Museum im Kulturspeicher Würzburg Lichtbild und Datenbild Spuren Konkreter Fotografie
The Museum im Kulturspeicher Würzburg with its Peter C. Ruppert Collection is one of the centers for Concrete Art in Germany. Back in 2005, the museum proposed the concept of "Concrete Photography" as a productive new field of research. Ten years later, the exhibition Lichtbild und Datenbild – Spuren Konkreter Fotografie ventures to update this investigation, inquiring primarily on the basis of works from the last ten years into how Concrete Photography can be redefined in our digital age. The exhibition catalog shows a few classics of Concrete Photography from the Ruppert Collection and then proceeds to track the traces of nonrepresentational, self-reflexive photography in contemporary art. Some photo artists are responding to the digitization of their medium with a return to the apparatus and to experimentation with photo paper and photosensitive material, while others make use of the new technical possibilities to generate images on the computer that are fully autonomous from the outside world. In both approaches, the experimentation seemingly knows no bounds. The relish in generating images that are more than an imitation of nature thus remains the essential characteristic of the "Concrete" attitude, expressed in myriad exciting ways. Artists: Théodore Bally, Kilian Breier, Nina Brauhauser, Marco Breuer, Richard Caldicott, Michel Campeau, Pierre Cordier, Akos Czigány, Inge Dick, Christian Doeller, Philipp Dorl, Christiane Feser, Johannes Franzen, Adam Fuss, Hein Gravenhorst, Franco Grignani, Heinz Hajek-Halke, Raphael Hefti, Heinrich Heidersberger, Stefan Heyne, Karl Martin Holzhäuser, Horáková + Maurer, Roger Humbert, Gottfried Jäger, Peter Keetman, Anton Kehrer, Ola Kolehmainen, Pit Kroke, Jacinthe Lessard-L, René Mächler, Andreas Müller-Pohle, Jaromír Novotný, Jerzy Olek, Michael Reisch, Christiane Richter, Thomas Ruff, Jörg Sasse, Otto Steinert, Claus Stolz, Wolfgang Tillmans, James Welling, Luigi Veronesi
