How to deal with the 200-year history of the Kunstverein? Invite artists and turn it upside down with them.
The History Show casts a retrospective view on the history of the Kunstverein and questions the past from a present-day perspective. The focus is on artists connected to the Kunstverein in Hamburg The following thematic fields are commented and reflected upon: Citizens and Bourgeoisie, Pictorial Inventions – Formal Inventions, Landscape and Homeland, Religion and Sentiment, Political Movements, Identities, Institutional Critique, Dignified - Defamed - Destroyed, Rehabilitation of Modernism and GDR Art in the FRG. The structure Rotherbaum by Olaf Nicolai arranges the different contributions. By combining works produced specifically for the exhibition with photographs, texts, and further documents from 1817 until today, the show reflects the history of the Kunstverein at the present and simultaneously raises questions of a possible future.
The project was realized in cooperation with the Art History Seminar Universität Hamburg headed by Prof. Dr. Uwe Fleckner and is based on the scientific review of the 200-year history of the Kunstverein.
With the kind support of the Ministry of Culture of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, the Hamburger Sparkasse, the Körber-Stiftung and the Department of Art History, Universität Hamburg.
Curated by Bettina Steinbrügge and Corinna Koch
