Margret: Chronik einer Affäre, Mai 1969 bis Dezember 1970
Abstract
The chronicle of an affair in pictures and texts, the secret diary of a Cologne business owner, from 1970, is exhibited for the first time here after more than forty years. This is a voyeuristic text/image collage which, in spite of dinner chits and hotel bills, of postcards and hair samples, is not presented in a historical museum or archive, but in an art institution. Yet what is this text-picture rapport? Is it outsider art, amateur art, or, as story art used to be in those days, just another way of hanging out around the genre corners of art? No doubt, the story about Margret is a report moving along the edges of art and only many years after the fact can be taken as art.
