The renovation of the listed building of the Kunsthalle Rostock in 2020 represents for the museum a moment of upheaval, pause, farewell and new beginning at the same time. Rostock is thus preserving an important symbol of the museum and urban development of the GDR from 1969. At the same time, the idea of developing an installation that takes up this upheaval in terms of content and forms a bridge to the history of the Kunsthalle Rostock is being developed together with the Berlin based artist Andrea Pichl. For this, the sculptor used discarded architectural fragments from the exterior and interior of the Kunsthalle Rostock and reassembled them in the form of a newspaper kiosk of the Deutsch...
The art of the avant-garde, the 'degenerate art', combated by the National Socialists in Germany has been widely researched and exhibited to the public in recent decades.The conformist, 'good' art aligned with National Socialist ideology, in contrast, silently disappeared into warehouses after 1945.Art was supposed to stabilize the system, hearten in difficult times, and communicate values such as a fighting spirit, family, and tradition.This publication knowledgeably shows that the artworks did truly completely lack any critical potential or humanist aspirations. It also documents the inner conflict of the time and juxtaposes works that conformed to the regime with those by critical, persec...
Anna Bogouchevskaias Bildhauerei ist geopolitischer Umgang mit Themen an der Schnittstelle von Figuration zur Abstraktion. Es ist der erste Catalogue Raisonné der deutsch- russischen Bildhauerin, der auch ihr Frühwerk in der Auseinandersetzung mit den Werken des französisch- russischen Künstlers Marc Chagall zeigt. Nach dem Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs übersiedelte die Künstlerin von Moskau nach Berlin, wobei ihr Übergang zum Mittelbau ihres künstlerischen Werkes sich zunehmend in ihrer Skulptur den Naturphänomenen zuwendet, wie etwa dem verbindenden Element des Wassers in seinen unterschiedlichen Aggregatzuständen und Erscheinungsformen. Die Publikation ordnet ihr Werk der vergangen...
The Nazi Worker is the second in a three-volume project on the figure of the worker and, by extension, questions of class in twentieth-century German culture. It is based on extensive research in the archives and informed by recent debates on the politics of emotion, the end of class, and the future of work. In seven chapters, the book reconstructs the processes by which National Socialism appropriated aspects of working-class culture and socialist politics and translated class-based identifications into the racialized communitarianism of Volksgemeinschaft (folk community). Arbeitertum (workerdom), the operative term within these processes of appropriation, not only established a discursive ...

Malerei, eine ebenso oft totgesagte wie wiederauferstandene Gattung der Kunst, verdankt jene Impulse, die zu ihrer immer neuen Wiederbelebung führen, vor allem den jungen Künstlern. Sie sind es, die bekanntem immer wieder neue Facetten hinzugesellen und so das Genre stets aufs Neue definieren und in die künstlerischen und gesellschaftlichen Diskurse hineintragen. Durch die Präsentation solcher belebenden Arbeiten die fortbestehende Bedeutung von Malerei immer wieder zu bekräftigen, unser Publikum in Erstaunen zu versetzen und darüber hinaus zu verdeutlichen, was diese scheinbar antiquierte Gattung dann doch sein kann, ist seit Jahren ausdrückliches Anliegen unserer Museen.0Vor diesem ...
In which ways are environments (post-)socialist and how do they come about? How is the relationship between the built environment, memory, and debates on identity enacted? What are the spatial, material, visual, and aesthetic dimensions of these (post-)socialist enactments or interventions? And how do such (post-)socialist interventions in environments become (re)curated? By addressing these questions, this volume releases ›curation‹ from its usual museological framing and carries it into urban environments and private life-worlds, from predominantly state-sponsored institutional settings with often normative orientations into spheres of subjectification, social creativity, and material commemorative culture.
