Jakob Schwerdtfeger - Meisterwerk

Art touches our lives far more than we realise. The Aldi bag, the Renault logo, Louis Vuitton handbags - all designed by artists. Art is political, provocative, gripping, and above all genuinely fun. Jakob Schwerdtfeger explores every side of it, juggling art history with ease - from cave paintings to graffiti. He turns the stage into his canvas: comedy, painted to perfection.

Deep awe. Wide eyes. Dropped jaws. That's the classic reaction to the Sistine Chapel - and to Jakob Schwerdtfeger's new show "Meisterwerk". As a comedian and art historian, he blends humour with art knowledge: the Mona Lisa's smile becomes a fit of laughter, and Munch's famous painting turns into a shout of joy. Schwerdtfeger casts art history in a completely new light, moving through it as playfully as if it were a bouncy castle.
