MARTIN KIPPENBERGER'S "THE HAPPY END OF FRANZ KAFKA'S AMERIKA"ACCOMPANIED BY ORSON WELLES' FILM "THE TRIAL" AND TANGERINE DREAM'S ALBUM"THE CASTLE""K" is a project that features three elements in dialogue with each other: the fundamental work byGerman artist Martin Kippenberger The Happy End of Franz Kafka's "Amerika", the iconic OrsonWelles film The Trial and the electronic music album The Castle by Tangerine Dream.The project, curated by Udo Kittelmann, refers to three unfinished novels by Franz Kafka:Amerika (America), Der Prozess (The Trial) and Das Schloss (The Castle) publishedposthumously between 1925 and 1927. The exhibited artworks are personal readings of Kafka'ssubjects and atmospheres, possible interpretations of his three novels which, according to MaxBrod, form a "trilogy of solitude".As underlined by Udo Kittelmann, "we may also view 'K' as a triptych, an exhibition thatresembles a tripartite, triple-layered picture. The three parts can be read together as aremarkable allegory of the vicissitudes of life, or, in Kafka's words: 'All these parables really setout to say merely that the incomprehensible is incomprehensible, and we know that already.'"
