Hamburger Bahnhof Museum
The collections at the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum were incredible; among the permanent collection I especially loved Cy Twombly's work, and after seeing Donald Judd's work for real instead of just as a photograph, I felt a bigger appreciation for his work. I also loved the Wolfgang Tillmans exhibition, and his work is quite an interesting research point for me in relation to my final project. He experiments with photography much like Brakhage would have experimented with film; he approached it in a tactile way, exploring the physical side of the medium to create a certain aesthetic to mediate a concept of the relation between the represented and the representative.
Day 3
We went to the New National Gallery, where the Biennial exhibition wasn't that impressive save for 2 or 3 film pieces (2 related ones experimented with lights moving behind a raindrop covered sheet of glass, the other was a Susan Hiller (?) piece which explored lost or endangered languages and dialects. The collection which was on show on the lower ground had a few impressive pieces; again, Donald Judd, as well as several pieces by Rebecca Horn, who's motorised sculptures of butterflies and brushes, etc, were quite intriguing.
