Solange Lingnau, Director of Stiftung Reinbeckhallen
“Curated by Tereza de Arruda, Kunst & Hallen. Kunstsinn über Mauern hinweg (Art & Halls. A Sense of Art beyond Walls) offers us the opportunity to discuss today’s cultural and political structures and their development, to recognise our role within this contemporary landscape, and to reflect on our own position as a cultural institution. Shown at the Reinbeckhallen and documented in this catalogue, this exhibition provides insight into these discussions, which are both a source of excitement and inspiration for us as a young institution.”
Dr. Uwe Neumann, Director of Kunsthalle Rostock
“Built for the former GDR’s only biennial – the Ostsee-Biennale (Baltic Sea Biennial) – in 1969, the Kunsthalle Rostock’s history is hugely significant. Its puristic architecture makes it a timeless place with international renown, and the museum’s varied collection today still offers ample opportunity to make discoveries. Besides focusing on our own collection, we also take our role as the only art museum built in the GDR very seriously. Indeed, we were the first port of call for many artists, especially from the Berlin area, seeking to exhibit their work after the reunification of Germany. We are delighted that so many artists, particularly from Berlin, who have had exhibitions at our museum are now showing their work in Berlin, thanks in part to the acquisitions we made for the collection.”
Tereza de Arruda, Curatorial Statement
“As an authentic monument of GDR cultural history, the Kunsthalle Rostock fulfills and extends its function as a mediator of art and culture within two different political systems. Like a lighthouse in the north of the GDR, the museum created orientation and enabled navigation towards cultural exchange. Not only metaphorically, but also in reality, this stable structure survived storms and high waves for decades. Its special history as part of the German-German cultural policy of the last five decades and its fragile character are part of the spirit of the times. We want to show that art today exists neither as a victor nor as a victim, but as a contemporary witness. In every epoch there are new questions, and art gives us the answers. Art is not a consequence, it is a cause. Art should not prove itself as a product. Art should multiply the production of values. However, these values are partly dictated by ideologies and principles. During the Cold War, when Kunsthalle Rostock was created and the majority of its holdings were created, there was massive competition between East and West. Art served as propaganda and as evidence of one’s identity, potential and strength.”

The Stiftung Reinbeckhallen’s Residency Program
Residency Program
The aim of the Stiftung Reinbeckhallen’s residency program is to help artists, particularly those working in the visual and performing arts, develop their work by offering them a living/working studio and the support of a professional team in the vibrant city of Berlin. In alignment with the Stiftung Reinbeckhallen’s central value of maintaining an openness with regards to its program, the Residency Program is developed individually in discussion between its team and each participating artist. The same applies to the final presentation of work, for which the Project Space of the Stiftung Reinbeckhallen can be used.

Successful applicants will be offered an 80 sqm apartment that includes a work space. Each residency period lasts between 8 to 10 weeks and takes place during the following weeks:
• April 11th – June 5th
• July 18th – September 11th
• October 4th – November 27th
At the end of each residency period, artists will be given a space of approximately 75 sqm for the presentation of an exhibition, performance, or similar project, for up to 10 days.
What We Offer
• A free space to live and work in
• An exhibition space to accommodate the artist’s final presentation (to be included in the Stiftung Reinbeckhallen’s program)
• On-site organizational, curatorial, and communication support

Public Collection of Questions
NO NEED FOR ANSWERS?, Performative Printing Workshop
… let us at least agree that we want to save the possibility of questions … (Jacques Derrida, 1997)
The Werkstatt Neue Drucke awaits your questions about current affairs and makes them legible! On the Day of Printing Arts the collected questions will be part of an art project that explores and makes visible the practice of asking questions in an open experimental set-up.
The starting point for this open laboratory is the assumption that the act of formulating a question—by means of writing in the printing and writing process—forms a complex system of approaches that offers far more opportunities for associations than linear answers. Following the idea that writing was designed by and has a creative effect on people, the printing workshop sets out to search for and deal with current phenomena of social communication.
Between March 15 and 27, 2021, a temporary space will be created in the Stiftung Reinbeckhallen, where printing is interpreted as an act of creative intervention in society. If you would like to send us your questions in whatever language you prefer, please do so via email or postcard up until March 10, 2021:

Recommended for children ages 10+
Concept and Design by Ulrike Koloska
As part of the virtual JiM workshop, Ulrike Koloska, director of the Werkstatt Neue Drucke in the Reinbeckhallen, encourages children ages 10+ to make themselves heard by designing posters with images and words. In doing so, Koloska makes known how this wonderful old technique of printing is still relevant today.
The book printing workshop Zukunft – Buch will take place in three stages:
1. Making the letters and printing the book cover (steps 1–9)
2. Making the picture motifs with found materials and templates (photos)
3. Making the Japanese binding (photos + videos)
We hope you have fun!
Photographs and films taken during the book printing workshop can be sent to presse@jugend-im-museum.de.
