Freiburg (dpa / lsw) – The PEAC Museum in Freiburg is going on a “search for clues” from Sunday. The so-called exhibition of around 70 works is dedicated to the subject of the trace until February 20. These could be obvious traces like those of the brush. Or artists go in search of the hidden, forgotten or repressed, the museum announced. The installation and sound artist Anna Schütten developed an audio work as a sound backdrop especially for the show.
“It’s not just people who constantly and recurrently leave traces, apparently in everyday life or in a figurative sense in the course of their lives,” writes the museum. Whether it’s a fingerprint, an aftermath after death, animal tracks or tire abrasions – the traces could be both physical and tangible as well as immaterial in nature. “In doing so, they are sometimes placed consciously, sometimes unconsciously.”
The collection (Paul Ege Art Collection) of contemporary art, named after the Freiburg entrepreneur and collector Paul Ege, is housed in the PEAC Museum. The core is so-called radical painting, a painting movement that began in the early 1980s.
