On Monday, November 11 from 7pm, the opening of the exhibition "Rosemarie Trockel / Thea Djordjadze. limitation of life" will take place. Lenbachhaus Munich cordially invites you and your friends!

The Lenbachhaus presents a joint exhibition by Rosemarie Trockel (b. Schwerte, Germany, 1952) and Thea Djordjadze (b. Tbilisi, 1971). The two artists forged a close creative relationship between 1998 and 2001, when Djordjadze was Trockel’s student at the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts, and have realized joint projects before. Their oeuvres explore themes that are relevant to contemporary art and its production, scrutinizing, for example, the creative process and interrogating its premises, traditions, freedoms, and constraints. Meanwhile, they play with the conventions of art and the exhibition space.

In their exhibition "limitation of life", Trockel and Djordjadze weave these themes together: taking inspiration from the poet Arthur Rimbaud’s reflections, they study the idea of beauty and question established aesthetic strategies.
