Not for Sleeping – Michael Buthe, Max Klinger and Jutta Koether – Florence – from 06 Nov. to December 13, 2009

The exhibition, to be held at the Roman villa in Florence, not to sleep showcases the works of three German artists – two performances filmed by Michael Buthe (1944-1994), drawings by Max Klinger (1857-1920), as well a painting and a live act by Jutta Koether (1958). The works deal in a very singular concept of love and desire. To Sleep is not an attempt to address the issue of beauty today.
Villa Romana thank Dr. Hans Werner Schmidt and Dr. Jeannette Stoschek, Museum der bildenden Künste, Leipzig, and the gallery Daniel Buchholz in Cologne for their generous support.
