ART HISTORIAN JEAN-CHRISTOPHE AMMANN ON LENA HADES ART,
Der Kunsthistoriker JEAN-CHRISTOPHE AMMANN ÜBER LENA HADES KUNST, LO STORICO DELL'ARTE JEAN-CHRISTOPHE AMMANN SU LENA HADES ART.
Jean-Christophe Ammann called the painting of the series tablets. "Figurative language of Lena Hades expresses itself often intentionally as a poster, because we see here some visual tablets which should stir and awaken. At the same time, the language of her images remains faithful to the fundamental task of the artist: every artist should be a dervish, not only in order to conjure the collective memory, being in constant motion, but also to stay in the thought and memory of our times. Lena Hades is a dervish."
Jean-Christophe Ammann (14 January 1939 – 13 September 2015) was a Swiss art historian and curator.
Early life and education
Born in Berlin, Ammann, son of a chemist, grew up in a German-speaking family in Fribourg. He actually wanted to become a doctor, but after his Matura in 1959 at the Collège Saint-Michel he studied history of art, Biblical archaeology and German literature. In 1966, he received his doctorate from the University of Fribourg on the work of Louis Moilliet.
Career
From 1966 to 1968, Ammann was an assistant to Harald Szeemann at the Kunsthalle Bern.[1] He then directed the Kunstmuseum Luzern until 1977. In 1971, he was Swiss commissioner for the Biennale Paris and in 1972 he worked with Harald Szeemann on the conception of documenta 5, which "went down in exhibition history as the most interesting and influential"[2] In 1978, he was co-organiser of Arte Natura in the international pavilion of the Venice Biennale.
Kunsthalle Basel
From 1978 to 1988, he took over the management of the Kunsthalle Basel. Among the conditions of his inauguration were better lighting conditions, partial removal of the wooden panelling on the walls, a continuous coat of unbroken white paint. He held six exhibitions a year with international as well as Swiss artists, including Gilbert & George, Martin Disler, Helmut Federle, Mario Merz and Rolf Winnewisser, whom he had already presented in Lucerne. With a penchant for painting, Ammann presented Enzo Cucchi, Nicola de Maria, Francesco Clemente, Walter Dahn, Rainer Fetting, Georg Baselitz in Basel. Miriam Cahn had the first institutional exhibition in 1983 with charcoal drawings. In 1987, he showed light installations by James Turrell "opening our earth to the cosmic". In 1988 he opened the Kunsthalle to Richard Serra, who covered each of the long side walls of the skylight hall with a strip of the densest graffiti hatching and achieved a fantastic change in the spatial effect. His 60 or so exhibitions in Basel followed a wide variety and were not restricted by formal or ideological boundaries. The works shown asserted themselves "... through "quality", for every art lover a fixed but never quite definable quantity. For Ammann, it is expressed, among other things, in the sum of the "energy" that a creative work must possess."[3] In addition, he ensured that a sculpture by Serra was installed in Basel's Wenkenpark. Since 1981 Ammann was a member of the Emanuel Hoffmann-Stiftung [de] in Basel.
Museum for modern art
In 1989, Ammann moved to Frankfurt and opened there as director on 6 June 1991[4] the new museum designed by the Viennese architect Hans Hollein[5] designed Museum für Moderne Kunst. The new museum gained international renown with a new form of exhibition, the "Szenenwechsel", which was held every six months and took place a total of twenty times with the help of private sponsors.[6] During the Szenenwechsel, the museum's holdings were rearranged every six months and enriched with new acquisitions, loans or special exhibitions. Ammann headed the house until the end of 2001,[7] his successor was Udo Kittelmann [de].
In 1999, Ammann was commissioned by Deutsche Börse to build up a collection of artistic photographs. He was also a member of the advisory board of the art collection of the Swiss banking house UBS. As curator, he was responsible, among other things, for the exhibition Crossart. Van Gogh to Beuys at the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany [de] in Bonn (2005) and In the Beginning was the Word... - On Language in Contemporary Art at the Haus der Kunst in Munich (2006; with Corinna Thierolf). Between 2010 and 2015, he curated (with Anna Wesle) several exhibitions at the Museum Franz Gertsch in Burgdorf/Switzerland and at the Galerie Perpétuel in Frankfurt.
