‘Giving a Face to the Dignity of Age’
A photo project by Thomas Brenner, the AWO Alex Müller Old People’s Home
Opening of the exhibition in the foyer of the Wadgasserhof
Saturday April 21st, 2pm
The joint photo project by the inhabitants of the Alex Müller Old People’s Home, Thomas Brenner and the AWO Palatinate is meant as a starting signal for the reduction of prejudices against age and life in an old people’s home. The photo exhibition intends to show the beauty of age without touching up the wrinkles. To show wishes, feelings and needs and to visualize modern, young subjects not expected in connection with old age, but which, when examined more closely, turn out to be just as present in older people.
Besides this, large-format black-and-white portraits show impressive momentary records of people who radiate a contentment which is thoughtful, emphasizes feeling, is mischievous and happy with life, in connection with the experience of over 80 years of life.
Saturday April 28th, 3pm, Wadgasserhof
Guided Tour of the Exhibition “Separate Earth”
‘Separate Earth’
The painting of Australian Aborigines and Ceramics by Lotte Reimers
Exhibition in the Wadgasserhof from March 25th to May 28th 2012
The unusual juxtaposition of pictures by native Australian artists and ceramics by Lotte Reimers (born in Hamburg in 1932, living and working in Deidesheim), was stimulated by the particular affinity of the artist for Aboriginal art.
The immediate dialogue of pictures and ceramic vessel sculptures opens up surprising creative relationships between the colour moods of the clay structures and glazes developed from natural materials and the painting materials used by the indigenous artists, consisting of earth pigments or tending towards these in their colour. The juxtaposition of flat surface painting and vessel bodies encourages closer examination and discovery. Stylistic and motif relationships sensitize the perception of the observer and give food for thought. The discovery of related forms and manners of formation spanning continents and cultures opens the eyes to connecting elements and at the same time points out the individual and the particular.
