An alternative history of art in Berlin, detaching artistic innovation from art world narratives and connecting it instead to collective creativity and social solidarity. In pre- and post-reunification Berlin, socially engaged artists championed collective art making and creativity over individual advancement, transforming urban space and civic life in the process. During the Cold War, the city’s state of exception invited artists on both sides of the Wall to detour from artistic tradition; post-Wall, art became a tool of resistance against the orthodoxy of economic growth.

Documents the rich allusiveness and intellectual probity of experimental filmmaking-a form that thrived despite having been officially banned-in East German socialism's final years.
Thoralf Knobloch (b. Bautzen 1962; lives and works in Berlin) is among the renowned phalanx of EastGerman painters who have attracted a great deal of attention by bringing new figurative positions back to contemporary art. The artist trained at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts, where Eberhard Havekost, Frank Nitsche, and Thomas Scheibitz were his fellow students. Knobloch's paintings show the mundane world; ostensibly trivial motifs he has observed in his immediate environment. His gaze is distant, impartial, though not without sympathy. His works seem strangely aloof, abstracted from the temporal world. By withdrawing the painted action from any sequence of events, isolating it from narrative contexts, he renders the beholder aware of the object he depicts, urging him to complete it by supplying his own recollections. The book is published in conjunction with the exhibition of Knobloch's work at the Kunstmuseum Dieselkraftwerk, Cottbus (2012), and the Städtische Galerie Dresden (2013). It offers a survey of the different periods of Knobloch's oeuvre and presents new motifs from his most recent grand tour of America.
