Fun and Protest, hedonism, and politics: The spectrum of music there are virtually no limits. Accordingly, present since Thursday (17. August) exhibits of Marlene Dietrich on Pure and Ton Steine Scherben up to the Fantastic Four in the Museum for communication in Frankfurt am Main.
The Show starts in the 1920s. This is partly due to the then-beginning of the end of the spread of the new medium of Radio. “In addition, the gramophone and the shellac holding-plate feeder in the living room,” said Jan Christoph Greim in an interview with DW.

It was also to pay tribute to the five proposed locations of the wall exhibition. In Frankfurt, succeeded on the presentation of the soldier station AFN, the transported in the zone of occupation the American Way of Life. In the works of 140 artists, visitors can immerse themselves through the headphones, the exhibition posters and the plate cover, the Subversive, as well as the Mainstream. Among the other exhibits, a stage suit of James Last, and a duffel bag of Elvis Presley, in the fan mail of the “King” was sent to the German Bad Nauheim, where Presley as a GI, was stationed.
Curator Greim says of the 1920s, as well as of the development of popular music in post-war Germany. “In the’ 20s, it was also about the Revolution of the woman who suddenly ran out and publicly smoked and drank. With cocaine, it was also the first designer drug.” The example of the singing group Comedian harmonists, the Exhibition shows how the national socialists umsprangen with “Aryan and a “non-Aryan” artists.

“Exciting the post-war period,” says Greim. At the time, Elvis and the Rock ‘n’ Roll to Germany, and later the Beatles that served German Bands such as the Lords in the Federal Republic of Germany and the Sputnik in the GDR as a model swept. In 1965, the first youth music, came up with the Beat-Club show on German TV. Also, the German composer and musical pioneer Karlheinz Stockhausen in the exhibition is a tribute to. Stockhausen is considered one of the pioneers of Electronic music. His work has been influenced by icons of Pop such as Frank Zappa or the power plant. Some of his admirers, he is even seen as the father of the Techno.
“Oh Yeah!” but also shows how music styles that have their origin in a Protest – and youth cultures, lose their power, if the commercial success catches up with you. “The New German wave went to their own popularity,” says curator Jan Christoph Greim. As the record companies realized that to earn money was created, you retort Bands. “This inflationary trend has not survived the NDW.”
The Show, which has its origin in Bern, where the local Museum for communication, the pop music in Switzerland, has addressed, is still up to the 25. To see February 2018 in Frankfurt. Subsequently, she has appeared in Berlin, Leipzig and Stuttgart.
