"This year Haus der Kunst marks the 75th anniversary of its public opening. This anniversary gives us the opportunity to reflect on the historical legacy of the museum, especially on the building as an icon of ideological power; on the various positions of art through its history and the stories of what it is today." (Okwui Enwezor, 2012)
In 2012, Haus der Kunst opened its doors for its 75th year. At the same time, it looked back upon its 20-year existence as Stiftung Haus der Kunst München GmbH. As part of the programs marking the 75/20 anniversary, two major exhibitions opened on June 9: "Image Counter Image" and "Histories in Conflict: Haus der Kunst and the Ideological Uses of Art, 1937-1955". Occupying the vectors where global media industries, artistic reflection, and ideological power intersect, the two exhibitions explored the complex zones of mediatized image regimes and artistic propaganda in shaping public opinion. "Image Counter Image" focused on the critical analysis of media images of conflict situations and wars. "Histories in Conflict" reflected on the complex and complicated historical process that created Haus der Kunst as we now know it and illuminated its history in an international context.
Accompanying the exhibition openings on June 9 a two-day symposium took place, which brought together some of the sharpest critical thinkers on the historical and theoretical issues surrounding the exhibitions.
