MOD ART – an art exhibition on subculture.

In songs such as “Painter Man” (The Creation 1967) or “David Hockney’s Diaries” (TV Personalities 1982), a certain affinity between mod culture and the visual arts is palpable. In the song “Art School” (The Jam 1977), the young Paul Weller even declares being a modernist to be an art form in itself. In a group exhibition with works by:

TOBI DAHMEN | CARSTEN KNAPPE | PAUL MÜLLER-RODE | MICHAEL PELZER | THOMAS BERGHAUS

we explore the interfaces between a subculture and the visual arts. In doing so, we celebrate over 60 years of mod culture in Germany.

Reading: Tobi Dahmen “Bicycle Mod”

Mods, skinheads, scooter boys – the British subculture also reaches the small town of Wesel, where Tobi grows up in the eighties and nineties. He becomes a mod, adopts their trendy style, listens to ska music and seeks recognition. The movement will never let him go, but the transitions to other subcultures are fluid – and dangerous.

Tobi Dahmen’s autobiographical coming-of-age graphic novel is a haunting tale about the love of music, youth culture and the danger of going down the wrong path.
