Wolfgang Müller: Galerie Requisite

Konschthal Esch presents the first major exhibition outside Germany of Wolfgang Müller, showcasing works spanning his entire career. From his days in the art punk group Die Tödliche Doris to his explorations as a "scientist of misunderstanding," this exhibition gathers key pieces that challenge artistic identity and societal norms. Through diverse media, Müller's work engages with themes like nature, mythology, and social constructs, blending humor with critical insight to redefine how art interacts with reality.

Bert Theis: For a Collagist Philosophy

Bert Theis' For a Collagist Philosophy explores the previously unreleased book project "Parabel vom Wasserbecken" by Luxembourgish artist Bert Theis (1952 – 2016). Originating from 1986, this series of collages reflects on Edward Bellamy’s satire of capitalism, "The Parable of the Water Tank," from his novel "Equality" (1897). The exhibition presents these works alongside a broader range of Theis’s collages, probing the nature and implications of collage as both an artistic and existential medium. Theis’s work, including his Isola Art Center project, exemplifies collage not just as a technique but as a conceptual framework, transforming social spaces into living collages.
