Notes |
English: The word “Kundu” is the Pidgin English word for rosewood, the material from which this drum is made. It is the most commonly used musical instrument in Papua New Guinea. The kundu is usually carved from one piece of wood in the shape of an hour-glass and can be ornately incised with crocodiles, pigs, or faces of totemic ancestors. The skin of tree Kangaroo, snakes or lizards is stuck in place with a strong natural resin to form the tympanum which is set at the correct pitch by moving pellets or gum or bee’s wax on its surface.
Since the drummers often smear themselves with pig grease or coconut oil the drums attain a high polish with use. (Grace Vele)
Deutsch: Das Wort "Kundu" ist das englische Pidgin-Wort für Palisanderholz, das Material, aus dem diese Trommel hergestellt wird. Sie ist das am häufigsten verwendete Musikinstrument in Papua-Neuguinea. Die Kundu wird in der Regel aus einem Stück Holz in Form einer Sanduhr geschnitzt und kann mit Krokodilen, Schweinen oder Gesichtern von totemistischen Ahnen verziert sein. Die Haut von Baumkängurus, Schlangen oder Eidechsen wird mit einem starken Naturharz verklebt, um das Trommelfell zu bilden, das durch die Bewegung von Kügelchen, Gummi oder Bienenwachs auf seiner Oberfläche auf die richtige Tonhöhe eingestellt wird. Da sich die Trommler oft mit Schweinefett oder Kokosnussöl einschmieren, erhalten die Trommeln mit dem Gebrauch einen hohen Glanz. (Grace Vele)

The estate of Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, owned by the Karl and Emy Schmidt-Rottluff Foundation at the Brücke Museum, contains his collection of around 100 sculptures and objects with colonial backgrounds. The Brücke artist himself never travelled outside Europe and, to the best of current knowledge, bought these objects in the art trade and from private owners from the 1910s onwards. The collection includes ritual and everyday objects, alongside souvenirs for the Western market. The way they were perceived underwent changes: they came to be seen as objects of art and decoration. Little is known of their origins, the circumstances of their acquisition, or the historical and current importance of the objects. Most of them originate from Germany’s former colonies, thus referring directly to German Expressionists’ entanglements in the often unlawful appropriation of material culture in colonially occupied lands.
