We cordially invite you to the guided tour in English on Saturday, 22nd of February 2025, at 4 pm at the Museum Gunzenhauser. The guided tour will take place in the exhibition Unwritten – On Growing Up.
What do we think about youth? What dreams, wishes, illusions, but also turbulences and difficulties are associated with it and adulthood afterwards?
In the exhibition Unwritten – On Growing Up, 20th century female artists from the Gunzenhauser Museum collection meet contemporary positions. In the diverse works by Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gabriele Münter, Donna Volta Newmen, Theresa Rothe, Josefine Schulz, Johanna Seidel and Theresa Tuffner, this exciting, intense, but also challenging phase of life becomes clear as formative for our identity, our memories, but also our understanding of the future. They emphasise tenderness, warmth, but also vulnerability. The artworks capture a certain melancholy, but are also characterised by a great deal of humour and strength. They contain unifying, cross-generational experiences that find expression in sculptures, spatial installations, prints, paintings and drawings. Themes such as love, friendship, role models, empathy and self-empowerment reappear again and again, but also sadness and inner turmoil. There is a touch of youthful lightness, but also the question – when do you actually become an adult?
With artistic positions by Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gabriele Münter, Donna Volta Newmen, Theresa Rothe, Josefine Schulz, Johanna Seidel and Theresa Tuffner.
