Collection Satellite #10

Sun, May 17, 2026–Sun, Jan 24, 2027

Kaiser Wilhelm Museum

Since 2018, the Collection Satellite series has opened up new and unexpected perspectives on the Kunstmuseen Krefeld’s collection and history. For the tenth edition, British artist Emma Talbot (born 1969 in Stourbridge, UK) responds to one of the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum’s most significant monumental works: the mural cycle Ages of Life (Lebensalter) created by Johan Thorn Prikker in 1923. With an expansive installation in the Thorn Prikker Hall and additional works, Talbot will present her vividly painted visions of the life cycle — set within a multi-layered, interwoven, and unstable present. Known for her expressive installations made of painted silk, sculptural ensembles, drawings, and film animations, Emma Talbot is the winner of the 8th Max Mara Art Prize for Women and participated in The Milk of Dreams at the Venice Biennale 2022.
