Jonas Hafner - Lacrimae/La crime - Städtisches Museum Mönchengladbach 1976
Box of brown cardboard with hole-punched fish in the lid, edited on the occasion of the artist's exhibition, summer 1976.
With Lacrimae - La Crime (The Tears - The Crime), Jonas Hafner put his finger in a wound that affected North Rhine-Westphalian monument conservation, church and state politics alike. The exhibition referred to the demolition three years earlier of the neo-Gothic Dominican Church on Herzogstraße in Düsseldorf, which was demolished along with the monastery in 1973 to make room for the new building of the expanding Westdeutsche Landesbank. Hafner, who had studied with Joseph Beuys at the Kunstakademie and earned a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Düsseldorf, approached the subject as a scholar and as an artist. He documented the demolition in texts, drawings and over 200 photographs, secured objects and fragments and dealt with the events in his own works (paintings and sculptures) in order to preserve the memory of the cultural, religious and spiritual contents that had disappeared.
Content: 26 cards, 3 posters, relief printing of a chalice and a stamped wafer.
