The Assault of the Present on the Rest of Time.
Artistic Testimonies of War and Repression

“The exhibition The Assault of the Present on the Rest of Time. Artistic Testimonies of War and Repression presents historical and contemporary positions that address state violence and opression. The focus is on the aspect of testimony. Works from the 1930s and 1940s by Maria Luiko, Johanna Schütz-Wolff, and Felix Nussbaum, among others, enter into a dialogue with works by artists such as Simone Fattal, Dana Kavelina, and Lawrence Abu Hamdan. The project is a cooperation between the Brücke-Museum and the Schinkel Pavillon.The starting point is the complex, intertwined history of the two institutions. The Schinkel Pavillon is located in the garden of the former Kronprinzenpalais, which housed the New Department of the Nationalgalerie in the early twentieth century. …”
