In her current exhibition entitled “MuseumShop“, Cornelia Sollfrank explores
how to make money from images of artworks.
Who are the people behind the “MuseumShop“?
And what do they do? Pupils and teachers are invited tore-enact certain steps in the marketing of artistic works(including photographic reproduction, the negotiation ofcontracts, the formulation of exhibition signs, the stagingof an exhibition talk) and to slip into the corresponding roles at.
Different talents in terms of language, photography, communicationand self-presentation are required depending on the role (painter and sculptor,artist, museum photographer, camerawoman, lawyer). A
game manual, recording equipment and props are available.
The “Seitenwechsel” allows a look behind the scenes of the
art business.

This concept was developed together with Dr. Anja
Mohr (seminar leader, Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg), Julia
Glandien, Per Thomas, Nadine von Bismarck and Imke de Riese.

We held the workshops with different classes.
