For some time now, tense conditions have shaped our everyday lives. Whether its curfews, violence or the search for one’s own identity, we are constantly in the process of readjusting and getting our bearings. Artists respond to the vulnerability and confusion that lies in control, racial discrimination and exclusion. The uncertainty and instability that we experience every day is represented in their work.
The new collection presentation will show contemporary artworks from Scharpff-Striebich’s private art collection confronted with twentieth-century works from the Staatsgalerie’s own collection. These works highlight the complex and contradictory nature of our society.
