Ausstellung: Sammlung neu entdeckt IV. - Landschaften und Herkunft

In the organizer's words:

Opening: September 06, 7 p.m.
Duration: September 06 to24. October

This exhibition focuses on the historical glass negatives in the holdings of the former East German Artothek of the GHH Foundation. "Landscape" is a multi-layered term. On the one hand, it describes the subjective perception of an area; on the other, it denotes a geographically defined, delimitable space. The historical glass negatives of landscapes in eastern Germany, for example from the Harz Mountains, the Thuringian Forest and Saxony, show both - space and perception. The landscape prints from eastern regions exhibited at the same time do the same, often linked to the origin and memory of the artist. The glass plates have something enduring, something lasting; they are timeless and at the same time memories of things past, things that no longer exist. Unlike the landscape drawings and prints, they do not live from the liveliness and subtleties of a characteristic and individual artistic stroke or brushstroke on paper. They impress in their own way through the remarkable photographic quality that has been preserved over the century.
