Description

"Von Ferne: Bilder zur DDR" zeigt photographische Bilder aus der und über die DDR. Zu sehen sind Arbeiten, für die sich Künstler fremde wie auch eigene Bilder (erneut) aneignen und für eine Neubetrachtung öffnen. Manche Arbeiten gehen über die Aneignung auf visueller Ebene hinaus, verschränken in medienübergreifenden Ansätzen Bild und Text, verwenden das eine als Gegenstück des anderen und umgekehrt. Die Bilder erzählen von Orten und Situationen, wie sie einst existierten. Doch stellt sich die Frage, welche Wirklichkeit ein Bild repräsentiert, zumal wenn zwischen den Bildern durch den künstlerischen Eingriff andere und neue Beziehungen hergestellt werden. Im Umgang mit dem visuellen Nachlass der DDR wollen nicht nur Spuren von Wirklichkeit aufgezeigt werden, die einer vergangenen Zeit entstammen: Es geht weniger um die Produktion von Bildern und ihr Potenzial, Ausschnitte aus Raum und Zeit zu fixieren, als vielmehr um verborgene Wissensvorräte und um ihre Vieldeutigkeit. Mit Arbeiten von Tina Bara, Seiichi Furuya, Tamami Iinuma, Sven Johne, Jens Klein, Jürgen Kuttner, Christian Lange, Emanuel Mathias, Katrin Mayer, Simon Menner, Einar Schleef, Christine Schlegel, Joachim Schmid, Erasmus Schröter, Maya Schweizer, Gabriele Stötzer, Paul Alexander Stolle, Elisabeth Tonnard, Andreas Trogisch, Joerg Waehner und Ulrich Wüst. --Publisher's website. "From Far Away: Images of the GDR features photographs from, and about, the GDR. The works on display are photographs by others and of their own (used again) that the artists have appropriated and rereleased for fresh viewing. Some of these works go beyond appropriation on the visual plane to interlock image and text in transmedial approaches, using one as the foil to the other and vice versa. All these pictures tell of places and situations as they once were. Nonetheless, the question arises of what reality a picture represents, especially when new, different relationships are created between images through artistic intervention. Dealing with the visual legacy of the GDR means not only revealing traces of reality going back to a time past: the exhibition is less concerned with the production of pictures and their potential for recording snippets from space and time than it is with the stores of knowledge they conceal and their multiple meanings. With works by Tina Bara, Seiichi Furuya, Tamami Iinuma, Sven Johne, Jens Klein, Jürgen Kuttner, Christian Lange, Emanuel Mathias, Katrin Mayer, Simon Menner, Einar Schleef, Christine Schlegel, Joachim Schmid, Erasmus Schröter, Maya Schweizer, Gabriele Stötzer, Paul Alexander Stolle, Elisabeth Tonnard, Andreas Trogisch, Joerg Waehner and Ulrich Wüst. --Publisher's website.
