Vortrag: Antje Krause-Wahl: Berühren – Pawel Tchelitchews queerer Modernismus

In the organizer's words:

The Queer Modernism exhibition features several paintings by the artist Pavel Tchelitchev, who emigrated from Russia via Europe to the USA, in which bodies become obscure. In Untitled (Seated Man, Multiple Images), 1927, the figure of a man disintegrates into two parts from which a third emerges. In Personage (Figure), 1927, a figure is superimposed by a thread construction and covered by applied material.
The lecture directs attention away from the motif to the aesthetics of Tchelitchew's works. With a focus on the 1930s, Antje Krause-Wahl explains how materials, painted surfaces and specific constructions of perspective queer heteronomous (body) ideas. In addition, she understands his work, which also includes book illustrations, stage sets and costume designs, as part of the passionate social interactions in the networks of queer modernism.
