GIACOMETTI - NAUMAN
The new exhibition in Frankfurt in the Schirn.
Official opening tonight.
Runs until 22.1.2017
Well done again, Schirn,
putting together two so different artists.
With Giacometti you lure the elderly generations to see the show,
they have to walk through the mixed objects:
classic Giacomettis with extrem body orientated installations
of Nauman, showing balls and hairy arm pits.
Jeans.
American standard outfit. Seen from the back.
By American artist Bruce Nauman.
Jeans?
Jean = Jean Sibelius and others carry this first name.
By Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti.
Did you know that Giacometti made these, too?
The background video shows Nauman holding his balls.
Detail.
Reflexion of Nauman's neon light object
on Giacometti showcase of glass.
See the object inside,
this close Nauman came to Giacometti.
WAR.
Always a theme.
Media moments with the curator, Mrs. Ester Schlicht.
I just had to take this pic!
This Nauman installation pleased me with its colours.
Shadow play.
Even with a tv-camera: shadow play.
This is a pic from the catalogue.
Oderazzi recommends:
see the originals in the exhibition and enjoy the shadows!
Like here, the cage study.
No, I did not take black and white photos,
check the upper right corner of this photo.
THEATER OF THE ABSURD.
Yes, indeed. Video installations. Either you like them or not.
As always, also the sketches of the artists are shown.
Framed = art.
Do not miss the mirror installation in the beginning!
Only camera lens can get inside it.
Also Giacometti, be surprised!
I like the layout of the catalogue, with partly colored pages.

PS: do not forget to check the building site of the new old town next to Schirn.
This is how it looks like today:
35 houses are being constructed on the historical city layout
with a loving attention to detail. 15 reconstructions and 20 new buildings,
incorporating typical style elements of Frankfurt's old town,
together create a residential area that is typical of an old city centre
with a successful mixture of old and new. Around 200 people will make
this their new home. As in the past, the quarter will also house little shops,
restaurants, premises for local craftsmen and picturesque squares.
The new DomRömer Quarter will be a lively residential area
and a meeting place for both residents of the city and visitors.
