Urs
Lüthi Selfportraits The number girl, 1973
URS LÜTHI Art is the better life | Eröffnung:
FR 29 MAI 09 | 18 - 21 Uhr
| bis 28.9.2009
Mit “Art Is The Better Life” zeigt die Sammlung Falckenberg in
den Phoenix-Hallen vom 29.5. bis 28.9.2009 die
bisher größte Präsentation des künstlerischen Werkes von Urs
Lüthi in Deutschland. Die Retrospektive
zeigt u.a. die berühmten fotografischen Selbstportraits und die
jüngst entstandenen Skulpturen.
Urs Lüthi (b. 1947 in Kriens), now based in Munich, is one of
the most significant Swiss artists of the present day. The retrospective
will provide the most extensive survey of his work so far. Alongside
his little-known early work from the 1960s, his famous photographic
self-portraits, painting cycles and most recent sculptures will
be shown. Lüthi is a gifted draughtsman, printmaker, painter and
sculptor, as well as a story-teller and stager of big stories and
small emotions. This dialectic of form and content, which guides
the viewer into an experience that is both aesthetic and intellectual,
informs his whole oeuvre.
Die Ausstellung
wurde vom Kunstmuseum
Luzern konzipiert
und bereits vom 7 FEB 09 - 10 MAI 09 in der Schweiz gezeigt.

Dr. Harald Falckenberg
Private collector, founder of Kulturstiftung Phoenix Art
Harald Falckenberg, born in 1943, is one of Germany's
most important private collectors. His collection, gathered over a
period of 12 years and containing around 1,600 works, covers the last
forty years and includes seminal works by Vito Acconci, Günter
Brus, Dieter Roth, Mike Kelley, Paul McCarthy, Richard Prince, Martin
Kippenberger, Albert Oehlen, Raimond Pettibon, Franz Ackermann, Jonathan
Meese,
John Bock and others.
Falckenberg is President of the
Kunstverein of Hamburg. He studied law at Freibourg,
Berlin and Hamburg where he obtained his Doctorate
Degree with a dissertation on ‘Comparative International
Law‘. Since 1979, he works as General Manager of an
oil company. He is also Honorary Judge at the Constitutional
Court of Hamburg.
Kulturstiftung Phoenix Art – Phoenix Art Foundation
A Forum for Contemporary Art
Phoenix Art, open to the public since September
2001, was created by entrepreneur and art collector Harald Falckenberg
and Phoenix AG, to put works of contemporary art from private collection
on display for the public. It is not intended to be a static museum,
but rather a forum for encounters, events and workshops.
The exhibition centre, housed
in a vacant factory space in the centre of Hamburg-Harburg,
has become an internationally recognized forum for
contemporary art. From the building, approximately
6000 square meters are devoted to exhibits featuring
international art collections and single shows of exemplary
outsiders including Öyvind Fahlström, Arthur
Köpcke, Hanne Darboven, Otto Mühl and Peter
Weibel etc.
Works from the collections of
F.C. Gundlach, Klaus Lafrenz and Ingvild Götz
have been shown. The exhibitions are designed by independent
curators, as for instance Zdenek Felix, former director
of Hamburg’s Deichtorhallen.
Schaulager - ShowDepot
Another area is used to house
the collection of Harald Falckenberg, the backbone
of the foundation. The collection has been put together
on the basis of a committed social debate and an interest
in the role of art in modern society. The works are
presented in two areas, one of them accessible to the
visitors who may pull out the installed sliding walls
with the art works.
The transformation of the historic
Phoenix plants – which could no longer be used for
industrial activities – provides an impressive demonstration
of what can be done with such buildings, and reflects
the company’s conviction that dealing with art will
encourage creative thinking on the part of employees.

Paul
Thek is not only known as a legendary founder of
installation art, but his precarious environments
have had an influence on lifestyle. Later generations
of artists who put subjectivity at the center of
their works have followed Paul Thek not only in
their excessivity with overflowing installations
spanning space and material. Like him, they have
pushed the question of the interpretability of
art to its limits. Thek broke the mold of canonization
and convention. Therefore, it is no wonder that
Susan Sontag dedicated her book »Against Interpretation«
to Paul Thek.
Paul Thek is the epitome of an »artist's artist,«
whose influence extends through to the most recent
generation of artists. Our selection concentrates-with
many exceptions and with no claim to being complete-on
the works of younger artists who have a close
relationship to Thek’s diverse oeuvre. Beginning
from his approaches, their works appear as independent
positions in the contemporary art world. Against
this backdrop. Thek's work is looked at from
a current perspective.
Paul Thek occupied a place
between high art and low art, between the epic
and the everyday. During his brief life (1933-1988),
he went against the grain of art world trends,
humanizing the institutional spaces of art
with the force of his humor, spirituality,
and character. Twenty years after Thek's death
from AIDS, we can now recognize his influence
on contemporary artists ranging from Vito Acconci
and Bruce Nauman to Matthew Barney, Mike Kelley,
and Paul McCarthy, as well as Kai Althoff,
Jonathan Meese, and Thomas Hirschhorn.This
book brings together more than 300 of Thek's
works - many of which are published here for
the first time - to offer the most comprehensive
display of his work yet seen. The book, which
accompanies an exhibition at ZKM | Museum of
Contemporary Art presenting Thek's work in
dialogue with contemporary art by young artists,
includes painting, sculpture, drawing, and
installation work, as well as photographs documenting
the room-size environments into which Thek
incorporated elements from art, literature,
theater, and religion.These works chart Thek's
journey from legendary outsider to foundational
figure in contemporary art.
In their antiheroic diversity, Thek's works embody the art revolution
of the 1960s; indeed, Susan Sontag dedicated her classic Against
Interpretation to him. Thek's treatment of the body in such works
as "Technological Reliquaries," with their castings
and replicas of human body parts, tissue, and bones, both evoke
the aura of Christian relics and anticipate the work of Damien
Hirst. The book, with more than 500 images (300 in color) and
nineteen essays by art historians, curators, collectors, and
artists, investigates Thek's work on its own terms and as a starting
point for understanding the work of the many younger artists
Thek has influenced.
The works by Thek
thereby also serve as a starting point for investigating
the works of other artists represented in the exhibition.
