Kippenberger Catwalk

October 20, 2013

“Kippenberger Catwalk”: pictures by Martin Kippenberger will be exhibited at the Kunsthalle HGN in Duderstadt (D), from October 26, 2013 to January 26, 2014
In 1976, in the studio of the Berlin fashion designer Claudia Skoda, Martin Kippenberger created a floor collage from 1,300 photographs.

The collage served as a catwalk for fashion shows with a performance character; it is a kaleidoscope of life and work in the apartment Skoda shared with various artists, where Kippenberger himself lived for some time. Shortly before the demolition of the Berlin-Kreuzberg building in 2003, the work was rediscovered, salvaged, and restored. It now belongs to the HGN collection. This conceptual project, involving a natural alliance between fashion, art, music, and punk, already allows a view into Kippenberger’s later pictorial cosmos of social interconnection.
