WOLFGANG LAIB | A Mountain not to climb on. For Monet
This presentation will bring together works specially created by the artist for the museum’s very special architecture, in dialogue with that ode to nature and beauty formed by Monet’s Nymphéas. In the works of Wolfgang Laib (born in Germany in 1950), nature invades art. As a result, his materials, which include pollen, milk, rice and beeswax, dictate the final forms of the simple, geometrically-shaped sculptures created by the artist (squares, cones and alignments). Each of his works is presided over by a series of simple, economical actions involving a relationship with nature.

ALFREDO JAAR | The Kestner Gesellschaft
The Kestner Gesellschaft is delighted to announce a new façade project: BE AFRAID OF THE ENORMITY OF THE POSSIBLE. The title of this work is based on a quote from the Romanian philosopher Emile Cioran (1911-1995). Emile Cioran is one of Alfredo Jaar's favorite authors and is frequently quoted by the artist. The artist chose this quote because of its deep ambiguity. As is his way, Cioran expresses here an idea and its possible opposite.

ANSELM KIEFER | Anselm Kiefer. Fallen Angels
Palazzo Strozzi is proud to host an exhibition conceived and realised in collaboration with Anselm Kiefer titled "Anselm Kiefer. Fallen Angels". The exhibition provides an opportunity to engage with the German artist through a collection of historical works and new productions, including a large new work created in dialogue with the Renaissance courtyard. The exhibition is curated by Arturo Galansino, General Director of the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, and Anselm Kiefer. Fallen Angels is an exploration of allegories, figures, and forms that reflect on identity, poetry, historical events, and various philosophical thoughts. Anselm Kiefer's art employs painting, sculpture, installation, and photography to propose a path of introspection on the human condition, exploring the connections between the past, present, and future.

William Kentridge | Self-Portrait as a Coffee Pot | Venice
William Kentridge's new 9-episode series, Self-Portrait as a Coffee Pot, will premiere in Venice in an installation curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. Shot during, and in the aftermath of, the 2020–2022 COVID-19 pandemic, and completed in 2023, these works will be viewed in a unique, concentrated environment that partially recreates Kentridge's Johannesburg studio where they were made. "Filming began in the first lockdown and the studio mimicked the closed spaces of Covid", states William Kentridge, "but the studio is also an enlarged head, a chamber for thoughts and reflections where all the drawings, photos and detritus on the studio walls become these thoughts".

REINHARD MUCHA |Mucha – WICHTIG LEBEN !
Reinhard Mucha, born in Düsseldorf in 1950, could be summed up in this formula with his “model making.” The potential of the matter is his raw material, the potential to radiate neuralgic emotional states with a sculptural frequency all its own. Filing cabinets, index card boxes, historical furniture—for Mucha, not “yesterday’s news,” not “the end of the story” (from the arsenal of his titles), but the beginning of his own new arrangements, reconfigured and thus abstracted. Freed from the original functional context of everyday life, in which they have served their purpose, literally cut free, things become the building blocks for mostly sculptural formal inventions that stand for themselves, namely as art. Including axiomatic achievements, such as the legacy of Marcel Duchamp, i.e. the significance of even the choice of an object, as well as the unconditional belief in the narrative power of the material à la Joseph Beuys, the expansion of the artistic field through conceptual art, and the stock of forms of minimalism. Mucha deconstructs this pool of ideas into its component parts, as he does with other materials, in order to then reintegrate individual components into the work — transformed with his assistance. For example, he recodes the formal language of minimal art, its clean self-referentiality, into a display of individual experience. In typical Mucha fashion, this display character then becomes his subject again, to which he adds footnotes of self-reflection, for example when he “shows” works in works as inserts, thus thematizing the exhibition itself through their co-exhibition.
