This exhibition, the first museum survey of the work of German artist Kai Althoff, will feature a selection of the artist’s extraordinarily delicate and evocative watercolors, finely wrought pencil drawings, highly inventive collages and paintings, in addition to the multi-media installations. Tapping a multitude of sources, from Germanic folk traditions to recent popular culture, from medieval and gothic religious imagery to early modern expressionism, Althoff’s characters inhabit imaginary worlds that serve as allegories for human experience and emotion. Kai Althoff was born in 1966 in Cologne, Germany, where he currently lives and works. This exhibition is organized by The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. The MCA’s presentation will be coordinated by Manilow Senior Curator Francesco Bonami.
Kai Althoff: Kai Kein Respekt (Kai No Respect) is organized by The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. Major funding has been provided by David Teiger and Institute für Auslandsbeziehungen e.V.. Pressetext
