Conversation with Walter Dahn "Good morning in Cologne"

Podcast

The exhibition "To Whom It May Concern. Gifts of Paul Maenz" also features the cycle of "Ricki Pictures" by Walter Dahn and Jiří Georg Dokoupil. In the early 1980s, both painters belonged to "Mülheimer Freiheit", an artists' community in Cologne that shook up the scene with its neo-expressive paintings. 

In addition to his artistic work, Walter Dahn also developed a musical oeuvre. In conversation with Sven Beckstette, the curator of the exhibition, Dahn reflects on his relationship to music using audio samples from his band projects ‘Die Partei’, ‘Die Hornissen’, ‘Slinky Gym School’, ‘The Jewellers’ and ‘#9 Dream’.
