2x241 Titel doppelt so gut wie Martin Kippenberger

In the organizer's words:

The painter and sculptor Martin Kippenberger published the little-known book "241 Bildtitel zum Ausleihen für Künstler" in 1986. Based on this idea, the Frankfurter Hauptschule collective has created and found its own collection of titles for works of art that do not exist and arranged them into a text. High and pop cultural references merge, overlap, overwhelm and become dialogical confusion, sarcastic invocations of the Nazi era or pure slapstick. Their title drama gains topicality if we think of it as a way of dealing with text, as it currently occurs in memes, tweets and captions and thus on platforms such as Instagram, Bluesky and X.

With "2×241 Titel doppelt so gut wie Martin Kippenberger", the Frankfurt secondary school has stirred together a wickedly sparkling culture industry potpourri that was awarded the Heidelberg Stückemarkt's author prize in 2024.
