Insights into asylum life around 1900
8th July
2010-31th October 2010
Vernissage: 7th July 2010, 7pm
„Dr. Printzhorn, so it looks in me“:
The Prinzhorn Collection presents for the first time on a large
scale selfreports from its historical fund which reflect the everyday
life in psychiatric institutions.
More than 120 exhibits, with it paintings, drawings, collages,
textile works and letters, offer a touching insight into the life
of the internees and at the same time a wide cross section of
the collection. There are shown works by about 60 men and women
from about 30 different institutions in the period from 1897 to
1924.
cabinet exhibition:
Pictures
of a Forced Sterilisatio
Wilhelm
Werner (1898-1940)
extended
until 31th October 2010
At the end of 2008 the Prinzhorn Collection was
able to acquire with the help of the Brass foundation a unique
picture series. The artist Wilhelm Werner (1898-1940) lived since
1919 in the Werneck asylum. He drew the images etween 1934 and
1938, after his forced sterilisation. He transformed the experience
of the degrading intervention into a series of impressively imaginative
and original pictures. Two years later Werner became a victim
of theNazi „euthanasia“ programme.
Additionally we show works by patient artists from the collection
who were also murdered because „unworthy of life“
(„lebensunwert“) between 1940 and 1945.

Exhibition with works of the Prinzhorn
Collection:
Exhibitions 2007:
The Air Loom and other dangerous influencing
machines
-
Prinzhorn Collection, 26.10.2006
- 15.4.2007
What are these machines that people feel delivered to? And why
should we be interested in them today? This is the first time
that these fictitious "influencing machines" hold centre stage
at an exhibition. An exhibit that virtually bursts the boundaries
of the gallery is the seven-meter high "Air Loom" made by the
British artist Rod Dickinson (2002). He constructed the machine
after drawings made by an inmate of the Bethlam asylum in London,
James Tilly Matthews (c. 1770–1815), who believed himself tormented
by this fictitious monster. The artistic allusion to our time
is made not only by Rod Dickinson but also by Zoe Beloff (New
York) with her interactive installation, "The influencing machine
of Natalija A." (2001). Delusional machines are constructed from
feelings of helplessness. In former times, the devil was made
responsible. After the Enlightenment, distress and fear were produced
by the newly developed, mysterious technologies - the telegraph,
X-ray and radio equipment - especially around 1900. Jakob Mohr,
Hugo Rennert, L. Heintzen and Friedrich Fent - artists of the
Prinzhorn Collection - felt they were being bombarded by light
waves emitted by X-ray machines.

Outsider Art Market
-
Prinzhorn Collection, 27.4.
- 29.4.2007, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
It
is still not easy for art by people with psychiatric experience
and other outsiders of society which differs in form and content
from established contemporary art. There are only a few exhibition
spaces and galleries specialised in this kind of work or integrate
it into their programs. For this reason the Prinzhorn Collection
is organising for the first time a selling exhibition of works
by selected artists from the field of outsider art. Here you can
make discoveries and perhaps even start collecting.
30.4. - 23.5.2007: closed
Wölfli, Grieshaber, Lohse-Wächtler,
Bender - The Collection Grows
- Prinzhorn Collection, 24.5. - 9.9.2007
The name Prinzhorn usually stands for the eminent fund of asylum art
which the scholar brought together at the beginning of the 1920s.
But again and again the collection increased, especially since the
1990s, when it had become famous through travelling exhibitions in
Germany and abroad, and after the opening of the museum in 2001. There
is however little money for purchases. The most important new entrants
are generous gifts and permanent loans. These include treasures like
two large black and white drawings by Adolf Wölfli, the legendary
"State Album" (1872-76) of Emma Mohr and works by Elfriede
Lohse-Wächtler. Piled up alongside the justly excessive "World
Rescue Project" of Vanda Vieira-Schmidt consisting of more than
500 000 drawings, are the obsessive accumulations of Friedrich Boss
and Harald Bender. There are many still unknown works to be discovered.
