With a total of over 200 works by 100 artists and groups from different periods and contexts, there are plenty of discoveries to be made in the collection exhibition As We Are. Thematic areas and artist spaces formulate a variety of different settings from the 1960s to the present day on 2,500 square meters.
There are spaces on political, contemplative or humanly reshaped landscapes, on images of Germany, on love with all its clichés, on gender and cultural identities, on public space, but also on the concept of painting, on vertical form or the diversity of blackness. Artist rooms on Mel Chin, Anna Ehrenstein, Isa Genzken, Norbert Schwontkowski and Sibylle Springer present different artistic approaches in a concentrated manner. The focus is on art historical issues as well as socio-political discourses. A common thread running through the exhibition is the potential of art to develop resistant views of the familiar, to adopt surprising perspectives on what connects us all, and thus to offer exciting, unusual, clever, humorous, poetic or unsparing foundations for approaching the big questions of our time through art.
