As a comprehensive show of 1967 in Stuttgart, born and living in Berlin artist Albrecht Schafer, the exhibition shows works from different years, and new, specifically designed for the place works.
With a variety of media-such as installation, sculpture, video, frottage and collage, as well as newspaper clippings-the artist creates constantly work on daylight, tungsten, light, shadow.Visibility and invisibility play a central role.
For this reason, the invitation to Albrecht Schafer, a loose series of exhibitions started in 2007 continues, the artist invites to special architectural features of the museum reflect Morsbroich to pose for the architecture of a neo-baroque palace of light and water movement essential elements.
A day in the installation of the artists runs through the entire exhibition rooms and the lobby of the museum with a one-line text line that forms as a substantive and thematic approach, the staple of the exhibition. The text is taken from a day's edition of the newspaper Die Welt, the broken in their layout and typesetting is cut by sentence. The resulting text line will be mounted at eye level on the wall-interrupted only by the images belonging respectively. The result is a coordinate system that the installation of other work-"on" or "below" the line-determined. The line itself is viewed from a distance to horizon. Up close is the text as a continuous flow of text re-read, the reading experience supports the architectural idea of the sequence from room to room.
A force of battens "ton" as well as their existing counterparts of the same material, "spider" are also another issue related to the specific work. The construction of the assembled in a large corner rooms spider is maintained as that of the barrel only by a mutual tension. The spider in the corner of the room toward the middle curved roof slats block the viewer's entry into the exhibition space, while in the central exhibition space installed, bulbous barrel alludes to the symmetry of the place and inviting the attendees to encircle them.
