Exhibitions Current Preview Archive Visitor's information Publications Order form		Ein Stück vom Himmel - A kind of heaven   February 20, 1997 - April 13, 1997   The appearance and shape of art in the nineties is influenced by globally defined aesthetic norms as well as by a high emphasis on the individual and the retreat into the private realm. This exhibition demonstrates artistic positions reacting to the pressure to be perfect and easily read - a result of the seventies' mass media. This includes the expression of individual desires and fantasies. Some strategies for dealing with big issues like Life, Love and Death were borrowed from the world of advertising and popular culture. But a very elementary sense of romanticism and humours lies hidden behind the tense smile of banality. The exhibition will present works by Rita Ackermann, Vanessa Beecroft, Ute Behrend, Matti Braun, Sylvie Fleury, Jun Hasegawa, Mariko Mori, Elizabeth Peyton, Liza May Post, Pipilotti Rist, Georgina Starr and Jane & Louise Wilson. The show is curated by Eva Meyer-Hermann (Kunsthalle Nürnberg) and Sadie Coles (London). The exhibition will be on show in London after its Nuremberg venue. Parallel to the exhibition, a programme of videos will be screened in the SchmidtBank-Galerie, Lorenzer Platz 29. An ensemble of sculptures to sit on designed by the artist Matti Braun will invite visitors to stay in the area for a while.
