EN PASSANT Status

Smartphones with German as their system language automatically download the German audio tracks and texts when ENPASSANT is restarted.  The audio guide to the exhibition invites visitors to acquaint themselves with less well-known artworks of Impressionism – sculptures that capture the ephemerality of a moment in bronze, plaster or wax.  In fascinating juxtapositions, the Städel Museum is bringing together 160 works of sculpture, prints, photographs and paintings – including examples by Monet, Manet, Boldini and Singer Sargent – and thus exploring the phenomenon of impressionist sculpture for the first time ever.  Smartphones with any other system language automatically download the English version.  With a duration of approximately 60 minutes, ENPASSANT offers illustrated audio tracks on 30 artworks.  Edgar Degas, Auguste Rodin, Medardo Rosso, Paolo Troubetzkoy and Rembrandt Bugatti found striking answers to that question.  If you have suggestions or criticism, please contact app@staedelmuseum. de and tell us your smartphone device type and operating system.  The audio guide app is available in German and English.  Light and colour, atmosphere and the fleeting moment – but how can impressionism be translated into stone or bronze?  In the device settings, it is possible to change the system language to correspond to the desired language version of the audio app (German or English).
