The artist Ulla von Brandenburg (*1974) is considered one of the most versatil installation artists of her generation. In her works, she addresses themes such as the relationship between the individual and the group, individuality and rules, social coexistence and interaction, or the relevance of objects and materialism. Beginning December 11, the Weserburg Museum für moderne Kunst in Bremen will present works by the artist under the title Ulla von Brandenburg. Eine Landschaft ohne Blau, wie ungefähr. Specifically conceptualized for the rooms of the Weserburg, von Brandenburg transforms them into intensely colorful dream worlds and sensual spaces of experience in the exhibition, which runs through April 10, 2022. Inspired by folklore, song, dance, theater, circus, architecture, and much more, the artist uses large-format fabrics and expansive installations, among other things, to create a large-scale parcours. This parcours, with its various monochrome color areas of different sizes, is the setting for five of her current films, multifaceted watercolors and objects, a performance at the opening, and laid-out source material.
