Exhibition

Surrealism and Madness

26. November 2009 -14. February 2010

Vernissage: 25.November 2009, 7 pm

Max Ernst was so fascinated by Hans Prinzhorn’s “Artistry of the Mentally Ill” that he took the book, only published that year, with him to Paris, where it caused a sensation among his fellow artists, and became as it were the (Picture-) Bible of the Surrealists. Through pictures, drawings, graphic art and text, the exhibition clarifies the attraction the ‘aesthetics of insanity’ had for artists like Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí, Andre Masson and Hans Bellmer. On one hand, analogies between the practice of the Surrealists and the literary and visual production of institution inmates (dessin automatique, paranoiac-critical method etc.) are shown and discussed.

On the other hand, the exhibition of psychically ill artists at the Galerie Bine in Paris in 1929, which was taken up by the Surrealists with great interest, is partially reconstructed. An inventory of the exhibits sent from Heidelberg at that time has been kept at the Prinzhorn Collection. Thus it is possible to show which works the Surrealists had seen in the original as well as the works published in ‘Artistry of the Mentally Ill’. Additionally, we present some other items that were certainly in the 1929 exhibition, mostly from the Marie collection.

Finally, ‘Surrealism and Madness’ addresses the ‘real’ experience of insanity among the Surrealists with one example, and looks at the continuation of the subject after 1945, specifically the role of the Saint Anne Hospital, Paris. A cabinet of the exhibition is dedicated to the development of Unica Zürn, who from the early 1960s was in psychiatric care over and over again. She committed suicide in 1970.

David Maclagan 'Surrealism, Art Brut, Outsider Art: a disputed succession?'
Contrary to appearances, the lineage connecting these three perspectives on art and madness is not a continuous one: definitions of 'madness', motives for re-evaluating 'psychotic art' and the imagined links between creativity and mental disturbance, for example, are all driven by polemic and subject to fluctuation. I shall examine some of these shifts in the images of art and madness and show how they affect the status of art-works themselves, as well as of those who create them.

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.
