Seeing Words, Reading Images

The exhibition at the PalaisPopulaire shows selected works from the Written Art Collection, supplemented by works from the Deutsche Bank Collection. The focus is on the contemporary perspective, a kind of Worldwide Written Art, which places the global dialog of today's artistic positions at the center: a historical network that shows the roots and connections of writing in art, and a contemporary network that makes global perspectives and new cultural references visible. The works from the Deutsche Bank Collection broaden the contemporary view - opening up new dialogs and deepening cultural connections.
