For Kunstherbst 2023, US artist Mark Dion has created a work of art from objects from the toy collection of the Stadtmuseum Berlin, which was initially on display at the Museum Nikolaikirche in Berlin. With hundreds of exhibits, his installations not only transcend space and time, but also take a critical look at children's toys themselves.
For the exhibition, Mark Dion spent months researching the collection of around 70,000 objects at the Stadtmuseum Berlin, one of the largest in Germany. On this basis, he created a kind of labyrinth of board games, a pyramid of animals, a circuit with an imaginary race between vehicles of all kinds and other installations. A doll's cave, a war landscape and a "poison cabinet" with borderline and cross-border toys can also be seen in the exhibition.
