Art tour with Alex Koch - JUGENDSTIL Made in Munich (25 Nov 2024)

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 12:00:00 GMT

Around 1900, young visionary artists in Munich set out to revolutionize art and reform life. In a time of rapid scientific and technical innovations as well as social upheavals, they participated in the search for a fairer and more sustainable lifestyle. Artists such as Richard Riemerschmid, Hermann Obrist and Margarethe von Brauchitsch turned away from historical models in order to find a new art that would permeate life down to the smallest detail. Their ideas and designs form the basis for modern art and

design. With over 400 objects from painting, graphics, sculpture, photography, design and fashion, the exhibition sheds light on

Munich's role as the cradle of Art Nouveau in Germany and shows how relevant the questions of life that were already being discussed at that time still are today.

Cost: €13 for tour plus entrance ticket on that day

Online tickets: https://kunsthalle-muc.ticketfritz.de/en/Shop/Index/early-bird-tickets

Please pay €13 to Sabine Bowers, on the day- possibly less depending on number of attendees

To keep the cost of the guided tour to an

acceptable level per person, the event only

takes place if a minimum of 10 people have

registered - if more attend, the cost will go down

Book lovers and avid readers, are you interested in joining the Club’s Book Group, but aren’t available for weekday book group meetings? Welcome to a NEW Book Group that will meet on the 4th Wednesday of each month from 19:00 - 21:00!

Location : Members homes on a rotating basis

At our first meeting of the new group we determined that the focus for the books we read will be “cross-cultural” topics. That is a wide definition that encompasses national cultures, caste, gender, lifestyle or anything else the group accepts as exploring the cultural aspects of a particular group. We will decide each month’s book at the meeting in the preceding month.

For October we have read Caste by Isabel Wilkerson.

November Book: Bitter Fruit by Achmat Dangor - at Joan Stewart’s home Leopoldstrasse 156 in Schwabing. 19:00 - 21:00

No meeting in December

January Book: Pachinko by Min Jin Lee - location TBD

Location: Members homes on a rotating basis There will be a limit of 10 participants each month to allow for better discussion and so that more members will have a chance to host in their homes.
