About the Exhibition:
Freud on the Couch: Psyche in the Book, organized by Susanne Padberg, is a powerful exhibition centered on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis techniques and the many artists who can be seen as being inspired by them. Using a mix of images and language offered by print, various artists focus on human desires, dreams, and experience in representations of Freud’s famous concepts, including free association, parapraxis, and his discovery of transference & countertransference.

This exhibition includes the works of the following artists: Thorsten Baensch / Sarah Bryant / Crystal Cawley / Ken Campbell / Maureen Cummins / Anne Deguelle / Gerhild Ebel / Stefan Gunnesch / Karen Hanmer / Anna Helm / Kurt Johannessen / Susan Johanknecht / Janosch Kaden / Burgi Kühnemann / M.M.
