Louise Bourgeois Audio Guide

Audio tour for the Louise Bourgeois exhibition at Haus der Kunst in Munich

In an artistic career spanning seven decades, Louise Bourgeois created a unique body of work in a wide range of form, material and scale. Among the most innovative and challenging sculptural works in her extensive oeuvre are the "Cells", a series of architectural spaces that preoccupied her for nearly 20 years. Bourgeois's "Cells" are intensely psychological microcosms: situated within various enclosures, each is a multi-faceted collection of objects and sculptural forms arranged to evoke an atmosphere of emotional resonance.

The audio tour in the app includes background information on the artist's biography, analytical descriptions of the exhibits and quotations by Louise Bourgeois, which place the exhibits in context.

The exhibition

Louise Bourgeois. Structures of Existence: The Cells (27.2 - 2.8.2015)

In this exhibition, the first to concentrate on the "Cells" series, Haus der Kunst assembles the largest number of "Cells" presented to date. It also includes important works from previous decades that led to the development of this body of work. This comprehensive survey brings to light key facets of Bourgeois's thinking about space and memory, the body and architecture, and the conscious and the unconscious.
