"My Song" – under this title, art students are exhibiting their music-related works in the Lecture Theatre Centre until 9 January. The artistic diversity reflects a musical spectrum ranging from Bach to flamenco to Madonna.
As well as drawings, paintings and photographs, the “My Song” exhibition also features objects and a film, and is open to the public on weekdays up to and including 20 December and from 6 to 9 January. The Lecture Theatre Centre (Building A14, Uhlhornsweg 86) is open daily from 10.00 to 20.00. The works by the Oldenburg art students were created during the past summer semester under the guidance of lecturer Natascha Kaßner from the Institute of Art and Visual Culture.
Prince’s song “Kiss”, for example, inspired Rieka Bente to create photo-paintings and small sewn-on kissing mouths. Jacqueline Menke explored flamenco, photographing a dancer, creating a metal object and producing abstract drawings.
Lorraine Todzy, meanwhile, created small figures inspired by songs by Lena Meyer-Landrut that question the female ideal of beauty. Hilko Meischen, interpreting Madonna’s “Nobody Knows Me”, photographed himself dressed in electronic waste and digitally altered the resulting images. A stone sculpture by Wiebke Ammen, on the other hand, embodies Johann Sebastian Bach’s cello piece ‘Suite No. 1’.
The exhibition also features works by Lara Harnack, Luna Hilbers, Klaus Lück, Kalle Loger, Nils Reese, Lisa Sgange, Finn Ammerich, Sina Groothus and Markus Kratz. Admission is free.
