Gemeentemuseum Den Haag
29 January 2011 – 1 May 2011
László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) made photography and film – the essential ingredient of which was light – the leading artistic media of his time. Through photography and film, art suddenly became accessible to all. This democratisation of the arts was entirely consistent with Moholy-Nagy’s utopian ideas. To him, art was part of an attitude to life, a collective mentality in which art and all other aspects of life merge in a Gesamtkunstwerk (‘integrated artwork’) or, better still, a Gesamtwerk (‘integrated work’), leading to shared progress. He was convinced of art’s ability to educate. ‘Art sharpens one’s senses, one’s view, one’s mind and one’s observations,’ he believed.
The App of the current show in the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag tells you more about the exhibits on display now, as well as Moholy-Nagy’s life and work. The application contains:
- the entire audio guide to the exhibition
- photos to every audio station in the exhibition
- a detailed biography of László Moholy-Nagy with photos from the Bauhaus Archiv, Berlin
- the films “Berlin Still Life” and “Light Play – Black-White-Grey“ in full length
- useful information for your trip to the Gemeentemuseum
To mark its centenary, the Kunsthaus Zurich is paying tribute to Pablo Picasso, the towering genius of the twentieth century, with a comprehensive homage to a sensational show. This was the artist’s first ever museum-based retrospective, held in 1932. The exhibition, which ran from September to November of that year at the Kunsthaus Zurich, had been put together by the Spanish painter in person – a revolution in the art world. It was new for the works in a museum-based exhibition to be selected by the artist himself, rather than the museum director. Now, around 100 of the best pieces from that show are on display at the Kunsthaus once again – a unique experience!
The App of the current show tells you more about the stupendous exhibits on display now and the retrospective of 1932, as well as Picasso’s life and work.
The application contains:
- the entire audio guide to the exhibition
- lots of photos of the 1932 retrospective
- a facsimile of the contemporary catalogue to browse through
- a detailed biography of the artist
- photos from Picasso’s visit to Zurich and other periods of the Master’s life
- information about the centenary of the Kunsthaus Zurich
