There is a Criminal Touch to Art<\/span> <\/span><\/h1>\n

May 7\u201331, 2015<\/h2>\n

As part of the OFF-Bienn\u00e1le Budapest in Budapest, which was initiated by group of individuals both as a reflection to the current social political climate in Hungary, as well as a critique, the solo exhibition of Frank Uwe Laysiepen \u2013 Ulay is conceptualised around his action \u2018There is a Criminal Touch to Art\u2019<\/em> in Berlin back in 1976. <\/span>Besides the fact that the following action is one of the crucial points of Ulay\u00b4s artistic engagement, it very directly comments and requestions social and political climate of Germany in the 70\u00b4s. The core of the action performed by Ulay in 1976 is an ‘art theft’ of Carl Spitzweg\u2019s painting ‘The Poor Poet’<\/em> from the Neue Nationalgalerie. The theft of the \u201csymbol of the German soul\u201d and its installation in a Turkish family\u2019s living room in Kreuzberg (a district in Berlin) is not just a symbolical demonstration of an artis who was against Germany\u00b4s identity icons, but gives a very direct comment on the artist\u00b4s concern over the difficult situation of immigrants and their families in Germany in the 70s. The exhibition conceived for OFF-Bienn\u00e1le Budapest will be the first in depth presentation of the following action, trying to show it\u00b4s different layers, but on the other hand exhibition also strives to show the ethical engagement of Ulay’s artistic practice in general.<\/span><\/p>\n
