In Preparation. Die Ausstellung
In the organizer's words:
As flawless as possible and almost as it was originally created - that is certainly the ideal way to present a work of art in an exhibition. However, in order to be able to show visitors paintings, sculptures, graphic works or design objects in this form, museums sometimes have to go to great lengths. In the run-up to an exhibition, it is not only necessary to repair any damage to the exhibits or to prevent this during transportation. It is also necessary to ensure that they are stored permanently under the most stable climatic conditions possible, to consider different requirements for their public presentation and to take precautions against other possible causes of damage.
With these fundamental tasks and questions of restoration science , In Preparation. The exhibition focuses on a discipline whose work usually remains hidden from the general public. Using the holdings of the Museum (MKK) and the Foundation for Concrete Art and Design (SKKD) as a concrete example, the show attempts to illustrate how complex the tasks of conservators are and what preparatory work is necessary for the presentation of the collections in the museum's new rooms planned for 2026.
At numerous stations, visitors have the opportunity to become active themselves and learn more about the methods, work processes and ethical principles of this discipline through practical applications.
