The series MIXED MEDIA, which Kicken Berlin has curated since 2015, presents various media of modernist art of the twentieth century in dialog with one another: photography, painting, drawing, graphic art, and sculpture. Following the themes of portraiture (2015) and abstraction (2016), the third exhibition now turns to architecture, encompassing a diverse range of artistic forms, from sketches to sculptural models.
In the current exhibition MIXED MEDIA (III), new works from Joachim Brohm’s series Mies Model Study and State of M. are the jumping-off point for a dialog between photographs, drawings, and models by various artists and architects, including Erich Mendelsohn, Walter Gropius and Hans Poelzig, Enrico Prampolini and Hermann Finsterlin, László Moholy-Nagy and Lucia Moholy, Werner Mantz,
Albert Renger-Patzsch and August Sander, as well as works from legendary schools such as the Bauhaus and the Russian Vkhutemas. Their works give expression to the clear and objective structure of Neues Bauen (New Building) while others illustrate the organic and dynamic ideas behind expressive and futuristic Utopias. An echo of these can be heard in the later forms of industrial architecture in works by Bernd and Hilla Becher.
