Franz Ackermann at the Kunstmuseum Bonn

17 Dec 2009

The Kunstmuseum Bonn is pleased to present an exciting new body of work by Bavarian artist Franz Ackermann.

Ackermann has specifically developed a painting and drawing installation that spans six separate rooms of the museum space. The different themes begin sequentially with a ‘tropical terminal’ in the museum’s main exhibition room, where a painted mural runs through the five consecutive gallery rooms.

Ackermann has incorporated sound installations, videos and the Internet to create a space in which the viewer not only enjoys the bright colours of the paintings and drawings, but also considers themes of globalization and travel.

A catalogue printed in both English and German and featuring texts by curator Stefan Gronert and Stephan Berg, accompanies the exhibition.
