Portrait of a man who fled Nazi-Germany in 1934 to start a new life in Istanbul, where he became a legendary teacher: Traugott Fuchs, who suffered from severe depression all of his life, left behind a unique and excessive legacy. Hundreds of paintings, thousands of drawings, poetry, diaries and an extensive collection of letters – among them several from world-class poet and author Hermann Hesse – were found in his apartment after he was hospitalized before his death. Almost ending up in the trash, they were saved by close friends and finally shed light on a fascinating man who also tried to embrace his gay identity.
The crew will attend.
Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
