The exhibition primarily addresses hierarchy in the workplace and explores the question of who is dependent on whom. This role is constantly being exchanged or, as in the screen-print series \"Fresh Meat,\" taken to extremes. The images also aim to shake things up and provoke. Everyone is invited to question themselves and others in their respective situations and positions. The nudity of the figures in the images \"Bar\" and \"The Gardener's Treasure Has Fallen Down\" is intended to highlight their inferiority and vulnerability as employees.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The picture \"Gardener's Treasure Has Fallen\" depicts a snapshot of a gardening accident: The attractive gardener has fallen from his ladder while working, and the lady of the house looks out the window and comments on the situation. The scene intentionally conveys a certain condescension towards the staff, as this is not uncommon in real life. In the pictures \"At Your Service,\" the servants are lined up in a row. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

In this exhibition, Sala Lieber, a master student from Hungary who studied in D\u00fcsseldorf, takes us back to the 17th century and reveals to us the splendor and magnificence of the Baroque and Rococo periods in all their facets. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

She portrays the servants as an anonymous and impersonal mass whom we do not recognize as individuals with desires and concerns. Thus, the servant is an interchangeable being.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In the painting \u201cTriptych,\u201d the row of servants is quite brazenly depicted on a significantly larger canvas than the master of the house. Or in the painting \u201cThe Gardener Has Fallen Down,\u201d the perhaps cynical view from the window is captured on the naked gardener. It is a game of power and hierarchies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But certainly, without the work of servants, much property would be uncontrollable. This also raises the question: who cannot live without the others, who is indispensable?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

With the exhibition \u201cAt Your Service,\u201d the artist this time focuses not only on the magnificent architecture of castles and residences and portraits of noble personalities and families, but also on the lower rungs of the courtly hierarchy: the servants, who, as a symbol of aristocratic status, shaped and defined the image of the Baroque era. Thus, depictions of butlers in elegant men's suits and maids in black dresses trimmed with white ruffles have always been a feature of painting. <\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Die Ausstellung befasst sich \u00fcberwiegend mit der Hierarchie in der Arbeitswelt und stellt sich die Frage, wer von wem abh\u00e4ngig ist. Diese Rolle wird immer wieder getauscht oder wie in der Siebdruck-Serie \u201eFrischfleisch” auf die Spitze getrieben. Dabei wollen die Bilder auch aufr\u00fctteln und provozieren. Jeder darf sich selbst und den anderen in seiner jeweiligen Situation und in seinem Rang hinterfragen. Die Nacktheit der Figuren in den Bildern \u201eBar” und “Schatz der G\u00e4rtner ist runtergefallen” will Ihre Unterlegenheit und ihr Ausgeliefertsein als Angestellte zeigen. Das Bild \u201eSchatz der G\u00e4rtner ist runtergefallen” zeigt eine Momentaufnahme bei einem Arbeitsunfall im Garten: Der attraktive G\u00e4rtner ist bei der Arbeit von seiner Leiter gefallen, die Hausherrin schaut aus dem Fenster und kommentiert die Situation. Die Szenezeigt gewollt eine gewisse Herablassung gegen\u00fcber der Personal, da es nicht selten im wahren Leben auch so ist. In den Bildern “Zu Ihren Diensten” sind die Bediensteten in einer Reihe aufgestellt. Die aus Ungarn stammende D\u00fcsseldorfer Meistersch\u00fclerin Sala Lieber entf\u00fchrt uns in dieser Ausstellung wieder ins 17. Jahrhundert und offenbart uns den Glanz und Prunk des Barock und des Rokoko in all seinen Facetten.
