Overview

Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart ( 898- 9 2), an artist associated with many contemporary greats, and Ilse Leda ( 9 - 98 ), a dancer, dance teacher and choreographer, met at a time when the international avant-garde of constructive, non-representational abstraction and thus of new approaches to photography, film and dance was arriving in Hanover. Both were deeply impressed by the grand utopia of a world improved by clarity of design and beauty. They adopted these principles for themselves – also as an expression of their ideas and work – through the times of upheaval, their emigration to Amsterdam, and their arrival at a very personal art of formal reduction and brilliant colours, lightness and enduring humanity. Sensitive texts and impressive contemporary photographs reveal the couple's respectful coexistence: on an equal footing, supporting and inspiring each other. Dancing images and artistic dance – in conjunction with clear aesthetics in both art and life.
