(2008), the Kestner Society Hanover (2010/11), the S.M.A.K. in Genth (2011), and Kunsthalle Nuremberg (2011). The members of the jury for Vattenfall Contemporary were: Magnus af Petersen, Head of Exhibitions and Collections, Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Angela Bulloch, prizewinner of Vattenfall Contemporary 2011; Udo Bekker, Board member HR, Vattenfall Europe AG; Hanna Marie Ebert, Manager of Corporate Art – Vattenfall Collection; Dr. Thomas Köhler, Director of the Berlinische Galerie; Dr. Heinz Stahlhut, Head of the Fine Art Collection, Berlinische Galerie The Shuttered Society Artistic Photography in the GDR 1949-1989 05.10.2012–28.01.2013 Press conference: 4.10. at 11 am, opening 4.10. at 7 pm The Berlinische Galerie is putting together the first exhibition in the world to take a comprehensive look at art photography in the GDR. Key questions will be: Was art photography ever free under authoritarian East German conditions? And how did things change over the course of four decades? The museum will show works by 33 photographers that critically reflect social conditions: Ursula Arnold’s blunt descriptions of everyday life, Arno Fischer’s melancholy symbolic images, Jens Rötzsch’s colourful metaphors of a society falling apart, and the purely subjective, emotional compositions to be found in work by Thomas Florschuetz and Maria Sewcz. The positions selected convey the major threads of development in art photography in the GDR: montage and experimentation, documentary perspectives and social reportage, and the work of young newcomers in the 1980s. Artists: Ursula Arnold, Tina Bara, Sibylle Bergemann, Christian Borchert, Micha Brendel, Kurt Buchwald, Lutz Dammbeck, Klaus Elle, Arno Fischer, Thomas Florschuetz, Ernst Goldberg, Klaus Hähner-Springmühl, Matthias Hoch, Edmund Kesting, Jörg Knöfel, Fritz Kühn, Matthias Leupold, Ulrich Lindner, Karl Heinz Mai, Sven Marquardt, Roger Melis, Florian Merkel, Peter Oehlmann, Helga Paris, Manfred Paul, Richard Peter sen., Evelyn Richter, Jens Rötzsch, Rudolf Schäfer, Michael Scheffer, Erasmus Schröter, Gundula Schulze-Eldowy, Maria Sewcz, Ulrich Wüst Exhibition architecture: David Saik, Berlin. The exhibition is being supported by the Federal Cultural Foundation. Tue Greenfort GASAG ART PRIZE 2012 02.11.2012–01.04.2013 Press conference: 31.10. at 11 am, opening 1.11. at 7 pm In 2012 artist Tue Greenfort, who was born in Holbæk (Denmark) in 1973 and works in Berlin, will receive the GASAG Art Prize, which was re-programmed two years ago. He belongs to a younger generation of artists who are approaching ecological themes in a new aesthetic manner. However, Greenfort is not merely concerned with questions of sustainability, but also with an understanding of ecology as a “systemic model for social, economic and cultural phenomena and contexts” (Greenfort). 2 Jens Rötzsch: Berlin (Ost) 1989 - Pfingsttreffen der FDJ - Stadion der Weltjugend, © Jens Rötzsch Tue Greenfort: The Worldly House, 2012, Commissioned and produced by dOCUMENTA (13), © Photography: Nils Klinger wWw.BERLINISCHEGALERIE.DE ��
The artist works on this field using subtle associations of content, formal precision, and ironic references to the art of the 1960s and 70s. His works are always sitespecific and investigate historical facts as well as chemical and physical processes. Jury: Prof. Dr. Eugen Blume, Director of the Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin; Markus Strieder, artist, Berlin; Dr. Luca F. Ticini, Max Planck Institute for Cognitive and Neuro-Sciences Leipzig; Dr. Susanne Witzgall, Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, and Dr. Thomas Köhler, Director of the Berlinische Galerie; Observers: Birgit Jammes, Sponsoring/Communication GASAG, Berlin, and Dr. Heinz Stahlhut, Head of the Fine Art Collection, Berlinische Galerie. K. H. Hödicke Painting, Sculpture, Film 22.02.2013–27.05.2013 Press conference: 21.02. at 11am, opening: 21.02. at 7 pm The comprehensive oeuvre of the multi-faceted artist K.H. Hödicke is to be presented in Berlin for the first time in twenty years. In this retrospective of the work of this painter and sculptor, Berlinische Galerie will focus on his experimental visual forms, film works, and architectural images, objects, and sculptures. The presentation’s point of departure is the institution’s own collection, which features several key work groups from Hödicke’s trans-disciplinary oeuvre. Born in Nuremberg in 1938, Hödicke came to Berlin in 1957, where he studied with Fred Thieler at the Hochschule der Künste (HdK) and co-founded the artist’s gallery Großgörschen 35 in 1964. After a one-year stay in New York and in Rome as a Villa Massimo fellow, in the mid-1970s he began teaching at HdK in a position he held until 2006. Hödicke’s new forms of painting and sculpture and the subtle humor of his work influenced several generations of artists and thus shaped the Berlin art community over the long run. The exhibition and catalog are made possible with the generous support of Förderverein Berlinische Galerie e.V. Fred Thieler Prize for Painting 2013 22.02.–13.05.2013 Endowed with 10,000 euros, the art prize is presented in the Berlinische Galerie every two years. The artists receiving the award are always based in Germany, but their creative work can be said to have an international impact.
