Wolfgang Tillmans. Weltraum
Internationally regarded as one of the most influential and prolific artists of our time, Wolfgang Tillmans’ (*1968, Remscheid) impact extends beyond the art world into music and pop culture, shaping how we perceive images—and, by extension, our reality.
Mit seiner Ausstellung
Weltraum marks Tillmans’ first major museum show in Germany in over half a decade. Following extensive retrospectives in the US and Canada, the exhibition will once again focus on entirely new works created since 2022. The starting point for Tillmans’ latest photographic series is, in part, a journey that began in San Francisco, the hub of digital technologies on the US West Coast, and continued through Guam to Southeast Asia. In regions such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Mongolia, Tillmans continued his investigation into the material traces of internet corporations and AI companies, observing how these industries intertwine disparate locales into a dense global network.
Tillmans‘ weltumspannende Neugier
Tillmans’ boundless curiosity, which seamlessly spans geographies and disciplines, serves as the foundation for his exploration of contemporary visual culture. His work repeatedly tackles the challenge of translating complex realities into visual forms, offering accessible perspectives that encourage fearless, open coexistence.
Seine zum Teil
Weltraum will prominently feature large-scale images that engage in a dialogue with historical artworks from the SKD collections, creating a dynamic exchange between present and historical contexts.
