Lenke Rothman: Quality of Life

From the 1950s until her death in 2008, Rothman developed a unique feminist œuvre, where aspects of the everyday are set against a biographical and historic backdrop. Characterised by the radical processing of a lived present after the Shoah, Rothman’s practice negotiates lines of temporality and transience through, amongst other things, the preservation ephemeral and forgotten materials in a body of work that moves from abstract painting in the 1950s into the vocabulary of post-conceptual feminist sculpture in the 1960s and 70s. By recurring gestures – sewing, mending and enveloping, carving texts into fabric or paper, and holding together torn or decaying fragments – Rothman gives form to impermanence and memory alike, emphasising clothing as a membrane between fragile bodies and the world that surrounds them. Here, Rothman’s gestural poetics understand repair as the materialisation of the perpetual guided by the question: ‘How can life be saved and preserved despite constant destruction?’

London Philharmonic Orchestra / Alexander Malofeev / Karina Canellakis

What a concert evening! It opens with Beethoven’s magnificent Prometheus Overture, dedicated to the titan who gave fire to mankind and thus sparked the dawn of civilisation. As the finale: Tchaikovsky’s overwhelming »Pathétique« Symphony, its mysterious aura made even more poignant by the composer’s sudden and unexplained death just days after the premiere. In between, the most brilliant of them all: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Rising star Alexander Malofeev brings every nuance of his dramatic D minor Piano Concerto to life – joined on stage by the London Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of the fantastic Karina Canellakis.

London Philharmonic Orchestra / Anne-Sophie Mutter / Karina Canellakis

»You can’t just call that talent – she’s simply a genius.« With these words, Herbert von Karajan once knighted Anne-Sophie Mutter and nearly 50 years later, time has proven him right: her name remains synonymous with world-class violin playing.

»If you want to get to know me, you have to experience me on stage,« says Mutter. Music and life? For her, inseparable. Her credo: classical music belongs in everyday life, at the heart of society. In that, she would have seen eye to eye with Piotr Tchaikovsky. For him, music was a sanctuary, a vital force. His brilliant Violin Concerto was born in dark times – and became his salvation: »In such a state of mind, composing no longer feels like work; it is pure bliss!«
