Dansk Kunst
In the organizer's words:
Danish positions from the collection of the Kunsthalle Rostock
The Kunsthalle Rostock exhibition building was planned for the biennials of the Baltic Sea countries, Norway and Iceland and opened in 1969 for the third biennial. Through its collecting activities, the Kunsthalle Rostock established itself as a museum for contemporary art. In addition to exhibiting and collecting works by artists from the region, the art centers of the GDR and the Soviet Union, the focus of the museum's activities until 1989 was on presenting art from the Baltic Sea countries. Within the GDR museum landscape, the Kunsthalle Rostock was the only museum to build up a significant collection of works by artists from the Baltic Sea countries, Norway and Iceland. This area of the collection has received little or no attention to date. The Kunsthalle Rostock has therefore set itself the goal of systematically researching and presenting this collection.
As the Danish artists make up the largest part of this collection with over 200 works, they form the starting point: Under the title "Dansk kunst "*, the group exhibition presents over 30 Danish positions from three generations. On display are paintings, sculptures and prints created between 1947 and 1986. What themes, techniques and styles does the viewer encounter over a period of five decades? How were these works acquired? What significance was attached to the exhibited positions in the contemporary Danish art scene at the time and how do we perceive their works today? How did the collecting and exhibiting of Danish positions develop after the end of the GDR? Some of the younger artistic positions were interviewed on the occasion of this exhibition and are also represented in the exhibition with current media contributions. What memories do the artists have of their connection with the Kunsthalle Rostock and how have they developed artistically?
