Goethe Pop Up Kansas City presents Bilingual Patterns, a collaborative exhibition from German artist Armin Mühsam and American artist Caleb Taylor. Conceived of as an expression of Wunderbar Together – the motto of the Year of German-American Friendship which blends words from German and English to create a unifying message – the two painters transform the architecture of Kansas City’s Goethe Pop Up into a continuous folded canvas. The resulting installation is an organic extension of Mühsam’s and Taylor’s studio practices, both of which employ geometry and collage as central factors in their painting processes and decision-making.
