The starting point of the exhibition is a selection of objects that date from 1908 to the present — paintings, sculptures, prints and photographs — from the Kunsthalle Rostock’s collection. It will also offer an impression of the Kunsthalle Rostock’s atmosphere and program by including furnishings and documentation of past exhibitions. These artworks, which may be seen in the exhibition hall of the former industrial complex of the Stiftung Reinbeckhallen, in Berlin-Schöneweide, alongside a selection of works from the collection of the host institution, reveal conceptual and thematic similarities between both institutions. These are complemented by works created by contemporary artists who have exhibited at Kunsthalle Rostock in recent years. Both spaces are thus responding to the demand of the present for a common dialogue and the necessity of moving closer together.
The exhibition is curated by Tereza de Arruda in collaboration with the Stiftung Reinbeckhallen and Kunsthalle Rostock. The art historian has been a guest curator at Kunsthalle Rostock since 2016 and has worked on various projects of the Stiftung Reinbeckhallen.
The exhibition is accompanied by a program consisting of artist talks, tours, and educational guided tours. The overview of the accompanying program can be found here.
The catalog Art & Halls. Kunstsinn über Mauern hinweg (German and English) is available at the Stiftung Reinbeckhallen or can be ordered online. Find further information here.
