This encounter leads to new, often surprising perspectives.\n\nIn the ninth installment of our series \"facing each other\" a photograph from the series \"PROPO\" (1994) by Paul McCarthy from the ahlers collection and the painting \"Toy Still Life (New York)\" (1969) by Christa Dichgans from our collection meet. Dichgans' painting depicts a chaotic accumulation of used toys, McCarthy's photograph a doll with black skin and severed legs that invokes racializing attributions. While McCarthy deals with power, oppression, violence, and racism, Dichgans' work focuses on accumulation, abundance, and the theme of mass: mass society, mass consumption, and also mass taste. Both works can be understood as a mirror of society and raise questions: What do children play with? What values are conveyed with the toy? What impact does this have - and what does it say about our society?"},{"acf_fc_layout":"bild_single","bild":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_sans_klein_zweispaltig","text":"<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The exhibition is produced in cooperation with the Ahlers Pro Arte Foundation.<\/p>\n<img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1938 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/kunsthalle-bielefeld.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/LOGO-Stiftung-Pro-Arte-gGmbH_web_nosidebar-150x65.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"65\">","text2":"<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The exhibition series is produced in cooperation with the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 1288 \"Practices of Comparison.
