Make Your Own Life: Artists In and Out of Cologne Attraction Details
Make Your Own Life: Artists In and Out of Cologne
http://www.icaphila.org/exhibitions/ownlife.php
In this seminal exhibition ICA presents a look at the mythic and art historical significance of Cologne, Germany, bringing together three generations of European and American artists.

Artists included in this exhibition are: Kai Althoff, Bernadette Corporation, Cosima von Bonin, Merlin Carpenter, Stephan Dillemuth, Michaela Eichwald, Andrea Fraser, Charline von Heyl, Gareth James, Mike Kelley, Martin Kippenberger, Jutta Koether, Michael Krebber, Louise Lawler, Lucy McKenzie, Nils Norman, Albert Oehlen, Christian Philipp Muller, Stephen Prina, Josephine Pryde, Blake Rayne, Reena Spaulings, Josef Strau, Rosemarie Trockel, Christopher Williams, and Christopher Wool, among others.

"Make Your Own Life" underscores the social and artistic relationships shared by these artists. While some of the artists in this exhibition are well-known — Martin Kippenberger, Mike Kelley, Rosemarie Trockel — many others have never before been exhibited in the United States. One of the main goals of this exhibition is thus to make connections between established and lesser-known artists, between older and younger artists and between artists working in different cities who nonetheless encountered each others' work when visiting Cologne. "Make Your Own Life" seeks to locate the attitude or ethos of Cologne, and to ask what it meant, how it was performed, and where it might be perceived today.
