What role do different cultures and art histories play in works by artists in the Paul Ege Art Collection? What new levels of meaning do they open up? By looking at and discussing artworks together, we will approach the transcultural dimension of non-objective art and its interwoven histories: To what extent, for example, did Marcia Hafif's study of Asian art history influence her thinking about painting? In what way does Astha Butail combine Indian and Euro-American traditions? And what role did the study of Daoism and Chinese philosophy play for Donald Judd? With Dr. Birgit Hopfener, Professor of Art History, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, 08 - 12 2024 guest fellow at FRIAS, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, and Lea Altner, Co-Director PEAC Museum.
