Madison on the Move was definitely moving the past two days. First to Heidelberg, where history and modernity coexist in a beautiful way. This sculpture by Jürgen Goertz, called S-RINTING HORSE (2000), sits directly out front the bahnhof, train station, and well represents the contemporary feel of Heidelberg's newer city areas.
After Heidelberg, Madison hoped a train over to Cologne, or Köln as it's spelled in German. One of Germany's largest cities, Köln's art scene is expansive, with a number of large museums and galleries.
At Art Galerie 7, we saw "Mountains.". A show that juxtaposes the photographs of Georg Küttinger with the painted and carved wood pieces of Monica Hansebakken. Neither of these artists disguises the mediums in which they work. Küttinger's photographs clearly capture the undisturbed mountain landscape and show how the mountains between the changing seasons need no artistic enhancement. Hansebakken also makes to effort to disguise the woof that she paints on and rather leaves portions of wood grain visible. She further carves into those pure wood sections and therefore gives her mountains a diverse look.
