Exhibition at the Amerikahaus in Munich: Jeff Dunas – Photography: American Pictures & State of the Blues

Through Friday, July 31, 2026, at the Amerikahaus in Munich (ENGLISH, DEUTSCH, ITALIANO, FRANÇAIS)

Munich – Amerikahaus. Jeff Dunas – Photography: American Pictures & State of the Blues – American photographer Jeff Dunas is exhibiting in Munich. His photo exhibition presents a multifaceted portrait of the United States through two bodies of work: Dunas captures people across the States in everyday situations. Spanning several decades, the exhibited photographs come from the *American Pictures* series and were taken where people live—amidst the daily life of cities and rural areas. The subjects tell stories of hopes, ruptures, and new beginnings. The exhibition also focuses on the blues: the *State of the Blues* series chronicles a musical tradition through black-and-white portraits of key figures. The blues is more than just music; it represents cultural innovation and resilience.

Josephine Baker has inspired the art scene since the 1920s

The exhibition in the Neue Nationalgalerie shows Josephine Baker sensual, dramatic and always full of humor. Her self-staging did not fail to have an artistic impact and was one of her strategies for success. Born in America, Baker also performed in Paris in the 1920s. In 1937 she took French citizenship.

Josephine Baker enchanted her audience as a superstar

The exhibition looks at the cinema as a medium that suddenly made a face internationally famous and expands on their artistic development right up to the revue star.

Josephine Baker was the first African-American woman to play a leading role in a film and impressed with her authenticity.

The exhibition “Josephine Baker. Icon in Motion” in the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin

The exhibition was created especially for Berlin by Klaus Biesenbach, director of the Neue Nationalgalerie, by Terri Francis, professor of film art at the University of Miami, and by Mona Horncastle, curator of the exhibition “Josephine Baker. Freedom – Equality – Humanity” in the Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn.

In Mies van der Rohe's museum building, this complex presentation of a star of film history becomes a fine art viewing experience.

ENGLISH VERSION: Exhibition and book recommendation: limited, large-format artist book for the exhibition by Nicolas Party will be published at the beginning of March 2024

The artist's book for the exhibition WHEN TOMORROW COMES by NICOLAS PARTY

 

Exhibition by Nicolas Party at the MUSEUM FRIEDER BURDA in Baden-Baden until February 18, 2024

Baden-Baden. The exhibition period for WHEN TOMORROW COMES by NICOLAS PARTY at the Frieder Burda Museum in Baden-Baden is coming to an end. After February 18, 2024, the murals will dissolve into pastels and disappear as originals. The art in the museum becomes “dust in the air”. What remains is the memory of those monumental colorful chalk drawings and the knowledge that you were there. A precious moment before the work of art disappeared. But the works will not be completely forgotten, as they have been recorded in an elaborate limited-edition artist's book for the exhibition. The book is filled with high-quality photographs. It contains fold-out pages and was printed in a special format. The artist Nicolas Party determined the graphic design together with the museum and the publisher. What happens when art goes: An artist's book with an expected publication date of early March 2024.

The exhibition WHEN TOMORROW COMES by NICOLAS PARTY is only available for two weeks

What can painting achieve today? Paint walls and make them shine. This is what Nicolas Party does with just nine murals in pastel. It took the artist a full four weeks to paint the light-flooded architecture of the Richard Meier Building in Baden-Baden. From November to February 18th we were able to see them or better experience them because the giant formats are etched in our memory. And then it says “It’s over!” The originals will never be seen in this form again!⁠ They will disappear from the museum wall and complete our Inner Gallery - the one that everyone only carries in their own memory.

 

So: plan your visit to the Frieder Burda Museum by February 18, 2024!

The exhibition is open Tuesday to Sunday, always from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
