The Freising Diocesan Museum is currently getting down to business: bodies stretched out with relish, bare breasts, uncovered male sex. With the exhibition “Damned Lust! Church. Body. Art”, which has now been extended until July 2nd, the house dares a lot. And that in times when there is a fire in every nook and corner of the Catholic Church because of sexual abuse.
To accompany the exhibition, the museum invites you to a series of talks that examine the relationship to physicality in different cultures. On Sunday, May 7, at 4 p.m., Martin Zimmerman will speak about male fantasies in ancient cultures. The professor of ancient history at the University of Munich is looking for the causes of the widespread sex orgies in ancient Greece and Rome.
On Thursday, May 11, at 7 p.m., the Dimu Talk with Kia Vahland is about bodies of longing from the Renaissance and their downfall. The art historian, author and SZ-Editor devotes himself to the body as an expression of a beautiful soul in the Renaissance and shows how desire and intellect, aesthetics and Christian ethics interpenetrated in the early 16th century.
