"Die stille Revolte der Dinge. Schenkung Schröder"
In the organizer's words:
The exhibition The Silent Revolt of Things at the Kunstmuseum Bremerhaven presents works from Alexander Schröder's donation - the most extensive in the history of the Kunstverein Bremerhaven von 1886 e.V. It was curated by Stefanie Kleefeld, Director of the Kunsthalle and Kunstmuseum Bremerhaven, together with Alexander Schröder.
Alexander Schröder, collector and gallery owner, began collecting contemporary art in the 1990s, focusing on conceptual strategies and socio-critical perspectives. Following significant donations to the Hamburger Kunsthalle (2024), the Museum Ludwig in Cologne (2019) and the Museum moderner Kunst in Vienna (2018), Schröder left a collection of over 57 works by renowned artists to the Kunstverein Bremerhaven von 1886 e.V.. This generous donation represents a significant expansion of the Kunstverein's collection and opens up new perspectives on its holdings.
The silent revolt of things provides an insight into 22 artistic positions that question social structures, pursue poetic and stubborn strategies or reflect on economic mechanisms. The exhibition focuses on subtle gestures, deliberate reduction and subtle irritations. In addition to works - by Juliette Blightman, Cerith Wyn Evans, Kitty Kraus, Lucy McKenzie, Manfred Pernice and Andreas Slominski, among others - that question existing norms with regard to social spaces, architecture, gender, identity and sexuality, the exhibition presents forms of critical painting as well as positions of social and economic criticism.
