Grand Tour - Giebler & Götze

Más información sobre el libro

The fictional town of Kaisersaschern, located below Halle an der Saale, serves as the imaginary center for Bazon Brocks's concept of an "educational trail of historical imagination." This trail aligns with the grand tour envisioned by artists Rüdiger Giebler and Moritz Götze, who have shared a thirty-year friendship marked by joint exhibitions, collaborative projects, and extensive travels. Central Germany, with its complex and often tumultuous history, offers rich inspiration, showcasing a tapestry of diverse biographies that have intersected between the Harz mountains and the river Oder. This region is characterized by mighty parks, industrial landscapes, battlefields, and nature reserves, where romanticism and rationalism coexist. Paul Kaiser provides insight into the art-historical context of Giebler and Götze, tracing their journey from their beginnings in East Germany to the present. Their work has been exhibited in numerous locations, including Ahrenshoop, Athens, Bangalore, Berlin, Bonn, Brussels, Düsseldorf, Erfurt, Frankfurt, Halle (Saale), Karlsruhe, Kazakhstan, London, Lübeck, Magdeburg, Melbourne, Munich, Napier (New Zealand), Naumburg, New York, Oldenburg, Potsdam, Quedlinburg, Saarbrücken, Schwäbisch Hall, Schweinfurt, Seattle, Sellin, Los Silos (Tenerife), Teterow, Venice (California), and Witten.
