Duckomenta

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Duckomenta is a traveling exhibition , the name of which is a parody of the documenta in Kassel . It exhibits pictures and sculptures based on famous works, except that the figures depicted are ducks in the style of Donald Duck . Occasionally there are also mice figures in the style of Mickey Mouse .

Works of art (selection)

For example, the Mona Lisa is depicted as a duck or the two men contemplating the moon in duck shapes (instead of people). Many of the artists' names have also been alienated, for example a self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh as "Vincent van Dough" (in the form of a duck). There are parodies of works of art from almost all eras, such as Thutmosis' bust of Nefertiti ("Queen Duckfretete") to Miró or Ötzi , who is lying here with a duck's bill and is called "Dötzi".

The duckomenta has been seen in numerous places in Europe , including a. the Palais Palffy in Vienna (1987 and 1992), the Kunsthal Rotterdam (2000), the Erlangen Comic Salon (2010), the Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum Hildesheim (2010/11), and the Museum Weltkulturen der Reiss-Engelhorn Museums in Mannheim (2015/16) and in the Archaeological Museum Hamburg (2017/18).
