Gallery Rüdiger Schöttle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rüdiger Schöttle gallery was founded in 1968; its rooms have been located in Amalienstraße in the Bavarian capital of Munich since 2002 . Before that, the gallery space was on Prinzregentenstrasse and then on Martiusstrasse in Munich.

history

In the early 1970s, the Rüdiger Schöttle gallery dealt with avant-garde art and the visual criticism it contained. As a gallery owner, curator and essayist, the owner pursued a program in the 1980s and 1990s that opened up to the return of the narrative and the re-evaluation of images. He conceived exhibitions such as Louis XIV dances and Theatergarten Bestiarium , which were shown in the US and Europe.

Through baroque representation and historical forms of the public, he brought a moment against historical oblivion into the discourse. The program developed through intellectual engagement and in collaboration with artists such as Dan Graham .

Artists such as Günther Förg , Lawrence Weiner , James Coleman and Thomas Ruff were shown and promoted early on . The gallery created a forum for contemporary art that presented a number of artists for the first time in a solo exhibition. In his gallery work, Rüdiger Schöttle has repeatedly entered into hard breaks and changes of direction. At the beginning of the seventies he parted with artists from the ranks of Viennese Actionism because he could not do much with their expression. Conceptual art followed, for example on On Kawara or Joseph Kosuth . With artists such as Thomas Struth , Candida Höfer and Goshka Macuga , this approach still shapes the profile of the gallery today.

Conceptual content and reflection on the context represent a cross-generational and cross-media connection between the artists. In addition to the real works, they lead to theoretical discussions that accompany the creation process of their works. In the 1980s, with the inclusion of painting and photography, the representational and narrative element became more important. In the photographic works by Jeff Wall , Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff or in the films by Rodney Graham , the image medium contains, in addition to its reproductive possibilities and the fascination of the viewer, also an analytical and educational distance. Questions about the construction of identity, the connection between memory and history, situations and places go e.g. For example, the works of Candida Höfers and James Coleman, the film installations Anri Salas and David Claerbouts .
