The series of lectures is both a hit and a long-seller Image and message, which has been attracting up to 200 people once a month since 1990, on Tuesdays at 6 p.m., with an art historical and a theological presentation. The successful concept remained unchanged: one painting from the Pinakotheken in the center, initially in lecture hall C 123 Ludwig Maximilians University will be presented at Theresienstrasse 41, after which we will go to the museum to view the original. The staff of speakers includes art historians and theology professors from the LMU; But celebrities such as the former prior of Andechs Monastery, Anselm Bilgri, and the general director of the Bavarian State Painting Collection, Bernhard Maaz, have also taken part. Paul Gaugin’s painting “The Birth” is on display on May 28th from 1896 in focus, Matthias Krüger from the Institute for Art History and the theologian Jan Rohls will give lectures.
Also in the series The eternal in the nowa collaboration between Brandhorst Museum and the Church of St. Mark, art history and theology meet in front of a work of art, whereby the audience is also included in the dialogue. As a special feature, before the conversation – once a month, on Saturdays at 3:30 p.m. – there is a half-hour musical interpretation on the respective topic in the St. Mark’s Church on Gabelsbergerstrasse. On June 1st, under the title “Cy Twombly: Roses for all?” the “Rose Hall” in the Brandhorst Museum is illuminated with its six large-format paintings. Art educator Jochen Meister from the Brandhorst Museum and the theologian Bettina-Maria Minth explain how art and Christian religion are combined in the rose symbolism.
The series offers a different, but no less exciting, combination of, in this case, moving images and lecture Film and psychoanalysisa collaboration of the film museum Munich and the Academy of Psychoanalysis. The series is currently dealing with the topic of “coincidence”, and it will be interesting to see what insights the team of experts with Salek Kutschinski, Mathias Lohmer and Corinna Wernzwieder have in store for the audience. On June 9th at 6 p.m. the film “My Man Godfrey” takes us back to the depression in the USA in the 1930s; In the crazy social comedy, rich people play a cynical game of chance in which Carole Lombard, as an over-the-top New York It girl, actually casts her future husband Godfrey as a bet from the garbage dump. As a viewer today, you watch what’s happening on the screen, breathless and almost speechless. The fact that Hollywood star Carole Lombard, wife of Clark Gable, died in a plane crash at the age of 33 after her last role in Ernst Lubitsch’s film “To Be or Not to Be” seems like another terrible coincidence.
The young film scene in Munich is also thinking about how their protagonists are in the Lecture series Glitch & Noise prove; It was launched by the organizers of the short film festival “Flimmern & Rauschen” for the purpose of exchanging experiences. On May 17th at 6:30 p.m Pixel at Rosenheimer Straße 5 Short lectures on elementary film topics are again on the program. For example, Lukas März talks about the question “How do I evaluate my short film?”, Luna Spangenberger talks about “Content ID and audio licensing law” and Karolina Weiß focuses on “Dialect in short films”.
