What does the jellyfish want? Photographies from Man Ray to James Coleman

Photography Today, from the Collection of Museum Ludwig (working title), Following the exhibition “Facts - Tatsachen” in summer 2006, which celebrated the acquisition of the Agfa Collection, this survey exhibition in Spring 2007 will showcase contemporary photography. Starting point is the break with established tradition that came at around 1960, which is often described as a turn from photography to the photographic, and that heralded a new emphasis on the medium’s autonomy, the introduction of chance and serial production, and also the use of doc1270umentary as an artistic concept - all aspects that continue to this day to reappear in new facets. For this, a number of historical precursors will also be consciously incorporated in the exhibition (Man Ray, Moholy Nagy, Rodchenko, Sander). Also to be exhibited are works from the broader field of actionism and concept art, which were already acquired in the 1970s (e.g. Nauman, Oppenheim, Huebler, Dibbets), as well as works that highlight the inquiry into the photograph as a staged or found image (e.g. Levine, Lawler, A.and B. Blume, Klauke, Wall) as well as the rediscovery of documentarism (e.g. Bechers, Gursky, Brohm, Hanzlova). Part of the exhibition will also consist of videos.
