Take Care
Art and Medicine
Exhibition
08.04.22 – 17.07.22
The issue of health occupies a central place in the public debate. At the same time, concern with physical well-being in art is as old as art itself. By interpreting through the senses and intuition, art can play a vital role in helping us to comprehend intertwined systems such as the body, sickness and recovery, medicine and environmental factors. The exhibition retraces selected key moments in medical history from the 19th century to the present day, with works on loan from medical history collections along with some 80 artistic names including Sabian Baumann, Rachal Bradley, Georges Chicotot, Honoré Daumier, Adolf Fleischmann, Damien Hirst, Ferdinand Hodler, Martin Kippenberger, Paul Klee, Herlinde Koelbl, Manon, Wangechi Mutu, Maria Pomiansky, Marc Quinn, RELAX (chiarenza & hauser & co), Ana Roldán, Talaya Schmid, Kiki Smith, Veronika Spierenburg, Jules Spinatsch, Annie Sprinkle, Luc Tuymans and Varlin.
