On September 30, 1922, Oskar Schlemmer’s “Triadic Ballet” was premiered at the Württembergisches Landestheater in Stuttgart. The fascination of this extraordinary Gesamtkunstwerk, which brings together visual art, dance and costume, remains unbroken to this day. Schlemmer’s preserved original figurines, which have been in the possession of the Staatsgalerie since the 1970s, are among the highlights of the collection. Why and in what way does the Triadic Ballet move our visitors even a hundred years after its creation? And what is Schlemmer’s relevance for contemporary art? The exhibition “Moved by Schlemmer” embeds the historical figurines in a presentation of expansive installations by three contemporary artists and brings an extraordinary moment of Stuttgart’s history onto the stage of the present.
The starting point of the exhibition is Schlemmer’s concept of the “Triadic Ballet” as a dance of the trinity, which increases in three moods from the cheerful and burlesque to the festive and mystical and fantastic. Ulla von Brandenburg, Kalin Lindena and Haegue Yang each react to one mood and confront Schlemmer’s reflections with their own artistic questions. A look at the history of reception also shows how strong the influence of the “Triadic Ballet” - from music to fashion - has remained to this day, but also what critical questions Schlemmer’s work provokes in today’s world one hundred years after its creation.
