Galerie Oben und Clara Mosch
In the organizer's words:
Contrary to the official cultural scene in the GDR, Karl-Marx-Stadt (Chemnitz) became a hotspot for the alternative art scene in the early 1970s.
alternative art scene. With the Galerie Oben and the Clara Mosch artists' group (1977-1982), which also ran a producers' gallery, there were two institutions in the city that attracted art lovers from all over the country with their unconventional exhibition program, actions and events. At the same time, these venues also served as platforms for artists who were not recognized as such by the state. Here they were given their first exhibition opportunities within the framework of the unofficial scene.
The exhibition uses numerous original documents, photos, posters, postcards and letters to tell the story of both galleries and bring them back to life. Changing monthly presentations introduce artists who were present in the gallery between 1973 and 1990, allowing visitors to experience a broad spectrum of artistic trends from this period. Furthermore, the so-called "Wednesday events" of the Galerie Oben in the form of artist talks, lectures,
readings and film screenings and invite you to enter into conversation with the protagonists of the time.
