Sunlight is filtered through our planet’s atmosphere\ , meaning that we see mainly blue light. This has shaped human perception as sky\, sea\, water\, distance\, vastness\, or depth.\n\nBecause of these natural phenomena\, blue is often associated with coldness or calm. Moreo ver\, in view of the seemingly endless skies or seas\, blue is also associ ated with the intangible\, the infinite\, and even the divine.\nThis atmos pheric blue\, which sometimes creates its own glow\, is now traced in the museum’s collection. Abstract works have been chosen deliberately for this Studiolo\, eliminating any direct attribution of motifs such as sky\, wat er or landscape.\nSometimes\, however\, those very associations do arise: For example\, in the work “OE 246a (Gracco)” by Rupprecht Geiger\, where t he form appears like an open window through which we can gaze at the sky. Geiger is often linked primarily to his fascination for red in all its var iations. His work “350/61”\, by contrast\, surprises us with a deep blue t hat glows from the darkness. In Hans Hartung’s “T1982-H44” we think we can see water splashing upwards on the canvas\, while in “T1965-H9” the visib le brushstrokes virtually flow across the painting. The blue forms in Frit z Winter’s series “Triebkräfte der Erde” (Earth’s Driving Forces) seem lik e crystals illuminating something hidden with their earthly glow.\nWhether calm or agitated\, in nature or paintings\, as light or colour\; blue is everywhere around us.\n\nCurated by Ines Rüttinger\n\nThe exhibition forma t 'Studiolo' is a dynamic space within the MGKiegen collection. Here\, in regularly changing exhibitions\, individual focal points and groups of wor ks from the collections are brought into focus.\n DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20231026T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20231026T190000 SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:MGKSiegen - Exhibition talk on Blue Glow with Prof. Dr. Busse\, Phy sics Department University of Siegen and Ines Rüttinger\, Curator TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
