Düsseldorf, Germany: “Beyond Tomorrow” is the theme of Quadriennale Düsseldorf 2014 (April 5 – August 10), Düsseldorf’s major fine arts festival that will connect 13 of the city’s most important art venues for 4 months this year. It will feature many events all over the city, with many opportunities for visitors to explore the “future” and make one of Europe’s art capitals an even bigger destination for art enthusiasts from around the world.
Highlights of Quadriennale Düsseldorf 2014 at some of the city’s biggest art venues include:
“Art and Alchemy – The Mystery of Transformation” (Kunst und Alchemie – Das Geheimnis der Verwandlung) at the Museum Kunstpalast, an exhibit about the electrifying relationship between art and alchemy, with a variety of works from antiquity to the modern age. Artists shown include: Joseph Beuys, Jan Brueghel d.Ä., Lucas Cranach, Hendrick Goltzius, Max Ernst, Rebecca Horn, Anish Kapoor, Yves Klein, Sigmar Polke, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Peter Paul Rubens.
K20 Museum, which houses the collection of the State North Rhine-Westphalia, will show “Kandinsky, Malevich, Mondrian – The Infinite White Abyss” (Kandinsky, Malewitsch, Mondrian – Der weiße Abgrund Unendlichkeit), an exploration of white parts in the works of the title’s three artists.
Utopic and anti-utopic aspects of life below ground is the focus of an exhibit at K21 Museum, titled “Beneath the Ground: From Kafka to Kippenberger” (Unter der Erde: Von Kafka bis Kippenberger).
“Smart New World” is the name of the exhibit at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, which examines “data capitalism” and its effects on everyday life, such as permanent surveillance and the shifting of lives from private to public.
