and murals.
The Guerrilla Girls collective will take a very different approach by critically reevaluating the collection from a feminist perspective. Maria Eichhorn, by contrast, will deal with the processes that led to the signing of an employment contract with her as an artist, thus emphasizing the administrative structure of the museum. With The Chocolate Master from 1981, Hans Haacke will present the result of his meticulous and critical research on the family and corporate history of the chocolate manufacturers and art collectors Peter and Irene Ludwig.
Participating artists:
Georges Adéagbo, Ai Weiwei, Ei Arakawa & Michel Auder, Minerva Cuevas, Maria Eichhorn, Andrea Fraser, Meschac Gaba, Guerrilla Girls, Hans Haacke, Diango Hernández, Candida Höfer, Bodys Isek Kingelez, Kuehn Malvezzi, Christian Philipp Müller, Marcel Odenbach, Ahmet Ögüt, Claes Oldenburg, Pratchaya Phinthong, Alexandra Pirici & Manuel Pelmuş, Gerhard Richter, Avery Singer, Jürgen Stollhans, Rosemarie Trockel, Villa Design Group, Christopher Williams
