At this year’s Art Cologne (7-11 November 2024) the LBBW Collection has been showing the collection presentation “Transitions”. Curated by Birgit Wiesenhütter, the show featured works from the LBBW Collection that not only create transitions between artistic genres and media, but also relate formally and in terms of content to diverse transitions in space, time, society and culture. In this video, Barbara Thomann (LBBW Collection) and Birgit Wiesenhütter (freelance curator) take us on a tour of the show. (in German language, english subtitles via YouTube).

“’Transitions’ reflects processes of change. Transitions accompany the crossing of boundaries and at the same time create connections,” explains Birgit Wiesenhütter, who curated the collection presentation as an independent curator. “Nature, every person, every society is in a process of constant change and transition. Transitions are therefore something that we are constantly experiencing.”

Part of the exhibition is a special presentation of works by Tim Berresheim (*1975) with a wallpaper that can be viewed in 3D through 3D glasses. The artist’s works illustrate the transition to a digital world. As an “early bird” (the title of one of the artist’s series), he has been using the computer as a malleable tool to create his images for over 20 years. Some of the works are augmented and can be experienced in their digital extension with the help of an app.
