Gabinetto Segreto - Nils Amadeus Lange

5 Jun 2022 — 25 Jun 2022

For the first solo exhibition in his hometown of Cologne, Nils Amadeus Lange opens the doors to his own Gabinetto Segreto, referring to the Secret Cabinet of the Archaeological Museum of Naples with pornographic/sexual art from antiquity. It shows muses of arousal transcending time.

On display are strippers on poisonous yew wood, a faun (this time without a goat), sticky floors with confetti, sexy reliefs, cheap neon A4 prints and much more. On 25.06 at 18h there will be a performance by the artist as part of the exhibition.

works as an artist, performer and lecturer in Zurich. After studying theatre
at the Bern University of the Arts he expanded his practice to various
