The title of the exhibition Ik & Ich reminds us of Ole & Axel – those two friends whose souls were already imagined by the Enlightenment philosopher Jean Paul (1763-1825). They could not be more different and yet they follow the same path: irony is their leisure and the theme tune of their actions. With an unbiased view, they explore the everyday life of the bourgeoisie.

We recognise the whole Conditio Humana in what they address and present to us. Finding and transforming things is an artistic strategy that surrealism eventually perfected. The Meret Oppenheimer’s „Luncheon in Fur „(1936) has become her signature.
