Aschemünder. Goetz Collection at Haus der Kunst

Exhibition 09.04 – 04.09.11

Since spring 2011, the Haus der Kunst is showing films and media art from the Ingvild Goetz Collection in the building's former air-raid shelter. It is in fact the most important collection of art of its kind in Europe, with about 500 works by 170 artists. The exhibitions change about every six months and have focus on different themes.

The first group exhibition is titled "Aschemünder" and will be displayed in the 13 underground, chamber-like rooms of the former air-raid shelter, which are in their original state. They also set the thematic stage for the first presentation: An air-raid shelter signifies refuge and protection in times of war, but it can also communicate a feeling of imprisonment and confinement. The works, by David Claerbout, Willie Doherty, Harun Farocki, Omer Fast, Mona Hatoum, Anri Sala and others, make reference to war, dictatorship, torture and persecution.

David Claerbout, Vietnam, 1967, near Duc Pho (reconstruction after Hiromichi Mine), 2001, Still, 1-Kanal-Videoinstallation, Edition 3

Schatzhäuser Deutschlands

Exhibition 19.11.04 – 13.02.05

The private residences of the German nobility today make up a largely unknown trove of incomparable art treasures, so that one can perhaps speak of a "private German national museum". And so the idea for a large-scale undertaking was born: For the first time ever, a selection of more than 350 outstanding artworks still in the possession of the once ruling families has been united in an exhibition for presentation to the general public.

Sammlung Generali Foundation

Exhibition 09.03 – 16.05.05
