CHRIS FREMANTLE

‘5 Friends: John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Tombly’ at Brandhorst. Exploring various ideas that run through the different artists’ works – silence and nothingness – Rauschenberg ‘a White paintings, Johns’ White Numbers, Tombly’s, Cage’s 4’33”. Cage and Twombly’s Mushrooms. Duchamp an obvious presence.

Brilliant to see Cage’s collection of stones.

Pinakotek der Moderne had two really interesting exhibitions:

Trees, Time, Architecture: Design in Constant Transformation which explored experimental uses of trees in architecture and urban spaces. Really useful juxtaposition with all the artists’ projects. https://www.pinakothek-der-moderne.de/en/exhibitions/trees-time-architecture/

Yoshihiro Sunday: Garden Eden – beautiful selection from the collection juxtaposed with hand made weeds. https://www.pinakothek-der-moderne.de/en/exhibitions/garten-eden-naturutopien-japans/
