Milieu is back at Lehrerzimmer with the second edition of our series of talks on painting. In Detailbetrachtung we invite painters to talk about a topic of painting that interests them personally. There will be some theorizing on the side, but above all, a lot of space should be given to free conversation which is motivated by the passion for painting. Together we look at pictures from across art history and want to treat them critically but also subjectively.

For this time we have invited Osama Alrayyan, who chose the topic of repetition. It is about painterly strategies of repeatedly taking up certain content or subjects and about doubling and duplication within individual images or entire work cycles. We want to pursue the question of when repetitions are fruitful for an artistic discussion and when they seem rather redundant.

The art historian Toni Hildebrandt will be present as a discussion partner, who will also provide a short theoretical input. The discussion will be moderated by Hannes Zulauf (Milieu).
