FRIEDRICH KUNATH

In their first joint exhibition, artists Margarete Jakschik and Friedrich Kunath transform the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf into a space of contemplation, reflection and melancholy. Under the title Only Lovers Left, the exhibition presents photographs, paintings and installations by both artists, thus bringing their aesthetic positions into focus. The artists capture journeys both inward and out, reckoning with the legacy of German Romanticism while unravelling its conceptual ironies and clichéed motifs of longing. In other words, the Romantic is brought firmly into the present.
