From February 12 to May 10, 2026, the SCHIRN is presenting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schirn.de\/en\/exhibition\/thomas-bayrle\/\">major solo show of the Frankfurt-based artist<\/a> featuring over fifty works from the last twenty years. Bayrle examines fundamental aspects of modern society in his work. How are religion and society, the individual and the mass, industrially manufactured products and the technical apparatuses of their production connected? Alongside the structures of consumption, work, urbanity, and technology, themes such as mobility, pop and mass culture as well as (substitute) religion all play key roles. The artist explores iconic representations as well as popular works of art history from Michelangelo to Caravaggio, Masaccio, and Claude Monet. On view in this exhibition are paintings and graphic works, sculpture and object art, sound installations and a video work.<br><br>In the 1960s and 1970s, Bayrle laid the innovative groundwork for his characteristic so called \u201csuperforms\u201d. Repetition, connection, and interweaving of single elements into an overall image can be found in almost all of Bayrle\u2019s works to this day and this is closely linked to the artist\u2019s biography. Bayrle initially completed an apprenticeship as a machine weaver before turning to commercial and print graphics. He has continued to use these printing techniques both materially and conceptually in his work, thereby paving the way from analog to digital. His works thus engage in a distinctive dialogue with the current exhibition venue of the SCHIRN, the industrial building of the former Dondorf printing factory.<br><br>The title of the exhibition recalls Bayrle\u2019s formative time as a professor at the St\u00e4delschule from 1975 to 2002 and his influence on a subsequent generation of artists. \u201cBe happy!\u201d was a guiding principle that he often liked to give his students. For Bayrle himself, \u201cBe happy!\u201d was a way of life, both an artistic and a political stance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-offset-2 col-xs-10'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.mak.at\/jart\/prj3\/mak-resp\/images\/cache\/e6c35ae77ffd19859f32c5b8941869c9\/0x4CB97DD5548B7D39C88C9DD83F607BAA.jpeg\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Thomas Bayrle in his installation iPhone meets Japan in the MAK Column Hall, 2017<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">\u00a9 MAK \/ Mona Hei\u00df, Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mak.at\/programm\/ausstellungen\/thomas_bayrle\">mak.at<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline toggle-optional-button' data-pattern='ho\/text-option-headline-button'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">Lorem ipsum<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>The exhibition brings together works by Thomas Bayrle primarily from the past twenty years.

The installation consists of the cuboid sculpture \u201cLayout Philip Johnson\u201d (1999) made of wooden slats and ten posters \u201cPhilip Johnson \/ The New York Times\u201d (2001\/2025). It may be viewed as a structural comparison of architecture and newspaper layout: In the posters, various newspaper pages from <em>The New York Times <\/em>are superimposed on one another. The text has thereby become illegible, and the grid of the newspaper page is visible in white horizontal and vertical stripes; it now appears as architecture. Located at the beginning of the exhibition, the work can furthermore be understood as an echo of Bayrle\u2019s activity as a book producer at the publishers Gulliver-Presse, as well as of the exhibition building, the former Dondorf printing house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-offset-2 col-xs-10'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\"><figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n<script type=\"application\/json\">{\n\"id\" : 44270,\n\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Bayrle_Philip_Johnson_The_New_York_Times_2001_2013-191x300.jpg\",\"width\":191,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":23914},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Bayrle_Philip_Johnson_The_New_York_Times_2001_2013-652x1024.jpg\",\"width\":652,\"height\":1024,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":247008},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Bayrle_Philip_Johnson_The_New_York_Times_2001_2013-768x1206.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":1206,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":339764},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Bayrle_Philip_Johnson_The_New_York_Times_2001_2013-978x1536.jpg\",\"width\":978,\"height\":1536,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":564235},\"2048x2048\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Bayrle_Philip_Johnson_The_New_York_Times_2001_2013-1304x2048.jpg\",\"width\":1304,\"height\":2048,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":1012357},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Bayrle_Philip_Johnson_The_New_York_Times_2001_2013-280x440.jpg\",\"width\":280,\"height\":440,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":49184},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Bayrle_Philip_Johnson_The_New_York_Times_2001_2013-369x580.jpg\",\"width\":369,\"height\":580,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":82611},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Bayrle_Philip_Johnson_The_New_York_Times_2001_2013-459x720.jpg\",\"width\":459,\"height\":720,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":125984},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Bayrle_Philip_Johnson_The_New_York_Times_2001_2013-815x1280.jpg\",\"width\":815,\"height\":1280,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":383784},\"full\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Bayrle_Philip_Johnson_The_New_York_Times_2001_2013-1223x1920.jpg\",\"width\":1223,\"height\":1920,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":887820},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Schirn_Presse_Bayrle_Philip_Johnson_The_New_York_Times_2001_2013.jpg\",\"width\":2362,\"height\":3709}},\n\"alt\" : \"Collage of fashion designs and city views, published in the New York Times, February 2000.\",\n\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/11\\\/\",\n\"video\" : null,\n\"autoplay\" : null,\n\"youtube\" : null,\n\"youtubelabel\" : \"play\",\n\"brightness\" : 100,\n\"crop\" : null,\n\"background\" : false,\n\"scale\" : 1,\n\"zoom\" : false,\n\"annotations\" : null}<\/script>\n<div class=\"height-container \" style=\"padding-bottom:157.02794242168%;

Consolidated into eight different components in the form of rhombuses, they can be assembled to form image wallpapers of varying sizes. Both crowds of people and individuals are depicted. Bayrle interweaves the ambivalence central to modernism of the individual and society into an ambiguous panorama.<br><br>At the SCHIRN, Bayrle is presenting his series of \u201cHelke\u201d portraits (2022) on it, which he made after the death of his wife. The filmmaker is depicted in various versions with a camera positioned in front of her eye, wearing her signature beret. Helke Bayrle created the innovative series \u201cPortikus Under Construction\u201d. From 1992 onwards, she filmed numerous artists setting up their exhibitions at the <em>Portikus<\/em>, an exhibition venue belonging to the St\u00e4delschule. In this series, Thomas Bayrle combines the motif of the camera as a sign of focused seeing with his method of mapping: A whole emerges from the assembly of the ever-same part.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 ho-pattern-optional-button padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='wp-block-ho-buttons '>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-buttons-item\">\n\t<a

class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>Since the 1970s, the motif of the highway has played a central role in Bayrle\u2019s work. The exhibition shows various works that combine cars, highways, and machines with content and images of the Christian religion. Bayrle produced the video work \u201cAutobahnkreuz\u201d (2006) together with Daniel Kohl, a former student of his at the St\u00e4delschule. Numerous tiles of the same image section of cars driving on a highway culminate, in a slow, zooming movement, in the depiction of the crucified Jesus. The video work is presented in combination with several three-dimensional works made from cardboard. <br><br>In \u201cWeberei \/ Weaving\u201d (2010), Bayrle has created a fusion of fabric and road with intersecting lanes, corresponding to his idea of social fabric. During his training as a weaver in the 1950s, he came into contact with the Jacquard loom. This revolutionized the textile industry and, with the binary code of the punch cards used for pattern creation, also formed the basis for the data processing of the first computers. Bayrle views the separate threads of the loom as individuals that together form the fabric and thus form the collective. Here, too, we see his characteristic principle of moving from the micro to the macro level, from the part to the whole.<br><br>\u201cGerano Pavesi \/ Church\u201d (2015) refers to Autogrill, the Italian highway rest stops founded in 1947 by Mario Pavesi, which are here interwoven to form the shape of a figure of Christ. In works such as \u201cPflanzlich-Carmageddon\u201d (2014), \u201cS\u00e3o Paulo\u201d (2015), and \u201cWeisshorn\u201d (2012), Bayrle draws critical analogies between roads, plants, and natural phenomena. As in his earlier works, Bayrle addresses the destructive effects of industry, tourism, and transportation on the environment, while simultaneously pointing to our own entanglement in these processes.

class='ho-sd-body'>The SCHIRN presents several series in which Bayrle explores iconic works from art history and conventions of Christian imagery. On display are, for instance, three of Bayrle\u2019s adaptations of Caravaggio\u2019s altarpiece \u201cThe Inspiration of St. Matthew\u201d (1602), depicting the act of inspiration of the evangelist by the angel. Following his principle of the superform, Bayrle converts the painting into a small grid and fills each of the boxes with the pictogram of an iPhone. These are rotated, scaled, and distorted in such a way that the superform ultimately emerges from the ordered structure. In \u201cHl. Matth\u00e4us trifft Engel\u201d (2015), the reproduction of the Caravaggio painting is displayed on numerous small screens. The viewers snapping away on their smartphones become part of the work and obscure the view of the actual pixelated motif.<br><br>A group of works on the theme of the ascension of Christ does not refer to a specific historical model. Here, too, Bayrle\u2019s characteristic grid underlies the main figure; the small graphics show female figures ascending and male figures descending. The figure of the ascension is superimposed on various collaged backgrounds. In \u201cAscension I\u201d (2019), a model city is shown dissolving into a newspaper clipping and a checkered grid; in \u201cAscension\u201d (2019), a photographic collage thematically referencing the pandemic, figures in white protective suits walk across a surface of thermal foil, from which isolated human heads and bodies emerge. In \u201cAscension VII\u201d (2019), a protective face mask covers the face of the central figure, which is framed by small glowing screens. The inscription \u201cPfingsten war immer am \u00fcberzeugendsten wegen dem brennenden Rosenstock\u201d (Pentecost was always the most convincing because of the burning rosebush) is only partially legible.<br><br>\u201cHeuhaufen Marmoriert\u201d and \u201cRoll Over Smartfon I\u201d (both 2019) are based on Claude Monet\u2019s famous series of paintings of the \u201cMeules\u201d (haystacks). In this appropriation, Bayrle uses iPhones, some with colorful screens, to build the grain stacks. The year this work was created, one of Monet\u2019s \u201cMeules\u201d paintings sold at auction for the highest price ever realized for a work by the artist. The buyer was art collector and SAP co-founder Hasso Plattner, whose company specializes in software.<br><br>In some of his works, Bayrle has referred to Masaccio\u2019s fresco \u201cThe Expulsion from the Garden of Eden\u201d (1426) in the Brancacci Chapel in Florence. This early Renaissance masterpiece is emblematic of human awareness of the body, nakedness, and mortality. Bayrle focuses on the central couple and supplements it with contemporary references, from which the bodies of Adam and Eve are formed. In \u201cBrancacci Chapel\u201d (2020), the two figures are filled with two different motifs. Bayrle appropriated these from a South Korean news organization, depicting a group of saluting females and a group of protesting males.

Michelangelo\u2019s famous marble sculpture \u201cPiet\u00e0\u201d (1499) at Saint Peter\u2019s Basilica in Rome, which shows a seated Mary with the body of her dead son on her lap, serves as a model here. Bayrle\u2019s \u201cPiet\u00e0 red cars\u201d (2019) consists of a busy, intertwined network of streets with small red cars. \u201cPiet\u00e0 (Airplane)\u201d (2018) is formed of numerous skulls, more densely arranged in the middle to depict an airplane crossing the group. Since the 1980s, air traffic has increased globally to such an extent that it is having a destructive effect on the planet. The tapestry \u201ciPhone Piet\u00e0\u201d (2017) addresses the interconnectedness brought about by the smartphone since the 2010s, which connects man and machine in an unprecedented way. Bayrle had this tapestry produced using an automated loom. In \u201cPiet\u00e0 (Rising Woman, Falling Man)\u201d (2020), the artist takes the Piet\u00e0 motif as the starting point for a reflection on changing gender roles in the twenty-first century.<br><br>A group of works with humorous titles such as Erholung in der \u201cIdiotie I\u201d and \u201cII\u201d (both 2022), \u201cNon Fungible Tokens \u2018Turn Right\u2019\u201d (2022) or \u201cI Fon Salat-Roboter\u201d (2022) focuses on industrial robots, such as those used in the automotive industry. Arranged in the center of the images, the robots are depicted in various stages of their motion sequences. Here again, the images consist of a large number of small iPhones.

He removes car components from their actual functional context and elevates them to the status of sculptures. The exhibition presents \u201cRosary\u201d (2009) with the motorized movement of an isolated Ford Galaxy windscreen wiper. \u201cRosaire\u201d (2012) consists of the cut-open engine of a Citro\u00ebn 2CV, whose pistons move visibly in the cylinders. Both \u201cRosary\u201d and \u201cRosaire\u201d are collaborative works with Bernhard Schreiner and are accompanied by a sound loop of persons praying the rosary. During his training as a pattern draughtsman and weaver, Bayrle felt reminded of people praying the rosary by the repetitive, monotonous noise of the machines on the Jacquard looms. The sculpture \u201cAutomeditation\u201d (1987\/2017) likewise refers to the rosary prayers. It consists of four car tires stacked on top of one another with an excerpt from the Latin prayer <em>Ave Maria<\/em> inscribed on the outside.<br><br>The exhibition closes with depictions of two popular figures. The portraits \u201cKim Kardashian XII\u201d and \u201cXIII\u201d (both 2021) show the contemporary media icon composed of many small red lipsticks. Most of Kardashian\u2019s income stems from the fashion and beauty industry. Bayrle uses formal references to create an analogy to Jan Vermeer\u2019s popular painting \u201cThe Girl with the Pearl Earring\u201d (1655). It does not show a specific person, but is a so-called tronie, a portrait of an imaginary figure. \u201cPope I\u201d and \u201cPope II\u201d (both 2021), depictions of popes with their liturgical headgear, the miter, likewise resemble a conventional ecclesiastical representative rather than a specific person. The composition is made up of many differently colored small shoes, a reference to Pope Benedict XVI&#8217;s distinctive red loafers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div

class='ho-sd-body'>As a SCHIRN pilot project, the tactile floor guidance system \u201cThis Way\u201d by artist Peter Schloss has been adapted specifically for the exhibition \u201cThomas Bayrle. Be Happy!\u201d The unique concept provides orientation and makes the art experience more accessible. A circuit applied to the floor leads to all the works in the exhibition. At fifteen stations, audio texts in German and English provide all necessary information. These texts, written by the curatorial team, have been recorded using artificial intelligence and can be accessed via QR codes. The aim is to offer persons with low vision an autonomous exhibition experience. To this end, \u201cThis Way\u201d leads to all relevant works and maintains sufficient distance from potential hazards and sensitive artworks. Persons with low vision and blind persons in particular are thus guided safely through the exhibition. The transitions to the next work are indicated by the tactile floor guidance system. In addition, a tactile 3D floor plan of the SCHIRN is available in the foyer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 ho-pattern-optional-button padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='wp-block-ho-buttons '>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-buttons-item\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.de\/\"  target=\"\" role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ho-button is-primary mobile-full-width\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ho-button-label \">Lorem Ipsum<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Art of the Superform: Starting on February 12, the SCHIRN will be showing current works by Thomas Bayrle.
