Artist Talk with Marc Bauer

APT artist Marc Bauer in conversation with Axel Lapp, curator of the exhibition " Meeting Point" on June 02  in the Kunstverein Konstanz.

Marc Bauer draws stories. He reflects on cities and their related stories. In his large-format pencil drawings he makes history visible for a short time - until they are glossed over at the end of the exhibition with white wall paint. As a theme for> dawn <he has the sanatorium Bellevue elected in Kreuzlingen, a psychiatric medical and research institution, which in its time (1857-1980) was a refuge point for the sick and help-seekers from around the world. The clientele came from the nobility and the upper middle class, also artists, philosophers and scientists were among them (including Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Aby Warburg). The Bellevue has been not only a place of healing, but also a place of culture and creative confrontation.
