talia chetrit: mama. from the virgin mary to merkel

The focus is on the societal expectations that have always influenced motherhood and are reflected in art, culture and everyday life. The approximately 120 works on display from the fourteenth century to the present day create a panorama that involves everyone, including fathers and those without children of their own.
In addition to painting, sculpture, video installations and photography, the broad spectrum of the show also encompasses everyday objects as well as music and commercial images. Connections between the works reveal continuities, but also the versatility of depictions of mothers, which are continuously being appropriated, reinterpreted, disputed and celebrated.
