Critical Correspondence
Curating Valeska Gert: Ana Isabel Keilson in conversation with Wolfgang Muller and An Paenhuysen
“In 2010 I began my PhD in the History department at Columbia University, focusing on intellectual history and performance during Weimar Germany. While researching in Berlin, I met An Paenhuysen, a former visiting scholar at Columbia, who had just curated ‘Pause. Valeska Gert: Bewegte Fragmente’ at the Hamburger Banhof with Wolfgang Muller. In addition to co-curating the exhibition, Muller published Valeska Gert: Asthetik der Prasenzen (2010), which includes a reprint of Gert’s memoir, Mein Weg (1931). I was eager to talk with them about this important yet relatively obscure artist.”
