A Sunday in the Museum: "First Sunday" at the Abteiberg Museum

04.05.2025
On the first Sunday in May, the Museum Abteiberg offers hourly guided tours and art talks on the current exhibitions as well as on selected topics from the collection.

The collection moves and is in motion: Regularly, new works from the collection and already exhibited works are presented in new places. This results in new thematic and formal connections, as with the current exhibition Contact M by Park McArthur, which invites discovery.

Contact M by Park McArthur brings together for the first time artworks created in the 2010s and 2020s. These works and the forms they take are guided by personal and societal meanings of disability, delay, and dependence. Questions of simultaneous experience and accessibility of art and culture shape the format and concept of this project.

Whether a sunset made of salami or a joint on a telescope as a "lifesaver," SAMMLUNG/ARCHIV ANDERSCH also shows itself humorously in Field Experiment #4: Køpcke – Roth. At the same time, it becomes clear what a central role Fluxus played in conceptual art. Field Experiment #4: Køpcke – Roth focuses on works and documents from Arthur Køpcke and Dieter Roth, among others, Shigeko Kubota, George Maciunas, Yoko Ono, Robin Page, and Benjamin Patterson. Art Guides are open to questions and discussions.

In the midst of the collection, the study room for provenance research is set up. Using the back of the painting Female Nude in Green by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, methods of provenance research are made clearly understandable. Art Guides are also available for questions and discussions here.

In the open painting class, children aged 5 and older and teenagers can get creative. Children's tours also invite wonder. The museum café is open from 12:30 to 5 PM. A volunteer team from the Museum Association Abteiberg e.V. will welcome visitors with coffee and homemade baked goods.
