In.SIGHT. Die Schenkung Schröder
In the organizer's words:
The exhibition IN.SIGHT is being created in honor of the most extensive donation in the history of the Galerie der Gegenwart: Berlin-based collector and gallery owner Alexander Schröder (*1968) is bequeathing an impressive collection of 63 works with a total of 78 elements to the Hamburger Kunsthalle. Schröder grew up in Hamburg and began collecting art in 1994 while studying fine arts at the University of the Arts in Berlin (now UdK) and founded the NEU gallery in the same year - with the mindset and perspective of artists always in mind. His now 30-year collection comprises international contemporary art in a wide range of media, including photographs, installations, sculptures and paintings by contemporary artists. The IN.SIGHT show provides an insight into Schröder's identity as a collector and, in the ambiguity of the exhibition title - which is borrowed from a work by Philippe Thomas (1951-1995) - also refers to central themes that run through Schröder's collection. The socio-critical artistic positions from the 1970s to the present day reveal perspectives and question existing norms in relation to social spaces, architecture, institutions, gender identities, body politics, migration, nation states, racism and colonial history. Many works take the perspective of identities that historically belong to a minority and focus on the marginalized and overlooked. They make changed perspectives tangible and visible.
