Contemporary art has a hard time. “Awesome”, “absurd”, “incomprehensible”, many people think so and leave the discourse to the intellectual upper class. Yet anyone could understand art – if only one more language would establish itself: That of emotions. At least that’s the opinion of Bernhard Schwenk and Nicola Graef, the curators of the exhibition “Feelings” in Munich’s Pinakothek der Moderne. For Arte Metropolis, Frauke Schlieckau traces the role that emotions play in art and meets the artists Ruprecht von Kaufmann and Alexandra Ranner in their studios.
