Arche Noah: Über Tier und Mensch in der Kunst [Noah's Ark: On Animals and Humans in Art], Museum Ostwall im Dortmunder U, Dortmund, November 14 2014 — 12 April 2015
The exhibition focuses on man’s relationship to animals and its representation in art of the 20th century to the present. August Macke’s 1912 painting ‘The Great Zoo’, and Mark Dion’s installation ‘Frankenstein in the Age of Biotechnology’ made in the late 1990s, provide polar starting points for the exhibition, which includes approximately 150 works from the museum’s permanent collection, national loans, as well as projects with live animals. Curated by Katja Knicker and Kurt Wettengl.
