360° Blutweiss

Description

From light white to gray white to ivory, chalk, or snow – the nuances of the supposed non-color white carry many names and also color our language. Colors are never innocent. They structure our perception, convey values, and participate in societal debates.

What does white mean in the Bourbaki Panorama – beyond snow and light? What does it reveal, what does it cover up? Which stories does it support, which might it conceal? And how does its effect change over time?

Visitors, together with our museum management, focus on the color of the canvas and the power of language. Let's look closely: at color tones, nuances, and gaps. Get involved and discover the special tint of “Blutweiss.”
