THE EVENT IS SOLD OUT!
At this KunstBewusst event, the freunde and the Museum Ludwig visit the Kölnischen Kunstverein (Hahnenstraße 6, 50667 Köln), where August Sander first exhibited excerpts of his life's work Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts in 1927.
What is it about?
How does one depict social outsiders as an integral part of a society from which they are actually excluded? More precisely: how did August Sander portray so-called "asoziale Elemente" – as the National Socialists called certain people – in his monumental sociological work Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts?
In this lecture marking Sander's birthday exactly 150 years ago, Noam M. Elcott introduces his "Ethik der Nähe".
