NEVIN ALADAĞ – INTERLOCKING
Exhibition from March 10 until June 30, 2024
Nevin Aladağ (*1972 in Van, Turkey, lives and works in Berlin) is one of the most internationally renowned contemporary artists. The survey exhibition Interlocking with textile collages, sound sculptures, installations and videos draws connections between different patterns of artistic creation and their socio-cultural backgrounds. The creative forging of such connections is an important aspect of Nevin Aladağ's extensive oeuvre. In the Social Fabric series, for example, various textiles are woven into a "utopian carpet" that visually brings together the origins of the material from different cultures. The Carpet Ball Game installation is an interactive invitation to play indoor basketball in the centre of the exhibition hall. In addition, a new group of works and site-specific installations with the Best Friends flags can be seen outside the museum.

NANDO NKRUMAH – HEUTE SCHON MORGEN (TODAY IS ALREADY TOMORROW)
Exhibition from June 21 until November 3, 2024
The exhibition Today is already tomorrow in the Leonora Carrington Hall of the Max Ernst Museum Brühl of the LVR presents works of the German-Ghanaian artist Nando Nkrumah. With the New Perspectives format, contemporary artists explore new perspectives on Surrealism in the context of the collection.
Nando Nkrumah (*1979 in Kumasi, Ghana, lives and works in Cologne) invites visitors to wander between pasts, presents and futures and counters the current, dystopian forecasts of the future of the world with positive utopias. He combines personal memories, dreams and hopes as well as visions of the future of Afrofuturism with surrealistic elements. The artist directs our gaze to the fact that tomorrow already begins in our powers of imagination and emphasises the speculative spaces for possibility arising from this.
