Les Fleurs du Mal „Wo alles Ungeheure so wie eine Blume sprießt“

On the occasion of the 200th birthday of Charles Baudelaire, the group exhibition revolves around his collection of poems "Les Fleurs du Mal" which has inspired artists from its creation to the present day. Baudelaire's search for beauty in the evil and ugliness of painting sets in motion the imagination of the terrible as the beauty of art and as autonomous poetry. The exhibition focuses on the destabilized subject, shaken to its foundations, in its alienation from existence. In an exaggerated artificiality, the weakness of the ego as well as the abysmal and ambiguous are brought into focus as an aesthetic value.
