Vertauschte Köpfe is being published
in conjunction with the first joint
exhibition by the brothers Andreas
and Konrad Mühe at KUNSTWERK
Sammlung Klein. How can these
siblings—who could hardly be less

and harmonize their respective
artworks? What unites them is an

intensive preoccupation with their family’s history. And their differences are mutually
complementary: while the first is concerned with the way in which the family
history is interwoven with German history, the second addresses the relationship
between human and technological bodies, as well as their political subtexts in the
contemporary world.
Not unlike a family whose members tell divergent stories about one another, the
catalog picks up various temporal levels and narrative strands. Vertauschte Köpfe
thus encompasses multiple books that refer to and challenge one another. The
works of Andreas and Konrad Mühe engage in an interplay with texts by Valeria
Waibel, Karsten Ehlers, Monika Maron, Kito Nedo, and a comic strip by Gregor
Hinz. How solid is the substrate of their shared foundation?
