ATLAS 07.05.–07.08.2011 ZKM | Museum für Neue Kunst In what way do certain artists work, and how do they develop their ideas? The ZKM | Museum of Contemporary Art shows an interdisciplinary exhibition which, commencing with Aby Warburg’s illustrated atlas »Mnemosyne«, covers a period extending from the early years of the 20th century through to the 21st century. The focus of the exhibition falls less on the completed work as such, than the work surfaces and inspirational sources that disclose the creative processes. The exhibition addresses the question as to the ways in which the work of the artist is to be interpreted in terms of representing an authentic method. How is it possible to observe the world without following the standard of our knowledge? In keeping with the formulation of this question, the concept behind ATLAS is not directed at collecting »master pieces«: the task of foremost interest is the discovery of sources on which artists have drawn, and which thus make the diverse artistic procedures comprehensible. Thus, it is not Paul Klee’s water colors that are exhibited but, among others, his modest herbarium and the graphical and theoretical ideas which it inspired; it is not Josef Albers' squares that are presented, but his photograph album of pictures of pre-Columbian buildings. ///Auf welche Weise arbeiten bestimmte Künstler, wie entwickeln sie ihre Ideen? Das ZKM | Museum für Neue Kunst zeigt eine interdisziplinäre Ausstellung, die ausgehend vom Bilderatlas »Mnemosyne« von Aby Warburg den Bogen quer durch das 20. bis ins 21. Jahrhundert spannt. Nicht das vollendete Werk, sondern die Arbeitsfläche und Inspirationsquellen stehen im Vordergrund der Ausstellung, die kreative Prozesse offen legen will. Die Ausstellung formuliert die Frage, wie die Arbeit des Künstlers aus der Perspektive einer authentischen Methode zu sehen ist. Wie können wir die Welt betrachten, ohne dem Standard unseres Wissens zu folgen? Entsprechend dieser Fragestellung ist das Konzept von ATLAS nicht darauf angelegt »Meisterwerke« zu versammeln. Im Vordergrund steht die Aufgabe, Quellen zu eruieren, aus denen Künstler schöpften und damit diverse künstlerische Vorgehensweisen nachvollziehbar zu machen. Daher werden nicht Paul Klees Aquarelle zu sehen sein, sondern u. a. sein bescheidenes Herbarium und die durch dieses angeregten graphischen und theoretischen Ideen. Nicht Josef Albers' Quadrate werden präsentiert, sondern sein Fotoalbum mit Aufnahmen präkolumbianischer Bauten.
