Program

Georg Baselitz has challenged familiar ways of seeing by depicting figures and landscapes upside down, proposing new ways of looking at painting. In conjunction with the exhibition Georg Baselitz, Sehwa Museum of Art presents a new program, A Different Way of Seeing, inviting participants to experience this shift in perspective firsthand.

Just as each visitor approaches artworks differently according to their own interests and tastes, the program explores works and images through three distinct perspectives: the Researcher, the Wanderer, and the Enthusiast. By experiencing art in different ways, participants will have an opportunity to reflect on what brings them to the museum and to look at familiar artworks and art itself from a new perspective.

Program

1. The Researcher’s Eye

Through a docent-led tour of the exhibition Georg Baselitz, participants will encounter the artist’s works firsthand and explore his life and artistic practice in greater depth through lectures by art historians and specialists. The program also includes a screening of the documentary film Georg Baselitz (2013), offering a multifaceted understanding of Baselitz’s art and life.

2. The Wanderer’s Eye

Moving beyond individual artworks and artists, this section explores different ways of looking at images and the world around us. Participants will learn about the concept of the “image wanderer” and ways of looking at images in the aftermath of disaster. Through an image-gathering workshop with an artist, participants will photograph and select images themselves, becoming image wanderers in their own right.

3. The Enthusiast’s Eye

This section explores the diverse reasons why people collect and cherish artworks, as well as the tastes that shape their appreciation of art. Through discussions on contemporary art collectors and writers who have cultivated a deep appreciation for art, participants will consider the many forms of devotion to art. They will also select one work from the Sehwa Museum of Art collection and share their own personal reasons for appreciating it.
