In the context of the European Month of Photography with the motto “Touch”, we are juxtaposing photographic works that address “touch” in a variety of ways such as photographs of abandoned and war-torn places, of people and the city of Berlin from 1936 until the end of the Cold War, and of photographs that address active touch, the tactile, and the fragile materiality of our environment.

The essence of an active collection is that it grows and in the best case finds no end. So we are happy about new additions from the past two years from a variety of disciplines: photography, drawing, collage, painting, printmaking.

The stubborn thing about empty spaces is that, strictly speaking, they are never really empty. And that is fortunate. But the contents of a room are not always well-placed or beautiful to look at, or even arranged in a functionally sensible way. Our showroom, too, is always changing in its function and sight: from carefully arranged exhibition, to construction site, to hopeless chaos and temporary depot, to bustling studio. A look behind the scenes of art and cultural production.

Comic artists and caricaturists are true masters of their craft. In times of a supposed decline in craftsmanship, they celebrate the art of drawing in versatile styles and varied humor. The collection includes original drawings from the filmcartoon production of Pink Panther, to Janosch, to contemporary comic artists such as Moritz von Wolzogen.

Since its emergence in the past 110 years, the technique and art form of collage has conquered like no other the most diverse art forms: starting from the pictorial composition of material and image cut-outs glued together, material, object, text, sound, and film collages are still being created today and have also seamlessly made the transition from analog to digital. We begin with a compilation of analog works from half a century.

Painting, as one of the oldest art forms, lost its documentary depiction function at the beginning of the 20th century and has since undergone a wide variety of developments in terms of subject matter, technique, etc. The collection focuses on abstraction and brings together a cross-section of works by artists who use the medium of painting to create very different representations.

The 1960s are considered to be the years with the highest birth rates in the west. This could also be applied to art, because this period is characterized like no other by the emergence and simultaneity of many art and style trends that could hardly have been more different and are rarely shown together because of their contrasts.

It is the art of the 20th and 21st centuries that has shaped us and accompanies us. How can most diverse works from 100 years be condensed into a chord on one wall or in one room? This is the central question of a collection for which there are many answers. This exhibition series is an experiment in search of polyphonic harmony.

“In the multiple, the question of the original […] is shifted and condensed into paradoxes, […] as »multiplied original works« (Daniel Spoerri), […] as »multicates« (Peter Weibel), […] as »originals in series« (Karl Gerstner) [… ]”. Claus Pias´ description already suggests how exciting and versatile the concept of the multiple can be to balance the contradiction between serial production and original. The selected objects show very different approaches and refer in this breadth to the conceptual diversity that could and can arise with the idea of the multiple.
