Art meets comedy

Following on from our series "Art Meets Art", we are devoting our new video series to the field of comedy. What happens when comedians meet works of art by Old Masters? In "Art Meets Comedy" we invite interesting personalities from the comedy scene to a rendezvous in the Staatsgalerie. In the short films, they take viewers on their very own tour of the museum and show new and exhilarating approaches to art.

Teddy Tedros Teclebrhan

He is known throughout Germany as Antoine, Percy or simply as Teddy - Tedros Teclebrhan. In his role as Antoine Burtz, the comedian and musician filmed his music video "Mona Lisa" in our collection. In this video he meets the works in our museum. Without a script, of course, with a lot of spontaneity and wit.

Dodokay

In this episode, Dodokay visits us. Dominik Kuhn is a producer, comedian and language artist. He became known in 2006 under the pseudonym "Dodokay" through his new dubbings in Swabian, which were first published on YouTube - it's logical that he interprets the Old Masters accordingly!

Cordula Stratmann

In this episode, comedian Cordula Stratmann takes a close look at classical modernism. Why do women have to be undressed to be painted? That was just one of her questions to art.

Tamika Campell

In this edition of “Art meets comedy,” German-American and feminist comedian Tamika Campbell takes a look at classical modernism. Why did so many artists earn so little money during their lifetimes and not as much as Michael Jackson? And who was Paul Gaugin anyway? These were just two of her questions and refreshing comments.

Gerburg Jahnke

Gerburg Jahnke, a cabaret artist from the very beginning, goes on an exploratory tour with animal companions in the new episode and takes a humorous, feminist look at the art in the Staatsgalerie.

Dominik Artefex

In this video featuring Dominik Artefex, who has been causing a sensation with his Hessian comedy for several years now, the comedian's three characters, Giesela, Udo, and Marius, go on a company excursion to the Staatsgalerie. After finally finding the entrance, they discover that the works of old German painting have more to do with them and their everyday working lives than they thought.

Freshtorge

In this video featuring Freshtorge, who became famous as a YouTuber thanks to his videos featuring bizarre characters, all played by himself, his characters Helga and Marianne meet at the Staatsgalerie. Instead of chatting over the garden fence at home, they talk about art and, above all, ink boxes in the Italian collection.

Jakob Schwerdtfeger

Jakob Schwerdtfeger, stand-up comedian, author, and presenter, focuses on the Staatsgalerie in this video. Full of passion, merciless, and funny, the trained art historian and Spiegel bestselling author looks at highlights and background information, true to his motto: “I see what you don't see, and that is art.”

Cossu

The comedian Cossu visits the Staatsgalerie in his role as a Black Forest native. The Baden man takes a closer look at the works of art in the state capital and encourages visitors to think carefully about what they see.
