until 12.09. | #2796ARTatBerlin | oqbo | raum für bild wort ton shows from 8th August 2020 the group show … AUSSER VIELLEICHT EINE KONSTELLATION (EXCEPT MAYBE A CONSTELLATION ), an homage á Giandomenico Tiepolo, curated by Michael Glasmeier and Christian Schiebe.
To mark the 250th anniversary of the death of the Venetian Baroque painter Giambattista Tiepolo (1696-1770), we are showing the graphic series “Flight to Egypt” by his son Giandomenico Tiepolo (1727-1804), to which the father will refer just as directly in silent pictures at the end of his life as some of the artists in this exhibition. In addition, we have selected works that have a new effect in connection with this 27-part cycle. Three categories are of interest: the substantive theme of flight, of course, the labyrinthine in the global; then the formal of the narrative, the sequence, and finally the reflection on the graphic, the drawing, the line, the form, the poetry.
Giandomenico Tiepolo, Idée Pittoresche Sopra La Fugga in Egitto di Giesu, Maria e Gioseppe, 1753, Blatt 14, Detail
Tiepolo’s fine, humane and sometimes humorous depiction of the “Flight to Egypt” in particular, which rekindles our curiosity from page to page, could open up the space of contemplation with the encounter of old and new art and allow the constellations to become mobile.
