Tim Berresheim Ort. Zeit. Kontinuum
In the organizer's words:
Tim Berresheim, born in Aachen in 1975, is a pioneer of computer-aided art. His work combines an interplay of art history, technology, science and nature. Berresheim studied under Albert Oehlen at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and at the HBK Braunschweig under Johannes Brus.
Since the end of 2023, the Heinsberg-born artist has been involved in a large-scale digital art and participation project "Aus alter Wurzel neue Kraft" on behalf of the city of Aachen, in which Aachen pupils of different ages and school types have been significantly involved. This participatory project in the best sense of the word is based on a process of appropriation by the participants under the guidance of the artist, which consists of numerous workshops in schools and at selected locations in the city and thus makes a concrete contribution to cultural education.
Right from the initial phase of this project, the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum sought a dialog with the artist in order to integrate the museum into the process and to open up the collection to the participants as a further component of the museum's work, which is currently strongly oriented towards cultural participation. After a comprehensive introduction by the museum's own curators, the participants of the vhs College engaged with exhibits from the permanent collection in workshops full of curiosity and then - in a way that is indicative of the diversity of the group - chose a large-format mythological sculpture 'Apollo and Daphne' by the Italian sculptor Filippo Parodi (1630-1702) as the starting point for their creative experiments and thought processes.
The project will occupy an entire cabinet room on the first floor and, in addition to concrete realizations, will also open up the dimension of augmented reality to visitors to the museum via an app designed by the artist. Berresheim will also be showing a new site-specific 360-degree wall piece created especially for the museum.
This is the second exhibition at the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum in which contemporary artists enter into direct dialog with the collection. As with the 2024 show by Düsseldorf painter Volker Hermes, who responded to portraits in the collection with his works, the museum also wants to link the familiar with the unknown with Tim Berresheim's works and thus enable visitors to have substantially new visual and art experiences that exceed their respective horizons of expectation and knowledge and remind them of the museum as a constantly up-to-date place of experience and learning.
