Description

Mouth, lips, tongue, and teeth, speech, pain, and screaming, eating, devouring, spitting, and spewing, lust and stimu­la­ting: The oral cavity is an extremely attrac­tive bodily zone. Not only have science and medicine always been involved in the explo­ra­tion of the oral cavity, but also art and cultural history, from antiquity to the present. For the first time in Germany, the Kunst­mu­seum Wolfsburg will trace the broadly diver­si­fied path of the history of the motif within the frame­works a compre­hen­sive exhibi­tion dedicated to the area around the mouth.

With texts by Andreas Beitin, Hartmut Böhme, Horst Bredekamp & Kolja Thurner, Roland Garve, Birte Hinrichsen, Olaf Knellessen, Harald Lemke, Karin Leonhard, Jürgen Müller, Uta Ruhkamp, Marcus Stiglegger and Ulrike Vedder.
