De nazi's roofden op grote schaal kunst van hun Joodse slachtoffers. Zelden raakte dat werk terug in handen van de rechthebbenden. In België hinkt het onderzoek naar nazi-roofkunst flink achterop in vergelijking met de ons omringende landen. Journalist Geert Sels beet er zich jarenlang in vast en verwittigt dat de Belgische musea schadeclaims mogen verwachten. Jeroen Laureyns zag in Amsterdam het werk van videokunstenares Fiona Tan, die gefascineerd is door landschappen en geschiedenis.

„MoMA nach Berlin zu holen war ein enormes Risiko. Das hat viel Mut erfordert. Ich weiß nicht, ob das heute noch so möglich wäre“, sagt Katharina von Chlebowski, Geschäftsführerin der Freunde der Nationalgalerie. Ziel der Freunde der Nationalgalerie ist es, den Handlungsspielraum der Nationalgalerie und ihrer sechs Häuser in Zeiten knapper öffentlicher Mittel zu erhöhen. Und manchmal sind genau diese unternehmerischen Freiheiten notwendig, um die besten Kunstresultate zu erzielen, erklärt sie. Absoluter Glanzpunkt war zum Beispiel die am 20. Februar 2004 eröffnete Ausstellung „Das MoMA in Berlin“. 1,2 Millionen Besucher strömten in die Neue Nationalgalerie. Heute noch zehren die Freunde vom finanziellen Überschuss von 6,5 Millionen Euro und kaufen davon Kunst ein, darunter Werke von Max Liebermann, Rückerwerbungen „entarteter Kunst“ wie Emil Noldes „Christus und die Sünderin“ sowie zeitgenössische Werke beispielsweise von Jenny Holzer, Christoph Schlingensief oder Fiona Tan. Wir sprechen über die Kultur des Aperitifs, Kunsteinkäufe und weibliche Besetzungen bei Spitzenposten. Katharina verrät auch, wie der perfekte Tag für sie startet und wieso sie so sehr Freiräume für Fehler schätzt.

Fiona Tan doet fotografische projecten, en maakt films en video-installaties. Haar werken bevinden zich vaak in een grijs gebied tussen bewegend en stilstaand beeld: cipiers en gevangenen die je op video bijna bewegingsloos aankijken, of een film die bestaat uit meer dan 4000 foto's. Thematisch raken ze onder meer aan het verstrijken van tijd, de werking van het geheugen en de constructie van geschiedenissen. Haar oeuvre is tot dusver logisch opgebouwd, maar nu is er een verrassende stap: een immens glas-in-loodraam in de Grote Kerk in Alkmaar.

Novelist Will Self, shark expert Gareth Fraser and film expert Ian Hunter join Matthew Sweet for a discussion about sharks, whales and the impact of the book and film Jaws. Jaws started out as a novel which reads as a sociological study of a small American coastal resort full of rather unlikeable characters. It ended up as an iconic film whose heroes engage in a fight to the death with a Great White Man-Eating Machine. Matthew Sweet discusses how the shark came to fill the space once held by the whale, why big teeth still fill our nightmares and whether all publicity is good publicity for the denizens of the oceans with writer Will Self, whose novel 'Shark' was inspired by the film, and Gareth Fraser, who now studies the dental configurations of sharks all because he once sat in a dark cinema, as did life-long Jaws fan, the film expert Ian Hunter. The artist Fiona Tan, whose exhibition was partly inspired by 'Jonah the Giant Whale', a preserved whale exhibited inside a lorry which toured across Europe from the 1950s to the mid-1970s will also appear out of the deep. Presenter: Matthew Sweet Guest: Gareth Fraser, Dept of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield Guest: Ian Hunter, School of Media and Communication, De Montford University Guest: Will Self's latest novel is called 'Shark' Guest: Fiona Tan's exhibition at BALTIC called Depot and draws on Newcastle's history as a whaling port. It run from 10 Jul to 01 Nov 2015. Producer: Jacqueline Smith
